Fix 4. Network Related Issues

If the above methods don’t work for you, you should troubleshoot network issues as follows:

1. Check whether you have a good network connection. If the network connection is poor, you may be stuck on “connecting to” for a long time.
2. Check whether you are “online” on Steam. If your status is “away” or something, please change it to online.
3. Restart the host server.
4. Check whether the game is blocked by your Firewall or anti-virus programs. If so, please disable anti-virus temporarily and add the game into the whitelist of the Firewall.
5. Port forwarding isn’t set up. This may also cause Terraria Join Via Steam not working issue. In this case, please enable the feature on your router immediately. You can do so by logging into your browser through the gateway access on your own, or you can call your ISP to help you out with it.
