G’day Forts Fans! Apologies for the lobby issues some of you are experiencing. We are hard at work on a fix, and will get it to you asap.
In the meantime we have included an ‘Alert to New Lobbies’ feature. Once enabled, players will get an alert each time a new multiplayer server is being hosted, and can drop straight in to it from Campaign or Skirmish.
1. Click ‘Multiplayer’
2. Enable ‘Alert to New Lobbies’ checkbox
3. Click ‘Back’ to go to Main Menu
4. Start Campaign/Skirmish mode
5. Upon receiving an alert, click yes to immediately exit the Campaign/Skirmish and drop into the newly hosted multiplayer lobby.
6. Cause rubble!
You can also invite friends via steam or using the ‘Invite’ feature when setting up a multiplayer game.
Additionally, we have also just added an FAQ post and a Known Issues post for quick reference.
Hope that helps, and thanks for your patience and understanding!
