Social

  • Fixed a bug where the join party button would still be active even though the party invite was no longer valid.

  • Fixed a bug where scrolling the social panel would sometimes scroll other UI elements like the Agent carousel.
  • Fixed a bug where the friends list was obscured when auto-reject friend requests was enabled.
