Saints Row (2022) is an excellent game that allows players to team up and play together in co-op mode. However, some players have been having issues with co-op, specifically with the ‘Host Is Busy’ and ‘Waiting for Player’ errors.
The good news is that there are some fixes for these errors! This article will explain how to fix the ‘Host Is Busy’ and ‘Waiting for Player’ errors in Saints Row (2022), so you can get back to playing with your friends as soon as possible.
How to fix “host is busy” errors when joining a friends game in Saints Row (2022)
If you’re trying to join a friend’s game in Saints Row (2022) and you get the “host is busy” error message, there are a few things you can try.
- First, make sure that your friend is online and playing the game and that both of you have accepted the End User License Agreements (even if you have done it, then redo it repeatedly, call it a weird glitch if you might, but it is what it is). If your friend is online and you still get the “host is busy” error, try restarting the game. This should fix the problem and let you join your friend’s game.
- If you’re still having trouble, you can try joining a different friend’s game. If that doesn’t work, there may be an issue with your Saint’s Row (2022) installation. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the game to see if that fixes the problem.
- Make sure that both of you are at the home screen while trying to organize the co-op. One player should initiate the co-op, and the other should accept the invite and join the save.
- If you’re still having trouble joining your friend’s game in Saints Row (2022), try Going to your Documents folder and finding the SaintsRow.Ini file. Open it with a text editor like Notepad or Wordpad.
Look for the line that says:
CoopJoinSessionTimeout=60
Change the 60 to 300 (or any number above 60). This will increase the timeout period for joining a co-op session, allowing you to join your friend’s game without any issues.
If you’re still having trouble, try joining a different friend’s game or starting your co-op session and inviting your friends to join it. If neither of those works, there may be an issue with your Saint’s Row (2022) installation or your console itself. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the game or resetting your console to see if that fixes the problem.
Saints Row has a few issues with its co-op, so if none of the above solutions work, you may have to wait for a patch from the devs.
