Friends are shown as offline - Invites aren't received - Lobby can't be found

Hi,

I’m encountering this weird situation where my online friends aren’t shown online. This wasn’t a big issue, as the invites could be send to them- even when shown offline. However, since tonight, the invites aren’t coming through anymore. Making a public lobby didn’t resolve the issue, as the lobby couldn’t be found in the lobby overview.

To make it weirder. Earlier tonight we were able to start up a lobby and play a game. Our 4th friend joined (which we have played with yesterday) and then the issue started.

I’m playing on pc, through the xbox platform. My friends all play on Xbox.

Anyone else encountered this? If so, is there a fix known?

Yep! Having this exact issue, we played one game together and upon trying to create a new lobby were no longer able to receive invites.

Can’t even send invites through the xbox interface either as its greyed out.

You may have problems joining multiplayer games, or finding other players.

When you create a custom multiplayer game on console and try to invite friends to appear as offline, when they’re online and game invites don’t come out of the Xbox one console.

Also it doesn’t leave you the option to send a game invite from outside the game. appears in gray, (the other player owns a copy of the game)
