NETPLAY TROUBLESHOOTING FAQ:
Q: I am trying to connect to a lobby, but it won't connect. What's wrong?
A: The person you are trying to connect to likely hasn't opened their ports. If they are a friend of yours, tell them to consult the this post on how to do so:

Q: I'm challenging someone to a match, but then it says "no response from opponent" and kicks us back to the lobby.
A: Again, someone hasn't opened their ports. Open your ports! UDP and TCP both!
Q: I have found a bug. Where do I report it?
A: Thanks! Bug reports are welcomed and encouraged.
Feel free to reply to this post with your bug report, or post it in the Discord:

Q: How long is the Beta going to last?
A: The Beta is currently planned to last until Tuesday the 11th at noon EST. After that, I'll be turning off the lobby list server until the game proper comes out.
Q: Me/my friend started a private lobby, but I/they can't find it in the listing.
A: Private lobbies are only view-able when you search for them. Search for your friend's name (not case-sensitive), it should appear.
Q: I have a question or comment about something else.
A: If you need an immediate response, try the Discord!

Again, I'd like to apologize for not getting the Steam API totally set up before this, as port-forwarding can be a bit confusing to do. Hopefully all of that will be sorted out for the release on the 25th!
Hope you get some good games in!
