[Half Solved] can't join party hideout - no server assigned.

[Butzy The Dane]

for the past week ive had the same problem with being unable to join party hideouts, with the message "can't join party hideout - no server assigned" ive tried being the one that invited my friends, ive tried having different friends invite me to parties, but nothing seems to change this.
these parties have been the first time ive ever joined parties, so i cant even tell when it "became" a problem, since ive only ever experienced it not working.
its been happening since the 04/03/2026 everyday, between 16:00 CET to 22:00 CET. im from denmark and my buddies are from different places in the UK.


UPDATE 28-03-2026
so my issue escelated to being unable to connect to any steam datagram relay servers, meaning i could not play the game, i tried switching to my phone hotspot and i could play the game AND join hideouts with friends. so after troubleshooting abit, and failing to fix my issue with my internet provider, i bought a new modem/router, and now my game works just fine.

to anyone else with this problem, try rebooting your router, that might just work, and if not, talk to your internet service provider, i just gave up and bought a new one. (in which case, DO NOT BUY TP-LINK, as that was the provider i had that didnt let me play deadlock all of the sudden)

It's the same for me. I'm from Czech Republic same as my friends I play with. Everyone's fine except me. Furthermore, when I create the party, no one can actually join. It's also been over a week for me I believe.

just wanted to update both of you that ive tried switching to my phone hotspot, and i could join my friends party hideout just fine, so its most likely a problem with your router/modem/other form of internet provider. im currently trying to get it fixed with my internet provider, so maybe call your own one and tell them you're experiencing problems

Right. I feel kinda dumb right now but I managed to solve this via restarting the modem... It works just fine since then.

glad to hear yours work fine now, im still stuck with the problem, it even escalated to being unable to even communicate with any steam servers so now i cant even play the game ;( so im trying to get that fixed. atleast now with future people who might have this problem, they have an idea of how to fix it
