Next to this excellent new feature, a few other new things we introduced are: Integrating with Steam as GPL-licensed software has challenges, which we haven’t resolved yet.īut we hope you agree that this new multiplayer experience is the next best thing.
Sadly, to set expectations, no integration with Steam itself has been added. No setup needed on your side, no port-forwarding, nothing. They can join your server, just like that. Playing together is as easy as one of you starting a server, marking it either “Public” or “Invite-Only”, and sharing the newly introduced invite-code with your friends. One of the things that stood out: playing together is not easy for many players. With our release on Steam not even six months ago we got some excellent feedback from the community on what to improve next. Today I have the pleasure to announce to you that we just released the first beta of our 12.X release series!
