Creating a game for your buddies has not been so easy – until now! The latest version implements Steam P2P Networking which allows your friends to connect to your game without any hassle! No more port forwarding or unblocking! Start the game, share the join code or invite them in-game through Steam Overlay and let the fun begin!
We also enabled Steam Cloud synchronization so your precious game configs and taunts won't get lost!
A lot of our players use Discord, so we integrated Soldat with it! Your discord status will show on which server you are playing on, on what map and how much time is left! You can also invite others to join the server you're on.
