Can't invite EA friends

This happened whenever we would try to play Apex and now it's happening in Battlefield 2042. To be honest, crossplay is the main reason I would want to buy the game since my brother and cousin both play on PC while I play on Xbox Series S. We are friends on Origin and on Xbox. When I log into Origin on my PC, I can see that they are online. However none of us can search for each other (they can see each other but not me and I can't see either of them from Xbox) in Battlefield 2042 using EA ID's.

My EA ID: jimbojangles27

My Xbox gamertag: Jimbojangles27

My brother's EA ID: Wilbot2000

My cousin's EA ID: Conseqns_Of_Sin

-Also, to add, none of us live together or are using the same internet.
-None of our EA accounts are sharing an email address.
-My Xbox account is not a child account.
-Crossplay is enabled on my xbox network settings.
-Crossplay is enabled in-game for all 3 of us.
-We tried removing each other as friends on our EA account and refriending each other.

I'm sure we have tried and checked more ways but I'm blanking. Please help.


We have tried joining a 3rd party player's game but it's always the same where one of us can find/see the person and the other can't.

    Yes, blocking and unblocking worked. Once this had been achieved, both of us had to send the other a friend request. In order to be able to do this you must both join a mutual friend or find a custom server to both join. Good luck!

    Ea is a piece of garage. They can’t make anything work plus they spam you with you need to add them on ea not origin like ever one uses origin. There’s probably no answer for this tho

    Ea. Fix your software. It doesn’t work. You promote cross play. But it doesn’t work. Fix it. Fix punbuster too. I tired of it kicking out of bf4 every 5 seconds say I have cheats. Fix your games

    Do not expect a fix to this issue EA does not care this crap has been going on since release and EA still has not fixed the issue. They are too busy competing with Call of Duty to make a good game these days and they screwed us Medal of Honor players over by shutting down the Warfighter servers when a lot of us still played it. EA has become a crappy company, and they don't care about the player they just care about money now of days and it sad.
