Online Multiplayer is Live!
[h2]Hellpoint online multiplayer is now live![/h2]
After the weekend of hard work, we managed to get rid of our backend's nastiest bottlenecks. Happy to report that our servers look stable, the online multiplayer is functional once again, and everyone is welcome to try it out!
How to join a multiplayer match:
For the host:
1. Press T (Options button if you play with controller) while in-game. In the menu that appears, select the Online tab (Z, X to navigate).
2. Find the 8-digit match code.
3. Share it with another player.
For the second player:
1. Press T (Options button if you play with controller) while in-game. In the menu that appears, select the Online tab (Z, X to navigate).
2. Select Enter match.
3. Enter the 8-digit match code (Up, Down to navigate).
4. State your intentions (co-op or PvP).
In Hellpoint, online multiplayer is P2P and as of now it may be getting blocked by firewalls and VPNs. Also, naturally it does not go well long distances (USA - EU connection attempts, for instance). If issues occur (e.g. unability to connect to other people via a match code or a wall "hand" invite), please report them to us and they will be dealt with. The next hotfix is already on its way.
Possible temporary solutions would be:
Thank you everyone so much for your patience! We plan on rolling out a fix shortly.

- Disable your firewall
- Try turning your VPN off (in some cases connections establish with VPN on)
