A: Not right now, they're being looked into. Give it time. Possibly a lot of time, don't ask for an ETA.
+### Q: I'm trying to invite a friend via Steam/Origin but they cannot join me?
+
+A: Due to the way Northstar works, you sadly cannot just create a private match and invite a friend via Steam/Origin. Instead you'll have to host a server.
+
+Check the prerequisites:

+[prerequisites.md](hosting-a-server-with-northstar/prerequisites.md)
+{% endcontent-ref %}

+and instructions to host a _listen server_:

### Q: Can I use Northstar to play singleplayer?
A: No single player is not supported at the moment, so you'll need to use the vanilla client. A [co-op single player mod is planned](https://github.com/R2Northstar/NorthstarMods/tree/main/Northstar.Coop) but development is currently halted in favour of focussing on multiplayer content.
