how do you join your friends now?

haven't played in 2 years and me and my friends decided to all hop on. but apparently now you cant join your friends off of steam and you need to give people lobby codes. and still doesnt even work for me

this game is a bit of a ♥♥♥♥ show rn but you can invite people via the social hub thingy

Steam still works. Unless one of your friends has it on epic, then you will need to use the social hub

steam doesnt work for me, neither for my friend. ive only tried joining one person's lobby, so maybe i need to join someone elses

Vanilla approach:
Go to "Play online" -> Contract broker -> select a heist -> copy lobby code and send it to your friends.

Modded approach:
Install VanillaHUD Plus mod, it will add a "Create empty lobby" menu item from which you still share your lobby code.

It is actually f'ed up thing that after 10 years developers still didn't do what the modders did.
We currently use the "modded" way since I couldn't find how to do things more convenient way

steam partially works for me. i can only invite people via steam if my lobby is public or i invite them with socialhub first then it magically lets me invite again thru steam. almost everyone i play with is on steam btw
