Multiplayer in Content Warning: how to play with friends online

Multiplayer in Content Warning allows you to bring your friends into the game to explore the Old World and its monsters. The cooperative is a key component of this project, because you get the most pleasure and are most likely to score view quota will only come out with a full team. In this guide, we will tell you how to create a lobby and invite friends to Content Warning, and also look at the main connection errors.

How to play with friends

In total, the Content Warning lobby can contain from 1 to 4 people, however, there is a third-party modification to extend the session up to 128 participants - for this it is necessary that all gamers download special plug-in.

You can invite only those gamers who are friends on the Steam service to the game. Also the user should not use the mode "Invisible" — in this state, the host will not see the friend on the network, and therefore will not be able to invite him to the group.

To create your own game, you need to select the item in the main menu "To play with friends" (mode "Random Joining" connects four random people from all over the world).

As soon as the server is created, you can invite friends through the teleport in the corner of the house on the second floor, or through a similar command in the game menu, which opens when you press the button Esc.

After calling the list of friends, all that remains is to select the desired user - he will receive an invitation to join the lobby and if he has a game in his library, he will be able to log in.

When everyone has connected to the current session, do not forget adjust allies volumeso that the current adventure takes place in comfortable conditions.

Solving possible problems

There is a bug with endless loading when connecting to someone else's game - this is due to the fact that the computer's characteristics do not meet the minimum system requirements:

• Processor: Intel Core i5 @ 2.5 GHz or equivalent.
• RAM: 8 GB RAM or more
• Video card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 ti or AMD R9 380.

A weaker PC can run Content Warning in many cases, but will not be able to support multiplayer mode.

The following connection errors also exist:

• Failed to join lobby (Lobby room has reached its maximum size) - Failed to join the lobby because the team size has reached its maximum size.
• Failed to join room (Game full) - an error similar to the previous one.
• Host left the game (You`ve been disconnected) - the player was disconnected due to a technical error or the host left the session.
• Failed to join room (Game closed) - an error that occurs if the team has already started the passage by opening the front door.
• Failed to create photon room (Failed to get server instance) - the server was unable to create a new lobby for co-op play.
• Failed to join room (Game does not exist) - a connection error that occurs when you try to log into a non-existent session.
• High server loads, please expect network issues (We are trying to fix ut) - means high load on the server, so expect problems with the network.

Here are the main ways to help solve connection problems:

1. Restart the game (if it freezes, use the key combination “Alt” + “F4”).
2. Try switching roles with a friend (the one who connected to the lobby should now try to create one).
3. Load another save slot.
4. Try a different game mode (solo or with random people).
5. Check the integrity of files through Steam functions.

Also don't forget update current version games and follow official announcements about technical work.
