So I've been doing massacre missions with my friend up until about 2 days ago when our wing invites just stopped going thru, we tried signing out and signing back in, joining open play, he even started his own private group and invited me and it still wouldn't work, we would meet up and the same star port or fleet carrier but we wouldn't even be able to physically see each other. It still shows us each other on the comms panel and shows us as 0.00ly away from each other. I don't know what else to do, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Can't wing invite my friend anymore, please help.

Welcome to "Normal" service for many players...
This is the Norm other players always had... it working incorrectly was the "normal" player matching service
getting multi crew or wings to work was a bonus many many users just got "issues" with P2P code...
Its likely unfixable the user end... after power cycling routers it will require third party outside networks to reset back to giving the correct status to allow the instancing to put the users in the same player hosted instance...

Thats sad and horrible at the same time, I just wanna do massacre missions with my friend lol
Does DMs mean direct messaging him? I will def try all this tonight! Thank you so much for the tips! And if ur a fuel rat thank you for all the help u guys provide to stranded players in the universe!
Were you by any chance both onboard the same Carrier when you loaded your games? There was a bug with this recently, and you could work around it by both supercruising away and back, then like magic you’d both see each other and work flawlessly rest of the session. (this was fixed for me in Update 14).
Worth trying the supercruise thing anyway.
If it’s not that, i feel your pain. I used to have all sorts of problems & no amount of port forwarding, upnp, all the suggestions worked. Eventually when i got more bandwidth (and changed ISP) it magically came right.
The initial time it happened we weren't but we did log out on while docked on the same carrier and logged back in to see if it would correct the issue. I'm going to try all of the suggestions hopefully later tonight. I hope one of them fixes the issue. I really enjoyed playing this game but I won't wanna play it if I can't play with my friends.
it can be messed up by others being around too, but aside from that
I am always winging up for bounty hunting
it goes poof often, mostly thanks to another cmdr cruising into the instance
but all I do every time, is both leave the station or carrier we are at, stop 7-8km out and look for each other.
should be around 1km apart if not visible immediately or at all
make sure Team is on, mine has actually gone to off all by itself, several times.
if still not visible fine, make a team join request and see if that works.
if nothing, log off 1, exit launcher and retry
sometimes both have to logout and close the launcher and retry but usually just one does the job.
once winged I like to make sure we can see each others ships just to make sure its seems like a good connect before going into sc to go anywhere..
