Inviting a friend from the main menu or the pause menu now actually reaches them, and joining works as expected. This is the fix for the invites that quietly went nowhere.
One friends panel, shared by the main menu and the pause menu
Each friend row tells you whether the invite was sent or what went wrong
The list shows when it is loading, when it is empty, and offers Retry if Steam does not answer
Updated the AI spawners so zeeks and other enemies now don't respawn for a much longer time after you kill them.
If the game crashes, it now reports itself. The technical details are captured automatically, and a crash window lets you say what you were doing when it happened.
Your hardware, graphics driver, settings, and roughly where you were in the world
The last stretch of log leading up to the problem
It does not include your Steam account, email, Windows username, or computer name.
