Bf2042 crossplay

My friend has a Xbox X and has downloaded a xbox X/s version of battlefield 2042. I have a PC and Xbox game pass. I’ve downloaded a game pass version which basically is ea version on pc( included in game pass). Now I’ve tried a million different things on the internet and have everything setup but my friend can’t add me as a friend ingame or my invites to his account don’t show up either. I am not sure what the issue is but there is no possible way to play together. Need support.

    Hi @HinduCommando The simplest things to do first would be to have your friend triple check the version they're running and that you both have crossplay enabled.

    We have checked everything. We’re both running compatible versions and if it’s game version it’s 6.1.0 for both. He’s running xbox x version and I am running a xbox gamepass pc version. There is really only one that pops up on xbox pc app. Not sure what the problem is here really

    @HinduCommando I'll see if I can replicate on my Series X this evening, and of there's anything I notice which could help.

    Yeah sure. You can try and add me as a friend. This is my user id for Xbox as well ofc. Thank you for your help!

    @HinduCommando I'm actually having the same problem as your friend. Can't find you at all. While I think it'll be the same, I'll send you a DM with mine so you can see what happens.

    Only other thing which is coming to mind at the moment is logging into your EA account and checking your privacy settings, to make sure everything is correct there.

    This indeed sounds like a very isolated 'privacy settings' issue, to be honest.

    We did find a solution. So I blocked him and saw what his EA user id is in the account ->blocked people settings and then unblocked him & sent him an EA friend request through EA app. Even then he didn’t get a friend request in the game. Now, we fired up Fifa24 on cloud gaming and that game gives you option to add EA friends and that’s how he added me as a friend. So now I am able to team up in BF2042 with my friend but ran into “Unable to load persistence data “ issue which is stupidest thing but I wish EA made it easier to play this crossplay without so many interlocks.
