Mac

Hello, I have tried reinstalling the game or restarting Mac, but the overlay just doesn't work. My friend also tried the join using servers, but doesn't work either, on my friend's pc it doesn't show. I would be very thankful if this gets fixed. I also cant find the logs or provide a screenshot since the screenshot would just be the screenshot of the game, and the logs i just cant find them in my Mac. Where i looked: steam - browse local files and looked almost everywhere i could. Also looked inside the app but no logs.

Tip: If you press F1 while the game is running, there is a button that will take you to the log folder. I don't know where that is on Mac, so can't tell you, but that will take you there. I assume it works on Mac, anyhow.

Are you playing the game via Steam? If so, and the ESC menu Invite option isn't working, you can click on the person's name on Steam's Friends List panel and choose to invite them from there if you have the game running and are loaded into a save.

Other than that, the information provided doesn't really show what the problem might be. You could be blocking them if you have a firewall, and if you're using a router, that may also block them. There is a pinned topic here that tells you how to forward ports so you aren't blocking people.

Hi there, thanks for bringing this to our attention. I do believe that the steam overlay has stopped working on MacOS since around 2.0. Were you able to find your logs and have you been able to join with your friend yet? Any extra relevant info would be very appreciated. I will be moving this thread to needs more info until we are able to accurately diagnose your issue, thanks again.
