It’s a bug if you check the versions on Bnet and they match. In that case, report in #bug-report

im getting the same issue. we both waited like an hour to get into the game and now it says we’re on different versions? client versions are the same.

I was having the same problem, but my friend was able to invite me to a custom game. They unfriended me and invited me using recent players, it’s tedious but it works for now.

Hey guys! I’m having this bug as well. However… I figured out a way to bypass it for now - without having to remove a friend from your friends list. You can manually type: /invite playername, and it’ll fill out your friends # tag at the end (if it doesn’t you can type it). That works for me. Hope this helps the rest of you!#

Hey yall!!! just letting you know i found another fix!!! have your friends logout then log back in, as they are logging in you will have a moment of being able to invite them. it just worked for me and my 5 man!!

Restarted my pc and came back, I was logging in when my friend invited me so the reply above this one may have been the solution

Seems you can invite friends from the chat dialog as well.

i found a fix for anybody struggling!
dont restart your game or u might get stuck with errors again!
i found out u can still invite your friends if you type ’ /invite [NAME OF UR FRIEND] ’ in chat.
hope this helps!

No problem. The dev posting it was a bug made me wonder if the invite command would work or not, so I tested it out and was happy to see that it did. Glad it helped!
