I really hope this is the correct place to post this as the manual itself stated I should ask here.
Me and a friend have been trying to get multiplayer to work for about three days straight now, and while mine works just fine, his keeps having issues, even after reinstalling, restarting his PC, and making sure we have the same route and trainsets as each other.
We are both playing on stable 1.5.1.
The last time I played OR multiplayer was on X4083 in around 2019.
We are both using the public tsimserver server and ports. These have worked just fine in the past and since I know it's on his end, they still work.
The issues HE has are:
-pause menu appearing on screen with no ability to close it, regardless if selecting unpause or the alt f4 button.
-a message appearing in the bottom corner that says "use alt F4 to quit directly."
-able to use chat, blow horn, but not able to move train.
His train appears just fine in the route as well. I am open to answering any questions not answered by what I've laid out here. Thank you guys so much in advance.
EDIT: I had a successful run with a different friend where we both drove Acela sets from Wilmington to Philly on the stock NEC route to see if it was a game or server problem. It ran smoother than I remembered, so it seems the only possible thing that could be causing issues is the other friend's PC.
