Method 2: Use a Gaming Bootser (LagZapper Recommended)
First, unify your Steam Download Region as in Method 1 to ensure you can find each other’s rooms. Then launch LagZapper and select a node in the same or nearest region as your friend. This will significantly reduce latency and disconnections in cross‑region connections. LagZapper is purpose‑built for Steam multiplayer – one‑click smart routing and stable performance. Enjoy the new DLC with your crew, lag‑free.
