Also make sure that the host you selected for the game is on your Steam Friend list to make this process easier. You can also share your server name and let others join in if you wish to play with others. However, select one from the featured servers list if you want to dive in a random server.

If you are selected to host the game, you can select the difficulty rating of the server and place a limit of how many players you would want to have on your server. Remember, you can have up to 8 players on a single hosted server and limit that between two and eight.
