Since Monday 31st August, after playing for a while, The game and website become desynced with each other, When I’m on the website, It says I’ll have like 16 friends online but when I’m in game, It will say I have 12 friends online from when I’ve first joined.

It will show me players who are still online but I know they’re offline and it doesn’t update. And my invites don’t come through in game, I know I’m getting invites cause the website tells me someone has requested to join me or sent me an invite to join their world, but I’m not getting them in the game itself, it’s not until I restart the game I get invites but even then after a little while, It desyncs again. Any advice or help?
