Can't join games or invite friends

    I play Sea of Thieves on the Microsoft Store version and it happens quite often where I can't join an ongoing game nor invite someone to my game. Both the options in the Xbox game bar are greyed out.

    I have tried restarting Xbox, Sea of Thieves, my PC, etc. but to no avail. Sometimes I just can invite and join, and sometimes I just can't. Is there anything that could be causing this?

    Edit: I can apparently join games that haven't started yet, so in the assemble crew screen. I can't manually join because that gives me Beardnikbeard error. Only works through invite

    I've been complaining and have filed a support ticket 8 days ago it doesn't seem like they care about this issue lol check the status page it says everything is running great no issues I beg to differ. When ya have pirates that cannot even start a ship up on the Series X the status is not everything is fine. I bet you will hear the sound of crickets from support like I. GL fellow pirate!

    I have the same issue since at least the last season. Unable to invite while in a game using the Game Bar, nor to join someone that way. What a shame that this is the only way to join/invite someone.

    Hello, It's the same for me, and it's been going on for years. I'm getting back into the game after a long break to play with a friend whom I convinced to buy the game, and it's impossible to invite each other. In 2024, after all this time, it's a disgrace! Spending money and not even being able to enjoy the game with friends is unbelievable. There have been no improvements, very frustrating, very annoying, and really, really disappointed. PS: Considering I'm a huge fan of the game, I love this game, but this makes me want to uninstall it. It happens way too often.

    Since the new update I have the same problem on the Microsoft store version.

    If I leave and rejoin the session then I can invite my friends for a few minutes.
