r/tf2
My friend just got a PC and wanted to play with me, but they want to mess around in a private match before trying anything else. I've created my own server from the "Create your own Server" option in the menu, but I can't invite them at all.
How can I invite them or how can they join me?
level 1
Create server is a LAN server. Go find an empty community server and play there
level 1
The create server option is basically useless (unless you want to play with bots.) try creating your own server, (difficult, but plausible.) use Duel.tf if you want to do a 1v1 with them, or just find an already established online server.
level 2
how do you do the difficult but plausible version of creating your own server?
level 1
The create your own server optoon cannot be used with another player, only you and any bots you add. Your best bet is to go search for an empty community server and play with them there if you wanna be alone.

Once you're on your server, access the Steam Overlay. The default shortcut for that is Shift+Tab. Then all you need to do is to open the "Friends & Chat" window and right-click the friend(s) you want to invite, or left-click the arrow next to their name, and select "Invite To Play" which is usually followed by the title of the game.
If the Steam Overlay is disabled, you can either:
- enable it by going to "Steam" (in the top left corner of your Steam
Client) -> "Settings" -> "In-Game" -> "[✔] Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game".
- or just tab out of the game and invite your friends from the "Friends and Chat" window there.

You know how youtubers invite everyone to their server? I wanna do the same thing.
Have you tried having people join your server with the connect command through the developer console?
And I set The sv_lan to 0
Yes, but they cant.Originally posted by Broomi:

Do they get any error messages? It seems, that it has nothing to do with the invite feature. But instead it's just a problem with your server.
Did you forward your ports?
For community servers it should work through the Steam overlay. But if you're playing on Casual servers, you can't invite friends. The only way to play Casual servers with friends is to join a party and then search for a game.
that wasn't the awnser I was looking for
