Warzone 2’s initially broken Social menu has seemingly been fixed as players can now invite friends to join their game without issue. Here’s how it’s done.

The newly released Warzone 2 was always going to launch with a few problems in tow, such is the nature of online games.

One issue especially troubling users early on was the Social menu, which allows players to check on their friends’ statuses and join games.

Throughout the first 24 hours, clicking on the Social tab kicked users back to Warzone 2’s main menu. While it was especially frustrating at the time, players soon uncovered a workaround before developers rolled out a proper fix.

Typically, inviting friends should prove a fairly simple process. When things work as intended, players should open the Social menu where friends will appear as either “Activision friends” or “friends on your current platform.”

Bringing in preferred teammates from other platforms requires users to perform the following tasks:

Open the Social tab
Click Invite Friends from the Friends tab
Got to Enter Activision Account to send an invite
Then, enter the friend’s Activision ID

Warzone 2’s Social menu was on the fritz for the first 24 hours.

The Warzone 2 hashtag on Twitter was filled with reports of the Social menu simply not working across launch day. While the issue has seemingly been resolved as of November 17, should the problem arise once again, there’s a fix that players can use to resolve the issue.

Those who want to invite friends must create select the “Channels” tab, create a channel, then have people join in.
