Survival co-op title PEAK is best enjoyed with your friends, but it can be tricky if you lose connection mid-game. Thankfully, there's a possible workaround for the problem that allows you to rejoin your friends and resume playing an ongoing round.
That said, the complete process is certainly tricky if you don't know the correct steps. More importantly, you can't technically do anything, and it has to rely on the power of friendship. Sticking true to the spirit of PEAK, your friends will have to help you come back to the island and rejoin the party.
How to rejoin your friends late game in PEAK?
Let's say you lost your connection or the game force-closed. This can happen without prior warning, and your session will be disrupted. If you leave, it creates a problem for you and your friends. Your friends will be one player short (making it difficult for them to win) while you lose all your progression for that round.
- Make sure that the lobby is set to Invite Only or Friends Only. Following post-launch updates, Invite Only is the default setting.
- You must be on your friend's Steam list (quite obvious).
- Right-click on their profile and select Join Game.
This will automatically connect you with your friends and spawn you at the applicable campfire. However, you must be idle and in the main lobby. If you've started your run, the process won't work. This method also works if your friend is trying to join your pre-existing run. The method and restrictions are the same. As long as they follow the steps correctly, they should be able to enter your ongoing run.
Do note that the method of joining your friends in PEAK mid-game can be slightly buggy. There are incidents where players haven't been able to join the desired lobby after enacting the steps correctly. If that happens, it's best to create a fresh instance by restarting your game and repeating the process.
