Agree on the File before you start

The two editions have separate room identifiers and different menus. Choose your names on the host page: it accepts 1–15 letters A–Z or digits. Use another valid name if yours is rejected.

This guide does not create a room or sign you into a service. File #1 steps · File #2 steps

If the room is not visible

Check File and area first. The public room panel is a listing; clicking it does not replace the in-game room workflow. The host’s My game chat follows the room your client has entered.

If the page reports too many connections from your network, close spare game tabs and retry. If its online service is unavailable, solo play is an option when the game itself can start.

Room counts and availability change. Instructions here were checked against the interface; a multiplayer session was not tested by this site.
