Completely rewrote inviting friends to games
June 22, 2026
Hello players,
I finally got around to rewriting the inviting friends to games, thanks to everyone who kept bubbling this one up
What is new,
There is now a proper decline. alt+A or Command+A will now give you a prompt. Saying yes will gracefully switch your game, and put you in the game with your friend. Saying no will actually tell them, instead of leaving them wondering like a horrible friend. Doing nothing, like always will actually decline after 60 seconds.
Things that should feel better.
You can no longer get stuck in a main menu loop after joining a
friends game across different game servers. The old version
sometimes left people sitting in a main menu prompt at the same
time as being in a game.
Old invitations that were never used will not pile up forever in
the background. The system now cleans them up several different
ways so the invitation list stays accurate.
If your friend leaves their game after sending you an invite but
before you accept it, you will get a clear message that the game is
no longer joinable, instead of a confusing error.
You can decline an invitation cleanly. Saying No tells your friend
that you declined so they are not left wondering.
Please feel free to test this out, and let me know of any bugs. I hope everyone enjoys the new system!
