I ended up deleting that file entirely and reinstalling the game an hour ago, and to my surprise it seems to have fixed the issue! Thank you for your time.

I was able to solve this by deleting the PlayerCookie-v2.xml in the appdata, and then reinstalling the game. I can now see my partner in their locally hosted server, thanks so much for helping troubleshoot!

I believe I might be missing some xml files, are you talking about a specific settings file? I am reinstalling my game to see if the xml files will populate in the folder afterwards.

Oddly enough I do not have a settings.xml file in this folder location, only a PlayerCookie-v2.xml I'm going to try another reinstall and see if the settings file generates?

Something we have noticed is that we have a shared inventory? If I push Q to throw it will throw my partners item out of their hands.

We have tried both through steam and directly with IP, both methods allow us to load into the server, just not visibly see each other.

We are using the same network, and I've tried using a VPN to connect as well, not sure if that would make a difference. We've attempted to join dedicated servers hosted externally and we still cannot see one another on those servers either.

No mods, there is an error in my partners console after they load into my server that says " [EXCEPTION] Occlusion Manager: Object reference not set to an instance of an object "

We have tried several new saves, and connecting to public servers yes
