"This game is no longer available to join"

Bug Report
1

As of 15 minutes ago me, my friends and some other people in the public lobbies can’t join their respective friends in games anymore, nor can their friends join them. Weirdly enough if for example I join a public game, my friends cant join that game anymore and vice versa.

Error message: “This game is no longer available to join. Please try joining another game.”

I’m having the same exact problem trying to join games with my friends.
“This game is no longer available to join. Please try joining another game.” Started about 10 minutes prior to my reply here.

Same issue here. We were in the middle of playing, a friend got booted, then when we try to rejoin each others games we get the error.

I am having the same issue as well. Had a friend fly up from Dallas to Idaho just to play with us and we’ve slammed into error after error. Please help :frowning:

Yep this is a problem for me aswell

Same problem here - I can join one friend’s game but not some others. Any solutions?

Same issues plagued my group. We found that it could be resolved by ALL players restarting their D2R client. Seems like some sort of server/cache issue?

I’m having the same issue. It’s so frustrating.

“This Game is no longer available to join. Please try joining another game.”

WTF

I’ve tried:

  • Playing a game (skipping the lobby) and opening a chat and inviting my friend to join my game
  • Going to the lobby and creating a game with a password then giving those details to my friend
  • Having my friend start playing a game and then I start playing a separate game and then going into the chat and selecting the “join game” option to join my friend’s game

The problem was resolved for us after me and all of my friends restarted our Diablo clients. We each experienced one crash in this process. Once our clients had been restarted we could all join the same game.

I had the same issue.

Still an issue. Both my wife and I are getting this no matter how many games we create and the other tries to join.

We both restarted out games several times as we attempted different ways of creating games (from the main menu, and from the lobby)
