Can’t Play With Friends and Unable to Invite in Gray Zone Warfare Fix

Currently, the servers seem to be bugged and aren’t handling such requests properly. Here are two things you can do to fix it:

  • Invite a Random: Try inviting some random player from a match then cancel the invite. Now invite your friends to your squad to see if it works. Thanks to player Peculiar Picard on Steam forums for sharing this solution, you can check their comment in this post here.
  • Leave the server: If the server is full you won’t be able to play together. You can leave the server and ask your friends to do the same. Once done rejoin another server as a group and try playing now. Thanks to Reddit user u/Doc_Whitney for this method, be sure to check their comment here.

That is all for how you can join or invite your friends in Gray Zone Warfare and fixes for when you aren’t able to play together. Since you are interested in this game you might also want to find out how to cure coughing, dizziness, and nausea.
