Compare builds
- Have everyone record the displayed build number. Also compare the selected branch in Steam → Properties → Game Versions & Betas.
02
Choose one branch
- After backing up saves, select the same branch; prefer the normal non-beta branch for diagnosis. Wait for updates.
03
Match add-ons
- Test a fresh session without mods. Do not continue an important modded run with required add-ons missing.
04
Retry joining
- Restart everyone’s game and send a fresh invitation. If it works, do not also change the router or firewall.

Frequently asked questions
Does everyone need the beta?
No. A matching installation is the comparison; beta access is not a mandatory fix.
