One or more of the privacy settings on your ea account may be limiting other pla

@l_mRGogoSame issue for me. This only started with season 9 launch what has changed in the settings or is this just a bug?

same here! what is this?

Yes I checked the EA Account> Privacy settings. It was open to everyone before Season 9, and so is it now. After providing the checks, I could not find a solution. That's why I opened a topic here.

Edit: screenshot added

Same thing here.  "Error" message appeared after I updated to Season 9.  Have made no changes to EA account settings, including to Privacy settings. 

I had this problem also 

I followed the steps of:

1) logging into your EA Account via web browser and then going to your profile (your Avatar icon top right of page) then clicking on "Account Settings")

2) Privacy Settings:

- Choose "Everyone"

- Allow other to see "Achievements"

- Allow all users to view my "Real Name"

NOTE: I followed all step prior and on Xbox still had warning. When I clicked to allow "Real Name" restarted Xbox APEX and logged in again, warning was gone and friends were visible.

- Allow users to search for me: (Check all devices)

Click on " Update" bottom right of screen

3) Email Preferences:

- Manage your email preferences

I click the "Yes, email me about EA products....."

- Frequency: I choose "Anytime"

Click on "Update" bottom right of screen.

P.S. Remember after saving to log out or quit your APEX game on your console and log back/load it up again.

P.P.S. For the "Real Name" in "About Me" I left that blank but I still allowed people to see it as it is blank.

Hope this helps someone.

This fixed it for me, thanks a bunch!

Works without setting the mailing preferences to yes as well 😉

you saved my life thank you 😭
