The window to accept the invite opens but i can't click yes or no. 

Hey all,

Do you have the following enabled:

2. While in game, click on the plus sign at the main screen to go to your friends. Do you have Party Privacy on Open and Last Squad on Allow Invite?
3. Do you use any overlays like Discord when this is happening?
4. Have you tried repairing the game by right-clicking on it in Origin?

Thanks for answering!
But yes, I'm over with  this things already. Discord disabled, RTSS server too. Origin in-game enabled (doesn't work though). It sucks..
By the way, the Origin client has some missing msmpeg2vdec.dll problem too, despite of having all the mentioned dll-s installed on the PC. But that's another issue I think. Or not.
So boring...

It might be related to some third party programs which helped other players out here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Overlay-not-working-in-Apex/td-p/7427346

Are your PC clocks synchronized to the same timezone that you're living in?

Do you use any custom keybindings? Try resetting them back to default to see if that helps.

Hello! I have tried all of that, yes. Discord installed, tried removing/closing any application that has an overlay. Disabled ReLive as well. Repairing the game goes okay, but issue persists. I have tried internal and external drives for installation as well if that would make a difference (RA2 and Sims 2 don't run from an external in windows I learned). Clock is synced, attempted that as well. No custom keybindings, all vanilla.

Thanks for looking into it!

Have you performed a clean boot yet? This can help narrow down whether it's a program running in the background that's blocking the invites.
