Pick a lobby, get the map, and ready up. You do not need to learn commands before you play.
If the Join button does not open the game, use Open in browser for launcher help and an official multiplayer link. The current Discord status card also has room links.
Type these in the lobby chat, including the dot.
| When you want to… | Try |
|---|---|
| See upcoming maps | .queue |
| Ask for the countdown to start | .start |
| Ask for a little more time | .wait |
If you are the only player, ready up for automatic starting; you can also explicitly request .start. See countdown help if the round is not starting as expected.
Votes and Mania style choices affect the shared room. Most of these controls require you to be a gameplay participant; spectators do not count as players. The chat command guide explains this when you are ready to explore.
