Game Voice: Player with Revoked Invitation Can Still Enter Invite Only Chat Session (268301)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft SideWinder Game Voice

This article was previously published under Q268301

SYMPTOMS

When you use the Microsoft SideWinder Game Voice to invite a player into an "Invite Only" chat session and then eject that player before the player accepts the invitation, the player can still enter the chat session by accepting the now voided invitation.

In addition, the player may be able to add the host of the chat session as a contact, and then click the host's chat session in the chat session list to join the chat session.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, block the player from the chat session after you eject the player.

To block a player, right-click the name of the player in the Game Voice Chat window, and then click Block.

When you block a player from a chat session, the player cannot enter the chat session until you invite the player to join the session again.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft SideWinder Game Voice, version 1.0.
