Refresh timing
Wait a short moment before refreshing the public room list. Repeated refreshes make it harder to tell whether discovery is slow or actually failing.

Quick Answer
If public rooms are not showing in Meccha Chameleon, wait briefly, refresh once, restart Steam, remove VPN routing, and test a direct friend invite to separate discovery from connectivity.

Region and routing
Disable VPN, proxy, or unusual routing while testing. Public room lists are easier to debug when Steam and the game see a normal network path.
Private invite control
Ask a friend to host and send a direct Steam invite. If that works, the problem is probably public room discovery rather than the full multiplayer stack.
When to check community
If multiple players see empty lists after updates and restarts, check Steam Community for launch-week server, token, or room visibility reports.
Fix checklist
Problem: A public room exists, but your friend or other players cannot see it.
- Confirm the room is actually public and not private/friends-only.
- Have every player restart Steam and the game after a patch so lobby versions match.
- Change host once; if the second host appears, the issue is likely host networking or region routing.
- Avoid VPN during room discovery because it can place players into different routing buckets.
- Post the room visibility issue to Steam Discussions with build, region, and steps if it repeats.
- Restart Steam and confirm both players are on the same game build.
- Use Steam invite first, then test public room discovery second.
- Disable VPN or region routing if public rooms fail to refresh.
- Verify game files after any version mismatch or connection loop.
- Check Steam Community announcements before assuming a local issue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are public rooms not showing? +
Public discovery can be affected by refresh timing, region routing, server load, version mismatch, or a Steam client that needs a restart.
Should I spam refresh? +
No. Wait 10-20 seconds, refresh once, and use a friend invite as a control test before assuming the server list is broken.
Can VPNs hide rooms? +
Yes. VPN or proxy routing can change region assumptions and make room discovery less reliable.
How do I know if servers are down? +
Check Steam Community discussions and try a direct invite. If invites also fail for multiple players, it may be broader than public discovery.
