My MK8DX game doesn't update its friend list automatically. That means, when one of my friends joins/opens a new room (eg for a CW) while I am online within the game, I can't join him because the friend list still says he's offline or playing in an old, extinct room which gives an error message when I try to join.
I've tried everything, waiting for a long amount of time, eaving the friend list screen, leaving the online mode... without success. The only thing that works is restarting the game, because that allows me to reconnect to the server to load an updated version of the friend list which includes the newly opened room I need to join. And because restarting the game takes a lot of time, I'm almost always the last one who joins the room, meaning I am the one who always has to start from the last position in the first race of a war.
What makes it even stranger is that a friend's Switch using the same connection as mine (except that it was dockless and used wifi while mine was, as always, docked and used LAN) updated the friend list automatically, while mine at the same time - wie wanted to join the same room for a CW - didn't update, so that I had to restart the game.
And on top of that, SSBU updates the friend list automatically, so it is an issue that only affects Mario Kart - oh, and it has an update button as well, but damn Nintendo forgot to add an update button to MK's friend list...
Does anyone else have that problem? If yes, how did you solve it? I really want to be able to join a CW without having to restart my game....
Did anyone else have such a weird problem that only affected his game but not other games?
Just to show you that my internet connection can't be the issue, here are the speedtest results:
