Not sure if this was mentioned, but one fairly important thing i missed is you need to have garage unlocked, before you can start a co-op session (multiplayer)
I honestly didn’t know that but you get the garage at the very start of the game and if you want it quicker you can skip tutorial and then you get it instantly
Guys you CAN use your own trucks in someones game and you dont even have to collect them because they will automatically be added to your truck storage once you leave the game. Just keep in mind it will add them at the bottom of the list in your truck storage for some reason
One must have at least one save with at least one garage unlocked prior to hosting or joining someone else. I don't know if it is or was a glitch or part of the process allowed. But yesterday I hosted a game using a slot in which I started via game plus, with everything avilable, and free. My son joined my in his using one of his slots which had a vanilla game in process. He purchased a numer of trucks for free, reconfigured them for free and trird various trucks out. Not like some, he deleted them aka sold them back. However the trucks he like after our session had ended. Were all in his garage. Being that particular slot contained his vanilly play, he tried to delete them, but couldn't and he has to either allow them to stay in storage or sell them thus increaseing his fund's dramatically. Which then screws up his vanilly play through of actually earning the funds.
Do not try to connect through Xbox menu for some reason it never works. Host the coop game wait until you fully in the game then have your friends choose the option to join friends game in coop menu. That should work. Also I recommend to try not to use mods at least till you manage to connect the first time. If that doesn’t work try to connect using the code like I explosion in the video. Hope that helps
Is there a way to make the path traced by the host visible to all players in the section? I think it is something basic and incredible that it is not by default
If we’re unlocked a truck in co-op it’s only owned by me or my friend can unlock it again and own it in my session or he’s need to unlock on his own save and bring it to the co-op?
The host will keep the truck. The other person can use it while in host session but once he goes back to his game he won’t have it and he will have to unlock it himself or you as a former host can join his game and help him unlock it. Hope that’s understandable
I can’t play with my friend, I’m on snow runner pc gamepass and he’s on Xbox, I give him the code and it says it failed then I sent him invites and it still didn’t work. I’m so confused
how about the issue with people getting kicked when someone tries to join or wont connect? can anyone answer that? seems to be a long running major problem.
have you found the solution to this? me and my buddy just bought this game on steam and cant play more than 3 player. it always kicked the 2nd player when 3rd player joining the game. help me
@@muhamadhamdi2748 I could never confirm but it seemed to be convoluted of who was taking the port slot on the internet router. The best thing I could find was opening more ports on your router and seeing if a player will slot into another one or setting certain connections as exceptions (2 Australians and 2 Americans trying to lobby together.)
It show “checking permissions” and then it says “you can play offline or try to connect to online servers” I am online though so I’m not sure whey I can’t go any further
I tried starting a New Game that I could bring my trucks from, but it seems that if you want to start a fresh coop with your newbie friends, then they have to be the ones to host. I think that's correct, I tried to start a coop but my friend got too frustrated by the tutorial.
I don’t think they need to be the one to host they just need to finish the tutorial first ( but maybe I’m wrong ) there is a way to skip the tutorial straight away when you start the new game. Just go to the settings once you started new game and look for the option “skip the tutorial” and it will automatically spawn you in the garage
If you joined someone else’s game you didn’t lose the trucks because you are not allowed to use your trucks just theirs. If you want to find your trucks go to the menu that shows your level I don’t remember the button for that and there is option to see all your trucks and it will show you exact location of your trucks
@@explorationofgames I could remove trucks from my garage..I was in a random person lobby on ps4. I was in michigan and taymyt but wen I went on mu normal save to see if they were there they wasn't.
Hi I play on ps5 and my buddy Xbox when my buddy goes to type the cross play code it loads then its displays: you cannot connect another player to this cross play session. Can you help me please ?
hello, first of all thanks for all video tutorial, this one included, i have a question: me and my brother try to play coop he is host(pc to pc) no modes, game is at the begining, once one of us opens map or go to garage host crashes then i crash too, do you have any advice? cause in this case game is unplayable in coop
Try to change the host to yourself if that doesn’t help try reinstalling the game, a lot of problems with this game can be solved but simple reinstall. Also I’m guessing you guys are connecting trough “join friends game” option, you might try connecting trough the code option like explained in the video. Hope that helps
First you need to put the ones you wanna use into your truck storage then join your friends game and once you’re in the garage go to the truck storage and your trucks will be there, usually at the very end of the list for some reason
Whoever joins has to have the same mods as the host. If he wants to use his mods then you as a host have to download these mods and then invite him in. Even if you personally won’t use those mods you still need to download them and activate them. Hope that helps
So, I'm trying to get 100% on Tennessee, but I don't know anyone who has the game; I'm just waiting for randoms. If someone joins my game, are they able to use the trucks I own, or do they need to bring theirs? If they use mine, are customizations locked? I'm just wondering if I need to retain a variety of upgraded trucks in the garage in case another player wants to race with one.
