Parties
● PC – Fixed an issue with online presence not updating properly which prevented players from joining and getting into games as a party. For example, if a player is invited to join a party but is already in one, you will receive a message stating ‘ is already in a party. We expect more improvements in the next update as well.
● Fixed an issue where parties dropped out after a match ended and were unintentionally sent back to the main menu
● Added a visual indicator that someone in a party cannot be invited to another party
● PC – If you are in a match and accept a party invite on PC, you will now be sent to the main menu to join the party
