When my friends try to accept my invite to play, it says they need to "leave their current party" despite being alone and not in a party. This is am existing issue since Year 7, so I don't know where this came from. My friends then need to quit the game and relaunch multiple times until it eventually works. This game is approaching a decade old. How are there new networking issues appearing? I dread to learn what the status of other Ubisoft online game are.
Also, my friends are appearing offline on UPLAY despite clearly being online and connected to the internet - we are talking on Discord (because in-game chat is terrible).
In addition, my friends can't accept my join game invites anyway. They get the invite notification, and when they accept, they don't leave their personal lobby... It's like new networking issue after new networking issue.
