Ok yesterday i was getting an error message while trying to invite friends into my games , i kept getting a message saying something like > a patch is required to continue.

now today no one is showing in my friends & invites list ? anyone got a clue whats going on because so far i have not been able to play a single game online with any of my online friends , its a bit disappointing really seeing how much i paid for the game

Same hers, I bet there working on a patch as we speak to fix this issue, but in the meantime, I think we have no choice to play with complete strangers.
