Frequent Multiplayer Connection Issues
Struggling to join friends or send invites is a recurring problem in Deadzone Rogue. Common reports include:

• Failed invites or sudden disconnections
• Empty lobbies despite active players
• Steam invite buttons freezing or malfunctioning

Reliable Fixes for Seamless Play

Bypass Steam’s unreliable invite system with these methods:

• In-Game Friends List: Add friends directly through the game’s social menu, then invite them from there.
• Invite Codes: Share a lobby code from the game’s menu for guaranteed joins.

Critical Steps for Success

• Enable Steam Overlay before launching the game—many features depend on it.
• Restart both Steam and Deadzone Rogue if issues persist to reset connections.

FAQ

Why do Steam invites fail in Deadzone Rogue?

The game’s lobby system doesn’t sync properly with Steam’s native invite features.

Is the in-game friends list mandatory for multiplayer?

Yes—it’s the only consistent way to ensure invites work as intended.

Does Steam Overlay affect invite codes?

Keep it enabled; disabling it may block codes or invites altogether.
