Re: Online friends and club members not showing

@samec3709 

Let's try a few things to see if we can help stop this from happening. 

A good place to start would be with the basic and advanced connectivity steps from the EA Help website. If you're still having any problems with your friends list after that please let me know. Thanks!

  • None of these seemed to work. It's cross platform friends haven't been showing for a couple seasons now. The only way I can see my PS4 friends in the lobby or if they're in my club is if I switch to the PS4 version.

    Thank you for giving it a shot!

    Do remember if you ever unlinked any platform accounts from your EA Account?

    Got it, thanks! 

    Just to confirm, do you currently have cross-play enabled in your account privacy options?

    Gotcha, thank you!

    Could we try setting a different DNS on your PS4 to see if that helps? I've seen some cases where that can make a difference with similar issues. 

    You can change the DNS on your PS4 using the steps below: 

    1. Open the PS4 Settings and go to Network 
    2. Select Set Up Internet Connection 
    3. Choose Wi-Fi or LAN Cable depending on how your console is connected to the internet 
    4. Select Custom 
    5. Choose Automatic under IP Address Settings 
    6. Choose Do Not Specify under DHCP Host Name 
    7. Select Manual under DNS Settings 
    8. Enter 8.8.8.8 as the Primary DNS and 8.8.4.4 as the Secondary DNS. This is the public Google DNS, but I’ve also seen some people mention that using the public Cloudflare DNS has helped (Primary DNS: 1.1.1.1).  
    9. Select Next 
    10. Choose Automatic under MTU Settings 
    11. Select Do Not Use under Proxy Server 
    12. Select Test Internet Connection to confirm the changes and make sure you can connect. 

    Let me know if you're still having the same issues afterward. Thanks again.

  • I use those settings. I had them on my PS4 and now PS5. I think it changed during an update a while back. I'm not the only one with the issue. 

  • @EA_Kent I've gone through this thread and tried to do all of the same steps as well, and the issue persists both in the game as well as in the Origin Launcher and the EA Desktop App. I've gone so far as to reinstall Windows and even get a new router, but nothing has worked.

    Thank you for the info!

    We've seen some other similar reports coming in recently. We'll continue passing these along as we see them. 

  • I am having the same issue. I have reached out to EA and they told me it was a update problem but I am on PC and have had this issue for a long time now!!

  • I have this problem also we can send friend req to each other but we can not see each other in the fdiends menu
