Re: Unable to connect to friends

@EA_Leeuw I'm also having almost this exact same problem. I'm on PC, bought the game through Steam, but I use Origin as well. I can't find my PS5 friend. His PS5 username is exactly the same as his Origin name, so it should be easy. Worse is that he also can't find my username, yet cross-play is enabled for him. I have no issues playing with Xbox friends of mine, but I've yet to play with my PS5 friend :/ . Hope this can be resolved soon, as he and I have enjoyed cross-play on other titles and we were very excited to play BF2042.

    Hey @Teebleton,

    One thing to make sure of as well for your PS5 friend is that your friend needs to have the dedicated PS5 version installed/launched if he wants to play with PC players via cross-play. Are you sure of this?

    @xCMDR_Kane, very strange indeed. It could also be a setting on your/their EA or console account that prevents you from seeing/invite each other. For your EA account, make sure that the options are correctly selected here: https://myaccount.ea.com/cp-ui/privacy/index.

    I'm having this same issue with PC and Xbox versions of the game. When we are both online we both don't appear in the friends list in game or EA application to invite each other to the game. I attempted to make a game in the portal and have them connect but they couldn't find the portal game. They also attempted to make a portal game and have me join and I couldn't find that ether. We then attempted to find the same portal server that was already running and we couldn't find one with a matching name.

    Since this thread hasn't been active since 2021 until recently, I'm going to have to lock it.
