YAPYAP: How to Invite Friends
Playing YAPYAP with friends is handled through Steam, not an in game invite menu. To invite friends in YAPYAP, you must start a lobby and send an invite through the Steam overlay. There is no separate friend code or invite screen inside the game itself.
How To Invite Friends Step By Step
Start YAPYAP and load into the main hub. You do not need to begin a run first.
Once you are in the hub, press Shift plus Tab to open the Steam overlay. Open your friends list from there.
Right click the friend you want to invite and select Invite to Game. If they accept, they will join your lobby directly.
When Friends Can Join
Friends can join while you are in the hub. They cannot join once a run has already started.
If someone disconnects, they must be reinvited from the hub again. Mid run reconnects are not supported.
Common Invite Issues
If Invite to Game is greyed out, make sure:
You are online on Steam
Your friend is online on Steam
Both of you are running the same game version
If invites are not showing up, restarting the game or Steam usually fixes it.
Voice And Mic Reminder
YAPYAP relies heavily on voice input. Make sure everyone sets their microphone correctly before starting a run.
Bad mic setup causes spell casting issues and confusion fast, especially in co op.
Final Blurb
YAPYAP multiplayer is simple once you know where to look. There is no in game invite button, everything runs through Steam. Start in the hub, invite through the overlay, and only launch a run once everyone is inside. Fewer steps, less yelling, more chaos.
