To fix multiplayer connection issues in Once Human, ensure that you and your friends are on the same server and world, complete the tutorial, and use teleportation towers to meet up. Create a Hive for full interaction with each other's bases.

  • Complete the tutorial after character creation.
  • Use teleportation towers to align worlds for interaction.
