Is PEAK down right now?
PEAK sessions live on one player’s machine, since the host runs the climb for the whole group. When the host struggles, everyone feels it through lag, freezes, or endless loading screens. The PEAK status here separates host trouble from faults in the wider Steam service.
A Steam wobble is the other wide cause, since invites ride on it. If the friends list itself is failing, no lobby trick saves the session. Wait for Steam to steady, then rebuild the lobby from scratch. Players in Türkiye who top up game currency through Perdigital hit the same wait when that store stalls mid purchase.
Is PEAK down for me or everyone?
Run one test climb alone, then invite one friend. Solo play working while co-op fails points at the session, not your install. If nobody anywhere can connect, treat it as a PEAK outage and give the service time to recover.
How does hosting change the game?
The host’s machine builds the mountain and tracks every climber, rope, and fall. A weak host PC or a shaky upload makes the whole party rubber-band and desync. Picking the strongest machine and steadiest line as host fixes more sessions than any setting.
Every run starts with the host sending fresh map data to each player. That burst is why lobbies stutter at the start, then settle once the world syncs. A player on a crawling connection holds the whole group at the loading screen.
What stops an invite from working?
Version mismatch is the quiet blocker: players on different builds cannot join each other. Privacy settings hiding a profile from non-friends also break lobby joins. Matching updates, and Steam friendship inside the lobby, clear most dead invites.
Does voice chat run through the host?
Voice rides inside the session, so a broken session often takes chat down with it. When voices vanish, check the input and output picks in the game settings. A headset grabbed by another app is another cause of silent lobbies.
Why does the lobby wait on one player?
The session cannot start the climb until every client finishes loading and syncing. One slow drive or weak link holds the whole party at the gate. That design keeps everyone together, at the cost of the slowest player’s pace.
Common PEAK Problems and Fixes
Fix the session in this order, and retest the lobby after each step. Most dead invites and endless loading screens clear in the first three steps.
Match game versions
Have every player update and restart Steam before joining. A group split across two builds cannot connect, no matter how clean the invites look. The version shows on the main menu for a quick compare.
Pick a stronger host
Let the player with the best PC and wired connection host the run. Their machine carries the world for everyone, so its strength sets the group’s ceiling. If lag follows the host between lobbies, hosting is the fault.
Wire up and quiet the network
Plug in a cable where you can, and pause big downloads on the host machine. Co-op sync hates jitter, and Wi-Fi bursts cause exactly that. A router restart before the session clears tired connections.
Allow the game past security apps
Firewall and antivirus tools can block the session traffic between players. Allow the game in both, or test once with them paused to prove the block. Voice chat returning after the change confirms the path is open.
Rebuild the lobby cleanly
Have everyone leave, restart the game, and form a fresh lobby with new invites. Old sessions carry stale state past simple rejoins. A clean lobby with matched versions fixes invite loops that nothing else touches.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is PEAK down right now, or is our host the problem?
The host is the problem in most failed sessions, since no central PEAK server runs the climb. Swap hosts and retry before blaming the service. If Steam friends features fail too, the wider fault is real.
How do I fix a lobby stuck on the loading screen?
Find the slowest link first, since the session waits for every player to sync. Wired connections and a stronger host clear most stalls. If one player always stalls, check their drive and connection.
What should I check when invites do nothing?
Check versions first, then friendship and privacy settings. Invites die when builds differ or profiles hide from non-friends. Then send a fresh invite from a rebuilt lobby.
Does everyone need the same version to play together?
The session refuses mixed builds, and Steam does not always update every player at the same moment. A quick update check across the group before the first invite saves a round of head-scratching.
Can I climb solo when co-op is broken?
Solo runs use only your machine, so they work while lobbies fail. Use a solo climb to confirm your install is healthy. If solo also breaks, the fault is local.
When is Steam the real cause?
When friends lists, invites, and other games fail at the same time, Steam is the cause. The game leans on Steam for every social feature. Nothing local fixes that, and sessions return once the service steadies.
