Fix the session before the fun disappears

Start with quick checks, change one thing at a time, and stop when the failed layer is isolated.

BOMBANANA monkey communication wheel in game

Room code and browser

Lobby not working

Use a clean sequence for version mismatch, room visibility, Steam state, firewall, and route testing.

Open lobby checklist

No audio or delayed voice

Voice chat not working

Confirm the input path from operating system permission through Steam voice settings and the game.

Open voice checklist

Use the five-minute baseline first

  1. Have all three players fully exit the game.
  2. Let Steam finish any pending update, then restart Steam.
  3. Confirm that every player launches the same current build.
  4. Create a fresh room and test both room code and global lobby browser.
  5. If one player still fails, test that player on a different network.
Keep the test clean: Do not change firewall, VPN, input device, and host at the same time. One change should answer one question.
