As the game was released, it promised the benefit of co-op gameplay. So if you’re wanting to play with some others you might have a hard time doing so, if that’s the case we look at how to fix Redfall multiplayer not working.
Redfall launched with negative reviews and also suffered some performance issues, much like Jedi Sruvivor the weekend beforehand. But if you’ve made it past that, you still may want some buddies to help you fight the vampires throughout the island. But if you can’t join or invite them we look at some potential fixes.
Redfall multiplayer fix
One user on Reddit has offered a potential solution to the multiplayer issue. They suggest all the players start a single-player campaign and get through it a bit and then try again. First, they suggest just killing a few enemies, but in another comment also suggest unlocking the base.
This might just nudge the game into acknowledging you all being able to get together and start the co-op experience. Especially as the progress will be saved to the host user so you want to make sure you’re on the same page.
Other potential fixes
Check the server status of Redfall
Since the game runs on servers, you need to check they are up. On the Bethesda status page, you can see the status for each game. So make sure they are up at the moment so you can enjoy the game, and it’s not anything on your side
Check your connection
Make sure you’re connected to the internet or service. Since the game is always online you have to make sure your connection is working well. And make sure your Bethesda account is connected. As this will ensure the game can connect to the servers and you can play it.
FAQs
Are the Redfall servers up?
At the time of writing, they are. But to check live, you can go to Bethesda’s status page to find out.
How to play co op in Redfall?
To play co op you will need your friend’s Bethesda account ID or have them on the platform you’re playing on. Then as you choose to start to play you can host a game and invite them from the next scene. If you’re the invited user you can then accept the game and you should be able to join. If it’s not working first everyone should start a singleplayer game and kill a few enemies and/or get a base then try to to co op again.
