How LobbyLatch works

Group up first, then join normal public servers together.

LobbyLatch is a coordination layer for community servers. It does not need RCON, plugins, or server control. Players use Steam sign-in, create a room, ready up, and launch into the same public server.

01

Pick a live server

Use the browser to find public servers by region, player count, map, status, and ping.

02

Create a room

Start a shareable party room for that server or use Quickplay to find a seed target.

03

Ready up together

Friends join with the invite link, mark ready, and wait for the countdown.

04

Connect normally

LobbyLatch gives everyone the same connect handoff. The game server remains a normal public server.

For players

Find a server with space, start a room, invite friends.

  • Use Quickplay when you want a ready check before joining.
  • Use Browse when you already know the server you want.
  • Use the copy command or Steam connect action to join.

For server owners

Claim your public listing and keep profile info accurate.

  • Sign in with Steam and open the server page.
  • Submit proof so an admin can review the claim.
  • Add rules, Discord, website, and profile copy after approval.

Trust and reports

Reports go into an admin queue with audit history.

Use server reports for unsafe, misleading, or broken listings. Forum reports and server moderation actions are tracked for admin review.
