All of my friends cannot see eachother online. Sometimes one of us is lucky and can actually be seen online, however if you're "invisible" you cannot send invites, get uPlay notifications of any sort, or do much of anything except solo queue.
What is "invisible"? This is when you sign into uPlay, you're actually flagged as "online" and can be seen in the sub menu of Siege as online. Your indicator on uPlay (around your profile picture) will actually be set to "invisible". Setting this to anything will do nothing at all. When a friend goes to send you a message you will be noted as "invisible" regardless of status, unless you actually set it to "invisible" (appear offline) then your status will be set to offline, which is really weird by itself. Typically you know if you're impacted by this bug if you sign into uPlay and automatically set to appear offline.
Another sign that you're impacted, in the overlay in game, if you go to the top left tab for your profile overview, you'll have an "online status" and that will be marked as "invisible" and you cannot change it despite trying.
Things I have tried:
Reinstalling uPlayReinstalling SiegeJoining then leaving a gameChecking Siege filesWiping all temporary files from uPlay and reinstallingLiterally cloning my drive (working uPlay, OS and all) and giving it to my friend to see if he can sign in as online, still cannot.Signing into other accounts on machines it's working on
Bottom line:
This is a server side issue that needs resolving ASAP. The only work around was disabled (open party to join) for whatever reason. This is a failure of a product and platform. I am open to any suggestions, but I have a strong feeling nothing will work, because as I've said, I have basically confirmed this is a server side issue.
