Now he appears offline to me, even when he is in game. Not a deal breaker, but has this occurred to anyone else? I dropped him and adding him a few times, but to no avail. Thanks NT 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure how the friends list is stored but it might not reflect name changes on the server. Edited February 2, 2022 by Compassghost Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks NT Yes, I recently changed my user name and sure enough, some people like one of the Twitch streamers I play with at times, can't see me anymore when I'm online. She sees me in her contact list, but it shows me offline when I'm actually online. I have to invite her to a division and then transfer control to her, because she can't invite me from her end, because I appear offline, even though I am not offline.

This hasn't happened since i have changed Clans, but I don't know if that is a "fix" since this has been a recurring (but intermittent) issue for me. Guess I should send in a bug report!

175 AgentNut Members 234 posts 13,159 battles Report post #7 Posted February 15, 2022 I have the same problem. A new player I invited through the recruiting station. He'll appear offline to me even when he's online. If I go to the recruiting station I can see that he's Online, but in my friends list he appears offline. If he sends me a Division invite, I accept and then he'll appear online to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
