How to Fix For the King 2 Multiplayer Not Working
IronOak Games, the developers behind For the King 2, have recently released multiple hotfixes fixing several issues including multiplayer. They have addressed several issues in the update including the different multiplayer issues in the game. We would suggest you update the game with the hotfix and to the latest version to resolve the issues. It is worth noting that all of the players in Co-op should have the same version to play multiplayer in the game. You will have to make sure that your friends have all the patches and hotfixes installed.
According to this Steam Community Thread, one of the developers has stated that the multiplayer connectivity issues have been resolved and will fully resume. Having said that, as mentioned before there can be various reasons why the issue may occur while playing For the King 2. However, if the multiplayer not working issue persists even after updating the game to its latest version then here are some workarounds you can try out to fix it:
Check Server Status
Ongoing server outages or maintenance can cause the multiplayer not to work while playing For the King 2. And the simple thing to do here would be to check the server status of the game. Players can either follow the official For the King 2 Twitter page or join their Discord Server. The devs will update any server issues or maintenance on the page as well as their discord server.
Change Server Region
If you are unable to come across any servers in For the King 2 then a simple fix would be to change the server region in the multiplayer option. Once inside the multiplayer option, simply click on the Region option and change it accordingly. By default, it will be set to Null in the game which is why you may not come across any servers.
Create Public Lobby
One of the workarounds that has worked for many players is to create a public lobby with a password. After that, you and your friends will have to wait for a while before your friends can start joining the lobby. It will be important for them to join the lobby from the server search option with the correct credentials. Once done the multiplayer not working issue would be resolved in For the King 2.
Verify the Integrity of Game Files
We would suggest you look for any corrupted files in the For the King 2’s file directory. Here are the steps you can follow to do so:
- Launch Steam and head over to the library.
- Right-click on For the King 2 from the library.
- Select the Properties option.
- After which, head click on the Installed Files tab.
- Here, you will find the Verify the Integrity of Game Files option.
If the issue persists even after workarounds, you can either try to uninstall or reinstall the game to fix the issue. Players will have to keep track of all the further updates and patches that the developers provide.
