Feature Request - Steam Invite to game.
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

So I recently bought ARMA 3 Alpha for my friend on Steam so that we could play together. We tried looking for the same servers but we couldn't get the same ones in our lists (We even filtered for the same host.) So I tried to invite him to my game through Steam, he got the invite but when he tried to join it said "Game status is unavailable." I tried joining him through an invite and it displays "Join" for a split second then the join option disappears. It would be nice if this feature worked so that my friend and I could enjoy ARMA 3 together.

It would be very nice indeed, i'm not sure if it requires a lot of work from valve or BIS, but it's one of these little things i like with some steam games.
