Some friends including myself have been having a very unusual problem.
In Main Menu, my friends tab never have “Join” button even when they’re open for public or friends like this.
Steps to Reproduce
This started happening 2-3 days ago and stayed that way since then. I’m not sure what caused it Also, [Invite to Play] + [Join Game] via Steam’s friends list doesn’t always work. You gotta join your friends via Tower Unite’ in-game board.
What I expected to happen
I expect friends tab to show up with Join Game button like before
What happened
Join button never shows up on all friends that is currently playing Tower Unite.
I’ve tried resetting game, Steam, and even verifying files; nothing helped. It doesn’t affect everyone for some reason so i am wondering if it depends on where people live? Honestly, not sure
I may have another cause of this issue. Whenever I close Tower, Steam stills considers it open somehow. I have to either force closing TU from Steam directly or I have to kill a process that is related to UE.
We probably see our friends that way in TU menu because TU isn’t completely “closing”.
We haven’t made any major changes to the Steam rich presence feature, for some users it works and for others it does not. At the moment, without any more information on the issue, I believe this to be an issue with Steam. I’ll investigate it more.
Here’s some more information; if online friends on Tower Unite invites you to their game via Steam; that same friend will (sometimes) have “JOIN” button shows up afterward on friends tab in Tower Unite
