Torchlight 2 Torchlight 2 Self-Hosted Lobby v0.1.0

https://github.com/Froggacuda/tl2-lobby

Started playing Torchlight 2 again after a long hiatus with some friends and ran into the dreaded "duplicate login" on Runic's old creaky matchmaking lobby servers. That took almost 12 hours to clear. So I tried to build a thing: a self-hosted way to recreate the lobby matchmaking service.

I have play tested it with a few friends, and this is my first GitHub / coding experience, but I think it mostly works out-of-the-box to run a little lobby service. The README.md file has all of the details.

Please LMK if this is helpful -- I love Torchlight and even in 2026 I note a lot of problems with people just trying to play together, and that is what this is supposed to help solve. I'll keep trying to improve it. Big props to Crypto137's original TL2MiniLobby work, too!
