technical issue Client AND Server problems when joining friends hosted server

[Pendraggon 0]

crossposted from here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/366220/discussions/4/152392549357753161/

Hello. My friend is hosting a server over Tunngle in Canada while my other friend and I are in Australia, my other friend cannot join his server at all, while I am sometimes able to join, and when I do, I see this: 

We can see the server in the LAN tab. We can also direct connect sometimes. It's not very stable so we can't see a pattern. To make things work, my Canadian friend has an American friend who CAN connect properly without any problems at all. Any ideas on how to fix this? I can provide information about the server setup on request. Also recently, another Australian friend of ours tried joining and it worked perfectly! We have no idea.

 

UPDATE:  I joined as a different name, selected a kingdom but the character select form didnt show up. But I did retrieve this crash report, as the game crashed immediately after. I hope this helps.

 

Unexpected crash while playing The error was: <null>

It's possible you might figure out what's wrong from the log file below, but if you can't, post the full log on the wurm unlimited forums, and someone else might be able to help you.

Make sure the starter deed does not have water, especially around the token and the perimiter.

This happens if the game tries to spawn you in deep water - it kicks you to coordinate 0.0 and you get stuck.

are you sure this is the problem? After all, the host, and two other random people were able to join. I will still try it when the host is available next.
