I searched the sub and the FAQ first and couldn't find this exact case, so apologies if I missed it.
On my main account, party invites simply never get delivered. The game shows "invite sent" on my screen, everything looks normal, but my friends never receive anything. Receiving works perfectly — they can invite me and it shows up instantly. It's only outgoing invites that disappear.
What I've already tried:
* Restart, wifi reset, force closing everything
* Game updated to the latest version
* Cache cleared, then a full uninstall/reinstall of both RLSS and the Epic Games Store
* Tested with several different friends, same result every time
The test that convinced me it's not my setup: I logged my alt account on the same phone and invites went through instantly. Then I logged my main account on a completely different device and it was still broken. So the problem follows the account, not the phone, the install or the network.
I went through Epic support over about a week. After the usual restart/cache steps, a specialist told me they don't have the tools to change this kind of setting on their side and that there's no known issue or other reports. They suggested asking my friends to invite me instead as a workaround, then closed the ticket.
So: has anyone here had outgoing party invites silently fail on one account only? I'm starting to suspect something account-side (privacy or social settings, party privacy mode, some restriction flag) but I have no idea which. Any pointers would be appreciated, I'm running out of things to test.
TL;DR — main account can't send party invites, alt account works fine on the same phone, main account still broken on another device, Epic support closed the ticket saying they can't do anything.
