Check versions

Players need matching first and second version numbers. The third number may differ. Update before troubleshooting older behavior, but do not assume every failure is a patch mismatch.

Try a Join Code

If a friend game does not appear, use the current session's Join Code. Mac App Store players need this method because that build lacks Game Center friends-list support.
