So, You Want to Roller Champions Cross-Platform, Huh?
Let's talk about inviting friends to the glorious arena of Roller Champions, shall we? It's surprisingly… a thing. Not always smooth sailing, is it?
First, the obvious. Make sure everyone is actually playing on a compatible platform. No, your toaster oven isn’t going to cut it, no matter how many times you yell at it.
The Ubisoft Connect Conundrum
Ah, Ubisoft Connect. Our beloved/frustrating gatekeeper. Make sure you're all friends on this platform. This is non-negotiable, folks. It’s the bouncer at the Roller Champions party.
Go to the Ubisoft Connect overlay in-game. The button varies depending on your device. But it's there, lurking.
Find your friend's name. Click it. Send an invite. Hope they accept before you accidentally skate into a wall.
The "I Sent It, But Did They Get It?" Game
This is my personal favorite. You sent the invite. You're sure of it. Your friend swears they didn't receive it.
Classic. Maybe it's stuck in the digital mailroom. Maybe your friend is secretly a ninja dodging digital projectiles.
My unpopular opinion: blame the hamsters running the Ubisoft servers. They probably need a nap. Or tiny roller skates.
The Private Match Solution (Maybe)
Private matches are your friend. Or at least, they *should* be your friend. Creating a private match lets you control the guest list.
Set up the match. Share the code. Pray everyone can join without incident. It’s like planning a wedding, but with more roller skates and less cake.
Still, sometimes the code just… doesn't work. Blame the hamsters, again. It’s always the hamsters.
Platform Settings: The Hidden Culprit
Don't forget those pesky platform-level privacy settings. Your friend might have accidentally set their account to "invisible to all humans."
Tell them to double-check their settings on their respective platforms. PSN, Xbox Live, whatever they're using. Ensure they're open to receiving invites from friends.
It's surprising how often this is the problem. It's like hiding under a digital rock and wondering why no one can find you.
The "Just Restart Everything" Hail Mary
When all else fails, there's always the classic "restart everything" approach. Restart the game. Restart the console. Restart your router.
Basically, perform a digital exorcism on your setup. Sometimes, it works. Sometimes, it doesn't. But hey, you tried.
This is basically tech support in a nutshell, isn't it? Unplug it. Plug it back in. Miracle achieved.
My (Probably Wrong) Conclusion
Inviting friends cross-platform on Roller Champions can feel like a Herculean task. A task usually solved by making sure everyone is connected on Ubisoft Connect.
It might involve patience, perseverance, and a healthy dose of blaming the hamsters. But hey, when it finally works, it's all worth it.
Now go forth and skate with your friends! Or at least, try to. Good luck. You'll need it.
