Friends auto invited to games

[ThyrusMF]

Hi,

Not played here a lot but have successfully played some games.
However, now when I try to create a game it auto tries to fill the slots with my friends which i obviously dont want it to do. Especially if i want to play a 2p game and it wont let me invite someone else because it states i`ve already invited 4 people!!

Any help on how to fix this please??

thanks

Came to ask related question -- new format auto invites, doesnt let you edit who to invite, or change the number of people for a game.

I can't get a game of 4 to play w/ my friend group cuz of the weirdness....ugh

Click on Play now at the top of the page and then choose Manual. That's the way (old lobby) you can set all possible options.

I just raised a bug about this, and it's most likely the same problem. In the old lobby, you may have selected friends to play with, and in the new lobby it carries them over. If you go to the old lobby as cigma mentions, then de-expand the "Play with friends" section.
