Unable to invite players during play session

    Hi

    I seem to be having trouble inviting players mid play session. This has happened to multiple different players. I am able to invite players at title/set sail screen, but mid session the "invite to game" is greyed out on the xbox game bar overlay.

    This happened again last session I was playing with a player. He had to quit. Immediately after him leaving I was able to invite a player (the "invite to game" was available), but when I went to invite someone maybe 30 minutes later it was unavailable as well.

    While the "invite to game" is unavailable people cannot join my game session either. This has prevented a friend from joining me mid game session and I had to sell and restart a new session. I can join other peoples games no problem.

    I have played for many years and have not faced this issue before. I play on Computer through Xbox (microsoft store).

    Any thoughts how to fix??

    Not a solution, but perhaps workarounds:

    a) Invite via gamebar win+G (right click your friend - game - invite)
    b) If you play on guild ship, your friends can join via guild/ships menu when they start their game - no need to invite them

    1st up, make sure you are aware that the 'crash leniency timer' exists.

    When a player disconnects from your boat in a non-graceful manner, (crashing, force closing, alt-f4) they have a 5-10m timer where their slot is reserved for them.

    During this period, they will appear on the loading screen either greyed out or red (if I recall correctly) and will still show up in the My Crew list in the menu as normal.

    ===

    If you are CERTAIN you are not running into this timer, then you are likely encountering a newly reported bug in the GDK build.

    The status of if a crew is joinable has been getting out of sync, I believe it's diving related, but I've been having troubles tracking it down. I've found no fix for it, and have had to restart lobbies frustratingly a few times.

    @reverent-talon alt+f4 works, then you can invite others but yes this is another new bug to the collection

    The issue should be resolved now.
    Please raise a Support Ticket if you encounter it again.
    I will close this topic for now.
