Description

If the servers restart mid-game play, if you get booted, etc... something is thrown off with XBOX. The ability to "Invite to Game" is greyed out with friends/party, as well as "Join Game" is greyed out when you highlight your friends.

To fix this, you have to terminate the game on XBOX (Go to Xbox Menu --> Highlight DayZ --> Menu Button --> Quit).

Restart the game, join a server, and it all comes back. As you hop between servers on your own (using Menu --> Exit in DayZ) it remains working. But once you get booted or a server reboots, it greys it all out.

Severity: Minor
Resolution: Open
Reproducibility: N/A
Operating System: Windows 7
Category: General

Steps To Reproduce

Start a party in XBOX with friends in it playing DayZ
When you (as the host) join a server, invite the party to the game
Play until servers restart/crash
When you join a new server, try to re-invite the party and you'll find it greyed out

These are the steps I noticed last night that seemed to cause it. May not be 100% accurate to the cause, but seems to be the case. That, or just long game-play times out the "invite to game" (since reboots are typically an hour+ away on average).

Additional Information

I am on XBOX One X

To add more notes to this. If I log-off of a server and join a new one, my friends can't join on me and I Can't invite. XBOX doesn't seem to know when I join a server after the 1st try. The workaround is I just terminate the app in XBOX each time I change servers. If I do that, join a server, I can then invite/have people join on me. Mild annoyance, but one I recommend looking into.
