Getting Started
Multiplayer
Rooms support 2–8 players. New players can join only during Break, and only when a free place remains.
Creating a room
| Setting | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Max Players | 2–8; default 8. At least 2 players are needed to start class. |
| Visibility | Public rooms appear in Room List. Private rooms do not. |
| Room name | Initially the host's name followed by Room. |
| LAN | Available on the login screen beside online server choices. |
Joining and inviting
Room List accepts a room name or code and provides Hide Full Rooms, Hide Rooms in Progress, Friends Only and Max Ping filters.
The room code appears in the menu with a copy control. Use the menu's Invite button or the school's payphone to open Steam friend invitations.
Room management
Only the host can kick a player; kicked players cannot rejoin that room. Any player can locally mute another player's voice.
Only the host may change room rules, and only during Break.
Voice chat
T is the default push-to-talk key. Mic Activation offers Hold and Always modes. Audio settings include microphone selection, Mic Boost, Voice Volume and echo cancellation.
Mods
Mods opens the Mod Manager, which provides Workshop browsing, a local mod folder and load ordering. Changes require a restart.
On joining a room, network mods are compared with the host's set. The game warns about missing mods, different versions and a different load order.
