Over the hill multiplayer: join friends and finish together
Ask the host for the room name and region, then use Multiplayer → Server Browser to join that room. If the host shares a session code, use Join by Code instead. Confirm that everyone is in the same session before leaving the cabin.
Quick guide
Steam release · up to four players total. English menu labels below; follow localised prompts on your device.
- Get the room name and server region, or ask for the session code.
- Open Multiplayer → Server Browser, select the region and room; use Join by Code for a code.
- Join and check that the other drivers are present before leaving.
- Each driver reaches their own checkpoint; wait for the last completion before continuing.
Video guides
Practical driving mistakes and recovery decisions: low range, choosing a line, packing tools and changing a bad pulling angle.

Join a room or use a session code
Use the room name and region when browsing public rooms. A private room needs the host’s session code; switching between random regions will not replace that code.
- For a room name: Multiplayer → Server Browser → the host’s Server Region → select the named room.
- For a code: Multiplayer → Join by Code → Insert Session Code. Enter the host’s current session code and join.
- In the lobby, use the displayed start/join prompt. The Windows keyboard guide shows Enter; use the prompt for your own device. Check that you can see the other drivers in the session.
Keep everyone on the same objective
Online co-op supports up to four players total. The developer FAQ says progression is individual and can continue between solo and multiplayer.
- Agree on one nearby destination and a discovered cabin to return to. Wait for the group before leaving.
- Drive every player through their own checkpoint. Another vehicle reaching it does not complete it for everyone.
- Check your own completion display and wait for the final driver before moving to the next objective.
Help a stuck driver without stranding both vehicles
If recovery has no safe exit, use a discovered cabin as the fallback. The video below covers recovery judgement, not the lobby interface.
- Park the helper on stable ground with room to remain upright.
- Choose a pull direction that brings the stranded vehicle onto reachable ground. Change the angle if the body remains wedged.
- After recovery, let both drivers settle on firm ground before resuming the objective.
If it does not work
| What you see | What to do next | Ready to continue when… |
|---|---|---|
| Room is missing | Select the host’s server region and compare the exact room name. If it is private, ask for its session code. | You can select the intended room or join by code. |
| A lock appears beside the room | Use Join by Code with the code supplied by the host. | You enter that private session. |
| Friend completed it but you received no credit | Drive your own checkpoint and check your own completion display. | Your objective is marked complete. |
Questions from the trail
Is there split-screen?
Local co-op is not currently supported according to the developer FAQ.
Can I use my solo progress?
The FAQ says progress and completed objectives transfer between single-player and multiplayer.
Sources & version notes
Room-name, region and code flow is documented in a release-day Steam player guide with game-menu screenshots. Its server-rental advertising is not a hosting requirement or recommendation.
Individual progress, solo/online continuity and four-player limit: developer FAQ. Recovery video covers helper positioning, not lobby setup.
