Invite friends and check the player cap

Before you start

• Your current game version
• The item, setting or quest mentioned below

What to check

1. Developer patch notes added support for up to eight players in 1.0.4, then invite-only lobbies in 1.0.5. The Steam description still says one to four. For a friends-only crew, choose the private session option.

2. Choose the private session option and invite your group. If you change session type in an existing game, the 1.0.5 notes say that change requires a restart.

3. Compare versions, difficulty and whether the source described solo or group play before copying a tactic. Do not turn an old video’s group size into a current cap. Check the current lobby controls if your installation differs.

Check the result

Your intended players appear in the private session. Confirm the current lobby controls on your installation.

If it goes wrong

Compare versions and host/guest roles if joining fails. Exact invite menu screenshots and a universal black-screen fix remain unverified.
