Thank you both for the report! To help us out a bit, would either one of you mind posting a screenshot and letting us know the build number you are playing on? It would help us make sure we understand the issue completely, although the info you provided was pretty clear, it's better to include too much info. Thank you!

I am very sorry to hear this! Would you mind gathering your save gae file (the most recent, just in case) and your dxdiag for us and zipping them together to host up somewhere and share the link here so we can use this information to help us figure out what is going on? We would appreciate it, Steps on how to gather the info:

This has been addressed in the recent 0.3.0.2416 update! Please verify you are on this new build and check to see if this is still happening! As for emailing support, for all public test build issues we ask that you keep them on the forums. You will help us greater with posting on the forums so the team can see your issues much quicker in order to work on fixes faster!

We tried some things with the 0.3.0.2416 update we just pushed out to hopefully fix this. If you are on build 0.3.0.2416 and still experience issues with multiplayer, can you post about it here? Also, can you let us know if this was an issue you experienced previously on the release build? Thank you! Also, I merged two threads together since they were for the same issue.

The easiest way to maintain your saved game files when switching between the release build and joining the public test is to make a duplicate save by copying the folder in your Saved Games folder and move it to a safe location before joining the Public Test. Here's how to do this: Method 1: Step 1: Load the game you wish to save. Step 2: Make 2 saves using the save feature in the game. Log out of the game after you confirm you have two saves of the same game. Step 3: Switch to the public test. Choose one of the duplicated saves to be your public test save. Only enter using that save, do not launch the game using the save you are keeping for the release build. Step 4: Play the public test. Step 5: When you are done with the Public Test, switch your Steam client back to the release build. Step 6: Launch Grounded. Step 7: Exit Grounded and wait for the cloud to sync. Step 8: Launch Grounded and continue playing where you left off! Method 2: Step 1: Navigate to C:\Users[USERNAME]\Saved Games\Grounded Step 2: Find the save folder you wish to save, and make a copy of it. You can add something like "-Current Save" at the end so you know what save it is. Step 3: Move the copy to a location outside of this folder, preferably on your Desktop or somewhere you will remember. Step 4: Join the Public Test and start playing! Step 5: When you are done with the Public Test, switch your Steam client back to the release build. Step 6: Move your save file back into your Saved Games folder. Remove any additional words you added to the name. Step 7: Log in and continue playing where you left off! Have fun, and continue to let us know what you uncover in the public test backyard!

Things to keep in mind: The content you are going to experience is currently in development. By participating in our public test, you will be able to help us locate issues and fix them before the content is officially released to all platforms. Since this content is still in development, we ask that when discussing unreleased content to please respect those who aren't participating in the public test who may be waiting for the content to officially release. Use spoiler tags when you feel it is appropriate. It is important to remember that your save files might not be compatible between the test builds and the release builds. This is especially true when moving back to the release branch from the public test branch, since the content in the public test save contains unreleased content.
