FAQ

Steps (Steam)

  1. Host creates a lobby/room in‑game and sets privacy/room code.
  2. Press Shift + Tab to open the Steam Overlay, then invite via Friends List. (Overlay must be enabled.)
  3. If joining fails, first check overlay and in‑game privacy settings.

See: Steam Support: Steam Community Overlay.

Can't connect / disconnects (PC)

  • Allow the game through firewall/security software. Ensure overlay is enabled globally or per‑game in Steam Settings.
  • Prefer wired Ethernet; restart router to clear conflicts; enable UPnP or configure port forwarding if needed.
  • Match the same region/server when possible to reduce latency and jitter.

Duo Tactics

FAQ (selected)

  • Do I need a subscription? PS5 usually requires PS Plus; Switch depends on the game; PC varies by platform.
  • High latency? Prefer same‑region servers, wired Ethernet, and pause background downloads; enable router QoS if available.
  • Cross‑play? Check the game's own cross‑play setting; we'll label support on each build page.
