MultiplayerParties
Party invitations arrive — version 1.0.1.7
The developer added parties so players can invite friends, queue together and enter matches together. The note also lists crash, connection, map and audio fixes. Our play-with-friends guide now distinguishes parties from password-protected private rooms.
Private rooms and audio selection — version 1.0.1.4
Password-protected private rooms were added alongside joining, crash and anti-cheat-kick fixes. For missing audio, the developer points to the audio output device setting. The note also explains that the menu's bottom-right version number can be checked, and Steam fully restarted if an update is not appearing.
The update added team and lobby voice chat, with T as the default push-to-talk key and an open-mic option. It also introduced anti-cheat and a Report option in the pause menu, adjusted spawning and spawn protection, and fixed several saved-selection and progress-display issues. The version number is reproduced as published by the developer.
