[Invite] [Family Share] Users in Family Share beta are marked as "Already Joined" despite not receiving an invite email

[ArtMattgeddon]

Description:
When inviting another user in your steam family to the deadlock playtest if that user then plays a family shared copy of the playtest the title's in game invite menu marks them as having "Already Joined" despite them not receiving or accepting an email invitation. The invited player is then still marked as not having access within steam and is shown a blue "Purchase" button on the game in the library tab of steam.

Note:
Having both accounts change their steam beta participation to none does not appear to impact or workaround this issue.

Repro Setup:
Two steam accounts both in the family share beta, one with Deadlock access and the other without.

Repro Steps:

1. Launch the title and navigate to the bottom right invite menu
2. Invite the other account in your family share beta family and close the title
3. On the account without playtest access
   1. Navigate to the steam library and play the family share copy of the title
   2. Play with multiple heroes in the sandbox mode for ~20-30 minutes (unsure if this step is necessary for repro)
   3. quit the title.
4. Back on the original account with access launch the title
5. Navigate to the bottom right invite menu and scroll to the "Already Joined" section and expand it

Expected:
Steam family share beta players are either given access when a family member has access or is given an email with an invite before being marked as already joined

Actual:
Steam family share beta players are marked as "Already Joined" while not having received an invite email or being granted their own access to the playtest

Hello! I am experiencing this exact issue. I have access through family share, showing the “Purchase” button when the family member is playing. I never received a notification nor email, and the “Invite your Friends” tab claims I have already joined. Before I played the first match through family share, the “Invite your Friends” tab would still allow people to invite me, but after the first match it switched to “already joined.” Cheers.

edit: My Steam profile.

Same issue here, if anyone who sees this is able to manually send out invites to the game. Please send it to https://steamcommunity.com/id/XTArcticWolf/. Thank you.

Let me also take a shot in the dark on if manual invites could be sent out and say that the person initially mentioned in this bug would really like an invite to the playtest for their account here

 

[bravusgray28]

i have this same issue too, patiently waiting for a solution

Update to Repro Steps
You don't even need to play any sandbox, simply launching the game from accounts without access will cause the error.

Yea same exact thing happened to me I hope they can fix it and give everyone the keys to the game.

I actually got an invite on my alt account but not my main, since its been like over 7 days. So I decided to family share to my main and now I'm reading about this. I really hope this doesn't mess with the invites, since I don't have it on my main.
