Peak Lobby Fix

A BepInEx mod for PEAK that fixes Steam lobby join timing issues.

Problem

When joining PEAK through Steam lobby links (steam://joinlobby):

• The game immediately tries to join the lobby
• But Photon networking isn't connected yet
• Results in "Photon Room not found" error and infinite loops

Solution

This mod:

• Intercepts Steam lobby join attempts
• Waits for Photon to fully connect
• Automatically joins the lobby once ready
• Includes timeout protection (10 seconds)

Installation

Manual Installation

1. Make sure BepInEx is installed
2. Download the latest release
3. Extract to BepInEx/plugins/ folder
4. Launch PEAK

Features

• ✅ Fixes Steam lobby join timing issues
• ✅ Waits for Photon connection before joining
• ✅ Timeout protection (prevents infinite waiting)
• ✅ Detailed logging for troubleshooting
• ✅ Automatic retry system
• ✅ Compatible with other PEAK mods

How It Works

1. Detection: Monitors Steam lobby join requests
2. Validation: Checks if Photon is connected and authenticated
3. Delay: If not ready, delays the join attempt
4. Execution: Automatically joins when Photon is ready
5. Cleanup: Resets state after successful join

Technical Details

The mod uses Harmony patches to intercept:

• SteamLobbyHandler.TryJoinLobby() - Direct lobby join attempts
• SteamLobbyHandler.OnLobbyJoinRequested() - Steam callback joins
• NetworkConnector.OnConnectedToMaster() - Connection status tracking

Troubleshooting

Mod not working

• Ensure BepInEx is properly installed
• Check BepInEx/LogOutput.log for errors
• Verify mod is in BepInEx/plugins/ folder

Still can't join lobbies

• Check Photon connection status in logs

• 10-second timeout may have expired

• Try joining again after game fully loads

• Write me in discord: icetypes

Compatibility

This mod is compatible with other PEAK mods. It only affects lobby join timing.
