I have twice tried to invite a player with valid invite code.  
Says they don’t exist.  
Anyone else having this issue?

If you have copied and pasted the name, check you don’t have an invisible “space” character at either the front or the back as that will cause a problem (as I have found out).

Of course it’s not rocket science for the devs to add a short bit of code to the checking routine to strip out unneeded spaces…

Easiest way is to just get them to say something in global chat, and you can invite them directly from there.

Thanks for the suggestions.  
I managed to get one invited.  
The other is invalid, it was checked by support and does not exist, may be a case of the player needing to recover their account.
