I have played the game successfully before(year or so ago), downloaded it and went to join a friends game, they're able to load in but I get stuck on connecting. Tried it the other way around and same results with my being able to load in and play and them unable to connect.  


I've got Windows 8.1 and they have Windows 10, both Nvidia cards and Intel CPUs, connected to same wifi network in the building. Game works fine for both of us in single player, only problematic with joining the other.  


I looked at the output_log file and have these errors: http://pastebin.com/BJuqbxhJ


I looked for the files it was complaining about and they don't seem to be present..how can I get them? Verified cache and everything is said to be ok.  Seems similar to this issue from over two years ago: http://steamcommunity.com/app/289130/discussions/0/613937306631164843/

Game Version 1.5.7 S3 64-bit


Specs:

My machine:

Windows 8.1 64-bit

Intel Skylake i5 6500

NVIDIA EVGA GTX 1070

1080p resolution


Friends machine:

Windows 10 64-bit

Intel CPU

NVIDIA GTX 960

1080p resolution


Both systems can run the game in single player just fine, they can host fine, only a player joining a hosted game gets stuck on connecting due to missing files according to the log. Both systems pass verifying cache.
