Field note

Recognize the known symptom

No lobbies found

The current issue list says some players can be region locked and unable to see other lobbies. This does not by itself show that your router is blocking the game.

Steam invite trouble

Joining through a Steam invite appeared in the earlier 0.34.19 issue snapshot; check newer notes before assuming it remains unchanged.

Version mismatch

Checking that the whole group is updated is a sensible diagnostic because different builds cannot be assumed compatible. This is general troubleshooting, not a cited root cause.

Field note

Low-risk checks

The official source establishes the symptoms. These steps are general Steam session checks and are labeled accordingly.

  1. Check the official discussion first

    Look for a current developer update or widespread reports before changing local settings.

  2. Confirm Steam is online

    As a general check, verify that each player appears online in Steam and that no game update is pending.

  3. Restart the Steam session

    Close the game, restart Steam, and create a fresh lobby or invite. This refreshes the client session but does not repair a server-side defect.

  4. Retry the invite from Steam

    Use a fresh Steam friend invite and have the recipient accept it from the normal Steam interface or overlay.

  5. Compare a simple test

    Try with one host and one guest first. Record whether lobby discovery or the invite path fails, along with the current patch number.

Field note

Avoid unsupported network changes

If multiple players on different connections see the same failure, keep the evidence short and check the official discussion. A reproducible report is more useful than stacking unrelated network changes.
