:play_button: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

When playing multiplayer, if being invited to a match after playing a match, the invite can bug out and not allow joining. It’s temperamental, and seems to be related to the game not refreshing the list of active lobbies when trying to add a player.

:play_button: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

  • 25% of the time / matches I play (SOMETIMES)

:play_button: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Play a match of AOE3 with a friend
  2. Have said friend invite you in-game to a new match
  3. Accept said match invite
  4. Your friend will observe you accepted the invite
  5. Observe the game does not bring you into the game
  6. Search for your friends game
  7. Attempt to join it
  8. Observe the game errors out
  9. Search for your friends game again
  10. Attempt to join it
  11. Observe you can now join it

:play_button: EXPECTED RESULT

Invites should bring you into the new match

In case mods may be related, I will attempt this tomorrow with no mods enabled. All my current active mods are map packs and two small cosmetic mods
