[BUG] Star Wars Battlefront: Some friends are not detected in the game

Basically you add a friend, they accept it - everything shows up right on Origin but not in the game. It doesn't even detect they're a friend (no highlight on the playerlist when you join). They're not detected at all. The website and the companion app shows similar "symptoms".

It's a workaround to remove them then the they should send an invite. I currently have 2 players on my friendlist with this bug.
