Find players and join a crew

01 Public lobbies, Quickmatch or a code?

For a random group, choose Quickmatch. To host or select a lobby, use the main-menu lobby options. For people you already arranged to meet, ask the host for their lobby code. Patch 2 also gives the host a kick option. These are the announced routes; no region filter, queue-time promise or automatic reconnection is established here.

1. Before joining strangers, decide your language, voice preference and pace.
2. For a known group, confirm both players have updated; use the host’s current code.
3. If joining fails, note whether you failed at the menu, lobby entry or loading screen.

02 Why is a lobby missing from the list?

Patch 3 (30 October) hides full lobbies and lobbies that have already started a game from the joinable list. If you are looking for a friend's room, ask the host whether the game has started or the lobby is full before treating its absence as a connection failure. This check explains two documented filters; it cannot establish why every lobby is missing or whether the servers are healthy. The notes do not establish that a code bypasses these filters or allows joining a run in progress.

03 No Discord? Start with Steam discussions

Open this game’s Steam Discussions and look for a recent group invitation in a language and play window that work for you. Check the original post and latest reply: an old room code is not proof that the lobby is still open. If a group suits you, use the invitation method the host provides. You can use our crew card to prepare a clearer request when you need a group later.

04 Write a message someone can act on

Include your play window and time zone, preferred language, whether you will use voice, your experience level and the pace you want. For example: ‘New player, 19:00–20:00 UTC, English voice, learning routes, relaxed first attempts.’ That is more useful than ‘anyone playing?’ You can copy this structure into a community you already use; this website does not publish your message or match you with strangers.

05 If a specific invitation fails, capture the boundary

Write down whether you can see the invitation, enter the lobby, begin loading, or reach the game before disconnecting. Have both players confirm that their clients are updated. Retry once with the same steps after restarting the game, then record the result. If you test a different host, change only that variable and note whether it changes the outcome.

06 Leave with a reproducible report

Record the time, build, party size, host/joiner roles and exact error text. Avoid posting private invitation codes or account information in a public thread. Use the troubleshooting builder to assemble these details, then follow the developer's reporting route. A useful report explains the transition that failed, not simply that multiplayer is broken.
