I have a problem with joining a multiplayer game. This concerns the game version 2.0.73, build 84377 expansion win 64.
A couple of days ago, I joined a friend's multiplayer game. At first, I was not able to join, but then I learned that I had to open port 34197 (and choose UDP). That did the trick. Today, we wanted to continue our playthrough, buit I was not able to join again. I checked my browser settings and it turned out that I had to open the port again, which I did. However, this time, I was still not able to join her game. Instead I received the error message "Could not establish network communication with server". In the public game browser, the Ping could also not be displayed. I don't think I did anything differently from last time, when it worked. Similarly, my friend also said that she did not change any settings since Saturday. The weirdest thing about all of this, however, is, that I was able to join other public games without any problems. And she was also able to join a game hosted by me.
Does anybody have a clue where the problem might be? The only things I can think of are a) me repeatedly getting the password wrong (unlikely, because it's a very simple password) and b) maybe some IPv4 / IPv6 shenanigans. If I go to whatismyipaddress.com it says that I have a IPv6-address. In my router-settings, it says I have IPv4 and the clearance / permission-section in my browser-settings also refer to IPv4. But that's just a guess.
I am not very tech-savy - I was glad I managed to open the port at all last time - so any help would be gladly appreciated.
Best,

P.S:. I think I should also mention that my friend plays the steam-version while I bought the website-version. But then again, that did not stop us last time.