Whoever joins your game they can use all their trucks providing they were in their garage when they joined. And they can use all of your trucks providing they are in the same region in your game
when trying to play with my cousin (im on xbox and hes on ps4) even tho we both have crossplay on, whenever we put in the code to join eachothers session, it keep telling us the connection failed despite restarting the game/consoles multiple times
Unfortunately multiplayer in this game still has a lot of problems but here is a few things I would try: try to connect without using any mods, if you can try to reinstall the game and lastly make sure both of you have NAT open on your consoles (you can check that in your console network settings)
Me and my friend want to play with mods in xbox but the snowrunner say "Connection was aborted because off the mods.The reason is: Mod version in your crossplay game do not match" but we swiched Both the mods on. Whats the problem? (sorry if my write bad but i not good at english)
If you’re both on Xbox then make sure you both have the same mods installed. If a host will have even one more mod installed than the other player it won’t work. Also make sure all your mods are u updated to the same version. If only one of you is on Xbox and the other one is on different platform it just won’t work at all with the mods no matter what you do
You can only use mods that both you and the host have active. Basically whatever mods host has active they are the only ones you can use and it doesn’t matter how many more mods you have active. Hope that helps
Unfortunately no. You can only do it with mods if you are on the same platform. Because even the same mod on pc and Xbox is not recognised by game as “the same” if you know what I mean
But if your friend is playing on pc but windows store version of snowrunner then I believe it’s possible because technically it’s exactly the same version of the game and the same mods
I’m not sure about PlayStation but on Xbox if one of you is on Xbox and the other one on pc, the one on pc can just download Xbox app and use that to join the chat group on Xbox. I’m sure there is something similar on PlayStation. You can also use Xbox app on your phone and join the group that way you will just need to attach some kind of headphones to your phone unless you wanna use it on speaker. Hope that helps
I’m on Epic and was just using this option 3 days ago. Maybe you accidentally removed all your friends 🤷♂️. Either way you can still connect using the code as explained in the video. Hope that helps
I know if you have mods and I don't, joining your game, require I at least download and install them. But I don't have to activate them to play. I would ask if you know; If I have mod's and you don't, are you then required to download and install just as I was when I joined with no mods and you had them.
It works both ways if host has mods enabled and you’re joining his game the game forces you to download and install all the mods that host has active. Hope that helps
Is the co-op still the same? Everyone plays for the host's progression? and guests just earn credit & XP + you answered all of my other questions in the video xD
I agree but it really depends on luck. I play few times a week in Co-op with literally no problems. But saying that we are both on epic games version which might have something to do with it. Hopefully they will fix it so it will work for everyone
Maybe a bit late since you asked for this 7 month ago, but yes, you can play multiplayer without any season pass. Basically, season pass add new vehicules, new maps and some extra challenges (some specials missions, out of the main maps) but any changes made on the core game are acquire for anybody owning the game (e.g UI changes, bug fixes, crossplaying, etc.) Hope you enjoyed the game anyway.
Trying right now, series s to pc players, we have the same mods installed an all, yet again why did they even add crossplay if it WONT WORK!! Snowrunners is seriously agrovating me. What a huge waste of doe.
Try without mods. I’ve noticed form my testing not all mods work in coop even though on paper they look like they are exactly the same mod. Try without any mods first and then try one by one with the mods so you will figure it out which one works which don’t
2023 New Year’s Eve me “Xbox” my friend “pc” connection to host not established message pops ups it’s not mod differences it’s not cause of cross play simply this game was meant for single player… when they released the game it was focused on single player gameplay only so you’re welcome for wasting 7 minutes of your life watching this video
Thank you I could load all mods in my session but couldn't always have my buddy join. Found a select few that work. The new F-500 for console is a crasher!
I found some of the mods were working fine with my friend until we actually meet in game and then they moved trucks started flying 🤦🏼♂️ but when we were on the same map together just far from each other it was fine. I don’t get this game sometimes :)
@@explorationofgames Lol yeah when we tried to load up the rigs on trailers is when we had troubles. Fair enough to have to work around the game as the Mods are independent from the studio itself and the community has done excellent with mods! Cheers mate! Keep on trucking! Opinions on favorite maps? I always have to ask to try and find a hidden gem.
Don’t really have favourite map but if I had to choose one I would probably go with taymyr just because I know it so well and it’s my go to map for trucks testing
Snowrunner, same disaster as mudrunner. If this game focused 100% on multiplayer and multiplayer offroad 4x4ing, cpuld have been a huge game. Like 20 guys off roading together on trails. Sad. That is why this game died quick

One must have at least one save with at least one garage unlocked prior to hosting or joining someone else.
I don't know if it is or was a glitch or part of the process allowed. But yesterday I hosted a game using a slot in which I started via game plus, with everything avilable, and free. My son joined my in his using one of his slots which had a vanilla game in process. He purchased a numer of trucks for free, reconfigured them for free and trird various trucks out. Not like some, he deleted them aka sold them back. However the trucks he like after our session had ended. Were all in his garage. Being that particular slot contained his vanilly play, he tried to delete them, but couldn't and he has to either allow them to stay in storage or sell them thus increaseing his fund's dramatically.

Why can't snow runner multiplayer be like mud runner but with a garage in the main menu where you can take those trucks to any server.
This might be a dumb question, but can ps4 and ps5 cross play with each other, too?
Didn’t try but I would say they can
Is there a way to make the path traced by the host visible to all players in the section? I think it is something basic and incredible that it is not by default
