Deadlock is a fantastic game, and even better when played with friends! This guide provides a clear, step-by-step walkthrough on how to invite your Steam friends to join you in the action. Whether you're a seasoned Deadlock veteran or a fresh recruit, these instructions will help you quickly get into a game with your buddies.
Before You Start: Ensuring Everything is Set Up
Before diving into the invitation process, make sure you have the following:
- Deadlock Installed: Both you and your friend need to have Deadlock installed and running on your Steam accounts.
- Steam Online: Ensure both your Steam client and your friend's are online and connected.
- Friend Added: Confirm that your friend is added to your Steam friends list. If not, you'll need to send them a friend request first.
Step 1: Launching Deadlock and Accessing the Main Menu
First, launch Deadlock on your computer through your Steam library. Once the game loads completely, you'll find yourself in the main menu. This is the starting point of our journey to invite your friend.
Step 2: Navigating to the Multiplayer Section
In Deadlock's main menu, locate and select the multiplayer option. This is typically a prominent button or tab clearly labelled as "Multiplayer," "Online," or something similar. The exact wording might vary slightly depending on any game updates.
Step 3: Opening the Friends List
Once in the multiplayer section, you'll need to access your friends list within the game. Look for a button or icon usually depicting a person or a list of people; this will open the in-game friends list.
Step 4: Locating Your Friend in the List
The in-game friends list will display your online Steam friends who are also playing Deadlock. Find your friend's name on this list. If their name isn't visible, they may not be online, playing Deadlock, or may have their status set to "offline" within Steam.
Step 5: Sending the Invitation
Once you've found your friend's name, select them. This should bring up an option to invite them to your current game session or lobby. Click on this "Invite" button, usually clearly labelled as such.
Step 6: Your Friend Accepts!
Your friend will receive an invitation notification within Deadlock. They'll need to accept the invitation to join your game. Once they accept, they'll be added to your session.
Troubleshooting Tips:
- Friend Offline: If your friend is offline on Steam, they obviously won't receive the invitation. Make sure they're online and in Deadlock.
- Game Version Mismatch: Ensure both you and your friend are running the same version of Deadlock. Version mismatches can prevent you from playing together.
- Network Issues: Network problems can interfere with game invitations. Check your internet connection.
- Firewall/Antivirus: Make sure your firewall or antivirus software aren't blocking Deadlock's connection to Steam.
