[1880] User Invites and Group Invites bugged
ひょなb
This bug seems to only happen with certain users. This may make it harder to reproduce by someone else. Neither of these happen on live, so I am certain that this is a beta bug.
First, the user invite bug:
This happens regardless of if the user is using green or orange status. Pressing ‘Request Invite’ will either be unable to select, or if it is, it will always say ‘Unable to request invite.’ regardless of the instance the user is in.
Second, the group invite bug:
Attempting to invite affected users to a Group+ or Group Public instance will result in the message: ‘Unable to send invite. User is not a member of this group.’ (the exact wording may be different, but hopefully this message is familiar.) OR ‘Unable to send invite.’ It is important to note that BOTH messages show regardless of if the user is, in fact, a member of the group or not.
I noticed this over multiple people, all with a different status mode and different group membership status. However, it didn’t happen with everyone. With some users, none of these bugs happen. I do not know what causes only certain people to be affected. It may be worth noting that I am using the Unity 6 beta, and I am unsure if the same behavior happens on the normal Open Beta.

Invite/Invite Request behavior for User who was just in the same instance is broken/inconsistent.
RuneFox237
When a user leaves the same instance you are currently in some invite functionality seems to break until the game registers that they are no longer in the same instance as you.
Note: recording and most testing for this was on the Open Beta branch where it seems to occur more often. I was able to reproduce parts of this behavior on the current Live build which is why this isn't specifically in the Open Beta category.
Steps:
- Have both users in the same instance.
- Have User 2 on orange so that user 1 needs to request an invite from them. (I had both users on orange for this testing so the steps may not be exactly the same if User 1 is not on Orange and is easily joinable)
- User 2 leaves the current instance to go to a new instance where they can accept and send invites.
- Have User 1 go to User 2's profile to request an invite from user 2.
- User 1 may not be able to see the 'request invite' button
- Have User 2 send an invite to User 1 and have User 1 decline that invite.
- Now have User 1 attempt to request an invite, it should now work.
Other Notes:
- User 1 viewing User 2 through the QM profile from the Friends wing while User 2 is in the new instance shows that the client still believes that User 2 is in the same instance as User 1. The Request Invite button says that the user is still in the instance. The Send Invite button incorrectly states that this user does not have the ability to invite users to this instance.
- User 1 viewing User 2 through the MM profile shows am active invite button even when the QM profile shows it's invite button as inactive.
- User 2 attempting to Request an Invite from User 1 while in the new instance will result in an 'unable to request invite' notification
- User 2 inviting User 1 seems to fix User 1's ability to send and request invites if User 1 declines the invitation.
- User 2 declining an invitation from User 1 fixes the 'unable to request invite' issue above.
- User 1's inability to request an invite from User 2 seems to persist as long as User 1 is in the initial instance User 2 left. If User 1 leaves to a new instance, they will be able to request an invite from user 2. If User 1 rejoins the initial instance they will again be unable to request an invite off of User 2.
- User 2's inability to request an invite from User 1 persists even if both users travel to new instances. The only way for User 2 to be able to request an invite from User 1 is for User 1 to send them an invite first and have User 2 decline it.

These issues are not exclusive to open-beta, and are also occurring on default main branch
Build 1867
rarely. I don't have exact steps to reproduce.The issue passes and resolves on its own after a few minutes in main branch, possibly after several attempts to reopen the menu.

WubTheCaptain For me, being on the Unity 6 beta, the issue persisted over an entire 8 hour session and over multiple sessions.

WubTheCaptain I made a canny for the user invite one based on my testing/observations. It does seem to resolve itself in a few minutes in most cases, though in one case I was unable to request an invite from a user for over 10 minutes was only able to request after I left the instance we were both originally in.
It also seemed to happen more consistently on the Beta. On live I'd sometimes be able to request on the other user right away.

Ran into something similar while on the open beta. A friend was in the same instance as me and left to go to an invite+ world. I could not see the request invite button until had I left the current instance I was in to my home world. There I tried requesting an invite and would get the small notifivation with text saying 'unable to send invite' . Weirdly, I was able to request an invite through vrcx so I assume doing so through the website would've likely also worked.

[1879] Unable to request invite on a user who left instance you are in
Pokéduel
I have a feeling this has already been reported, as this has been an issue for a long time but was you could work around it inside of the previous user profile main menu. however now, when a friend leaves an instance and i want to join them, I'm forced to go to a separate instance (like my home world), to join them. on the QM, it will just show Request and Send invite as grayed out. on MM, the user details page has only Send Invite, with no ability to request invite.
Expected behavior:
both Main Menu and Quick Menu to allow you to request invite and send invites (when applicable) to someone after they leave the instance you were in.
