I think it might be the same game save, but not sure. Haven't discovered yet what the definition of 'same game' is. For now the issue is closed.įYI, if you choose to use a password, the game saves the password between sessions to the same game. I can understand the game not showing up in the list, but then of course invites should work. Generally, I would say that is the bug to fix. My conclusion is that Allow only friends SHOULD allow invites to work.

So thanks to the fine work by MeanGramma, my friend and I are playing. The game disappeared from the list and invite did not work. He change to Allow only friends - ON within the game. He sends me an invite, and it works fine.Ģb) I exited the game. Immediately the game appears in the list (as I am tapping Refresh while he does this). The host changes the game to Allow only friends - OFF.

This did not work (No connection could be established to the multiplayer game).Īt this point, I said, 'Hey, let's change the settings right within the game.' So we did.Ģa) Remain in the game. Started a new one with Allow only friends - ON (this wasn't necessary).Ģ) Allow only friends - ON. So we tested finding his game in the lobby and a direct invite. Then I exited the game and he sent me an invite. I was able to join and use the password before he even loaded. The moment he started it, it immediately became visible in the list. Here is what we did: ( TL DR Allow only friends needs to be off always)ġ) Allow only friends - OFF. Allow only friends is definitely the issue. I can confirm that this is the problem for me and my friends.
