Unable to join my friend on a crew after invited to game.

  • A friend of mine has been trying to invite me to his crew for the past like 30 minuets and we have tried EVERYTHING to make it work. Steam invites come through but when I accept, nothing happens. Couldn't join through XBOX bar either. This has currently happened after I updated my game for season 9. He was able to have a friend join his crew but I am unable to join. My account is also connected and I have been able to join him in the past.

    Is there something we are missing?

    question
  • Is there any chance that when you tried to join him, someone has just left his crew and you tried to take that spot? And then that same player rejoined the crew to confirm he can join back?

  • @zig-zag-ltu He was with someone on a sloop, that friend left to join another and I was going to take his place. No one else joined him in this time.

  • @zig-zag-ltu The other thing we JUST thought of was that the server could have possibly been full at the time. I just was able to join my friend after he moved to a different server.

    Gotta wait 10 minutes because the person that left quit the game instead of choosing "leave game"

    Also be sure you and your friend have console/controller preferred if either one of you are playing on PC.

  • @crazychik996 I am not sure how this works exactly on Xbox (But it happens as well)

    But if you don't leave the game properly on PC, the server still keeps your spot for X amount of time( I think 15mins) for you to rejoin. If you lost internet connection for example or had a power cut.

    I constantly do this when the shop leaves me stuck with ''counting your coins'' and I can rejoin and reclaim my captaincy without issues.

    If you guys are playing on PC, tell your friend to ask his mate to press Escape and leave game, instead of Alt +f4. This will certainly solve your problem. If you guys are on Xbox, I'm sure someone will give you some advise here as well.

    @PithyRumble Yes! She is right. Forgot about that one. If for example you are on PC and your friend is on Xbox and he has that option enabled, you won't be able to join his crew until he changes it, for which you need to restart your session as far as I know.
