LambdaNet
Play private matches with your friends, with your own rules. Creating and joining lobbies, finding a match, and the game modes you can play.
LambdaNet lets you play private matches with your friends, with your own rules. Make a lobby, invite your friends, pick a game mode and we'll find a server for you.
You need to be signed in to use LambdaNet.
Creating a lobby
Choose Create Lobby, then pick the game, the location to play in and who can join:
| Privacy | Who can join |
|---|---|
| Public | Anyone. The lobby shows in the public lobby list. |
| Friends Only | Your friends, from the Friends tab of the lobby list. |
| Private | Only people with the invite code. |
New lobbies are Private unless you change it.
Joining a lobby
- Pick a public lobby from the lobby list, or
- choose Join with Code and enter the 6-character code a friend gave you.
You can only be in one lobby at a time, and you can only join a lobby that isn't already searching or playing.
Starting a match
The lobby leader chooses the game mode and settings, then Start Search. LambdaNet finds a free server and sets it up for your lobby. When it's ready, everyone chooses Join Match. You can also copy the connection string and paste it into the console.
If no server is free, the search stops after a couple of minutes. Try again shortly.
When the match is over, choose Return to Lobby to play again.
