Anyone else have this issue?
I have about 150 people on my XB1 friends list. Right now, my BO3 leaderboards & friendslist, only shows I have 61 people playing this game. Yeah, I'm sure not all 150 people got BO3. But I do know for certain around eight people are playing, but the game won't show them on my in-game menu. I can't find them. Hit the 'y' button to see party/friends/mostrecent, ...and I get nothing. They aren't there. Look on the leaderboards, they aren't there. All these people were a few days ago, but after one of the patches (I think), they disappeared.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? Anyone else see this?

PROBLEM SOLVED LAST NIGHT
Xbox One allows you as many friends as you want. The old XBL system cap of 100 friends is gone, and you can have 150, 200 or as many as you want (as far as I know)
Unfortunately, the wizards to be at Treyarch were caught off guard by this. The Call of Duty Black Ops 3 game engine and system files are still using the dated dinosaur engine from years ago, that is capped at 100 people. If your XB1 system friends list is greater than 100, the BO3 menu system breaks down. It will haphazardly start booting people from your in game friends list, so as to force things to 'fit' with the game. Nice huh? So yeah, some of your friends won't be on the 'Y' button search menu, and they won't be on the leaderboards. Annoyingly, you won't know they even exist or have the game. You can't find them nor even know they play the game. It's bizarre!!!! The only way you will even know they play BO3, is IF you are sitting there watching your friends list on the XB1. And who does that?
I went a whole week and didn't even know six of my past good CoD friends were even playing BO3.
....and thank you Treyarch. And a big special shout out to that knucklehead imbecile David Vanderharhar who to the best of my knowledge, hasn't even let people know this problem exists. I guess gun balancing is taking up all his time.
The fix? I could only find one thing to this. Delete friends. I dropped my XB1 friends list to under 100 people. Suddenly, everyone who is playing BO3, was now showing up in my in-game menu system.

It's crazy that this problem exists. What's even worse is that I find the in game list to be completely inaccurate. It shows people who aren't even online as in a game. I've resorted to only using the Playstation menus.

Issues like this just baffle me. It's like they released a totally unfinished game.
with that, on a side note. I have another issue.
I am still having a hell of a time figuring out what is going on with the leaderboards. My combat card shows like a total number of games, but then the career leaderboards show another different figure. And do these count the dozens and dozens and dozens of Games in Progress I have had? I am guessing it counts the 'Win' somewhere (at least I think it does?), but how does Treyarch's stat boards handle the GiP loss? I know it doesn't count the loss, but does it count it as a game?
And then there is the score per minute on the first combat card. These calculation seems off too.

You think that's bad? Check the SPM graph in the post-game report. For some gamemodes, I can't even figure out how they are coming up with those numbers.
Also, why does it always default to Arena when I go look at my stats?

Also, why does it always default to Arena when I go look at my stats? Yeah, I've noticed that too. I can't make any sense out of it. Nothing matches up on it. What's sad is this. This stats stuff isn't rocket science. If you can code a game to detect player movement from 12 different individual around the world to the 100 millisecond mark, ....you should be able to code some very basic 3rd grade math things on a leaderboard. I scored 4,000 points. The match was 10 min. My SpM is 400. Done. instead, I get a stupid bar graph that shows me results that say "SCORE PER MINUTE", then have scores that read like l,514 and 1,278 at the top of the graph. 1,278? Where? And an average of 1390? My SpM five game average isn't 1,390. That's impossible in Dom. But yet, there it is, right on my combat card (I'm reading these numbers right from a picture I took of the results). Doesn't make any sense.
