[Bifrost] After loading a coop save, I can't invite my friend using the invite button (code works)
Description:
I encountered a critical issue after a recent patch. I cannot load my old save game in Bifrost mode. Here are the details:
1. Game Mode: Bifrost
2. Operating System: Windows
3. Graphics API: DirectX
4. Issue Description:
- The save game I created on 07.01.2025 is no longer accessible when I try to load it on 10.01.2025, after a small patch was applied.
- The main problem is that I am unable to:
- Add friends to the game.
- Open slots for additional players.
- Start the game.
5. Screenshot/Video:
- Screenshot showing the issue is attached to this report.
6. Map Seed:
- Unfortunately, I cannot provide the seed, as I am unable to load the save game.
7. Save File Path:
- Save file location:
`W:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Nor

Loktheghon MergedWhen trying to resume a multiplayer Bifrost, since the Jan 9th patch, the host can load into the lobby but all the player slots are set to private and cannot be opened by any means we can find.
Steam invites and invite codes also do not work
So currently it seems impossible to continue a saved bifrost multiplayer run.
Have not yet checked if fresh saves are similarly broken
Here is a link to a redit discussion of the bug
