They updated the game to use epic online services in latest update in Steam, downgrade to the previous version via the Steam betas tab for this handler to work. Split-screen for the multiplayer mode. If you get server not available when selecting multiplayer, you just have to keep selecting multiplayer until one instance can enter, then you can invite others to a private game via the invite overlay.
