MECCHA CHAMELEON Can’t Join Friends

Safe checks for friend-joining problems, written as community-reported guidance instead of a tested fix.

UnconfirmedVersion: Needs verificationUpdated: 2026-06-28

Quick Answer

This MVP has not personally tested friend invites. Keep the first checks simple: confirm both players are online in Steam, both are on the same game version, and neither player is using modified files.

Symptoms

  • A friend invite does not open the lobby.
  • Joining fails without a clear error.
  • A lobby appears visible to one player but not another.

Safe First Checks

  1. Make sure both players restart Steam.
  2. Confirm both players have updated the game.
  3. Try creating a new lobby instead of reusing an old one.
  4. Check whether public matchmaking works.
  5. Record whether the issue happens with every friend or only one account.

What Not to Do

  • Do not disable security software permanently.
  • Do not open router ports unless an official source says it is required.
  • Do not use third-party matchmaking tools.

Verification Status

Unconfirmed. This page needs real player reports before stronger wording is used.
