Thank you for the answer but no didn’t have any luck, I think is a Xbox game bar problem, I ended up refunding and buying the game on the Microsoft store and it worked with the Microsoft version, there’s been a lot of issues with the steam version. thanks for the answer

    Hi HEMI

    I'm sorry to hear you're running into this!

    You can try the following and see if it helps with your situation:

    1. Repair or reset Xbox Game Bar Settings → Apps → Installed apps → Xbox Game Bar → Advanced options → click Repair, then Reset if needed.
    2. Reinstall Gaming Services
      • Open PowerShell as admin
      • Run: get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers
      • Restart and reinstall from Microsoft Store
    3. Update everything
      • Windows Update
      • Microsoft Store (Library → Get updates)
      • Xbox app / Game Bar
    4. Check for conflicts
      • Disable overlays (Discord, MSI Afterburner, etc.)
      • Ensure firewall is not blocking Game Bar services

    As a workaround, you can also try creating/joining LFG from the Xbox app instead of Game Bar.

    Hope this helps. Feel free to update here if anything comes up!
