Okay so I was playing a game, right? Everything was going smoothly. I then try and join a friend via invite link, but nothing happened. I try again and still nothing. The game told me to restart it, so I did. I was stuck in the loading screen for longer than usual. I had closed and re-opened the app too. Eventually, it worked. But my friends in my friends list had vanished. What. Is. Happening.
