PC Friends Social Tab
As of roughly a week the PC players section for friends under social tab only shows the player names as though they haven't opened the game but are logged into EA App. Sometimes these players will show what matches they are in but quickly changes back to out of game/logged into app. When PC friends do show in match, there is no selection for "join party", just "join game" though accepting invites works because sending invites still works. Many of my console friends also say they cannot see pc friends as in game when they know we are. Not even "the exodus". My PC friends who have been in game with me recently confirmed over game chat they are having the same issue.
EA Friends section in social tab behaves normally. Friends show and what they are playing. Though on only a few occasions the "join party" option wasn't there.
In the state of the game currently, with numbers being fragile and many of us relying on our friends to join game/party to get into matches instead of sitting in matchmaking for a game to start that never does, this is high priority. Not to stack our teams as joining game puts us on the same team as our friends but after the match is over we are now in sync with fresh matchmaking with all the players on the original joined match.
PC through EA App, no Steam
Ryzen 5 7600x Rtx2070, 32gb ddr5 ram, 2 tb free disk space, occurs with and without vpn, TUN or TAP, stable network, Arizona, USA with friends experiencing issue as far as China and Australia to London. No troubleshooting of any kind has made a difference. The issue is clearly on the backend.
