@Relyss Gonna try that… gosh if it’s Steam Overlay again… Feels like the most common issue

@Relyss So the Steam Overlay didn’t help… I’m out of ideas about what could cause this. 
I’m out of ideas too. In the past, clean reinstalls and updating the drivers helped. In one of the posts above, you imply that the graphic drivers of the laptop are updated, but the log above my post where I link the Nvidia site shows that the drivers are outdated, are they now updated? (Just making sure you tried that workaround).
Also, in the Nvidia control panel there’s some option to force the Stonehearth.exe to run with the Nvidia card instead of with the integrated chipset that comes with the processor, not sure if that’d help.
I found that for other games, the problem where one player can host and their friend can connect to him but the opposite doesn’t work, was caused by some sort of firewall app or network configuration that was blocking incoming connections. So perhaps it’s something in your end like you said?
As a last resource, there’s a way to play multiplayer without joining through Steam, but it’s a manual process that involves editing your user_settings.json (if you’re on the same local network you don’t need to forward the ports on your router I think) and the settings will still be there next time you open the game so the main menu might take time to appear because it thinks it has to connect to a host (unless you change them after you finish playing): Multiplayer without Steam?
