On the left side of this new window you’ll see, “Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall”.Click the one that appears under Settings. Type into the Windows search taskbar, “Windows Defender Firewall”.Our steps below are specifically for the Windows Defender Firewall. If you’re not using Windows Defender Firewall and have a different program handling your firewall, you’ll have to do it there instead. While I don’t know why it works, the developer has responded that they’re looking into it. It revolves around tweaking your Windows Defender Firewall and creating exceptions for each Chivalry 2 exe file. With that said, I first came across the solution from a Reddit thread that has worked for plenty of people, myself included. Not everyone is going to want to follow this solution since it requires a firewall exception for Chivalry 2. However, sometimes it can be fun to search for your friends on the battlefield. This can be frustrating when you’re trying to stay together. The only negative you may run into is that players not in your party may get switched to the other team. If you’re trying to play with more than that, you can still use the server browser to join the same match. Therefore, you can play with up to three other friends in your party.

If you’re trying to add a player from a different platform, it’s worth visiting our guide on how crossplay now works in Chivalry 2. This new social menu is part of the update implementing cross-platform parties. Before jumping to the more complicated party fix below, you may want to restart your game and see if that works. If you can’t see a button visible, this is likely tied to a once common bug. Once you’ve found the person you’re searching for, simply click the Add Friend button next to their name.īack to the Chivalry 2 Social section, you can click a friend’s name and there should be an “Invite to Party” button below their name on the right. Here you can type your friend’s username into the search bar that says, “Search or add players”. If you already have them added, skip the next paragraph.Īdding friends on EGS isn’t too difficult, all you need to do is go to the “Home” page and you’ll see a friends list on the right side. If you haven’t added a friend yet, you’ll need to do this first in the Epic Games Store launcher. Both buttons lead to the exact same window where you’ll see friends currently playing Chivalry 2. You can either click the “Invite Party Members” button near the bottom left corner or click the “Social” button at the bottom right instead.

Even though the new cross-platform parties in beta may have new problems of their own. It’s likely not needed anymore if you’re playing on the same platform. But, if you’re still not sure how to invite friends to your party we’re here to help.įair warning, the bug fix mentioned near the bottom of this guide is specifically for those playing on PC and isn’t guaranteed to work.
