Summarize your bug The social online friends feature is buggy as hell. Does not see my son online in same game as me in next room.
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a friend online - can see them online in EA app - then start BF2042 and it will say Social [0] and your friend is not online. No matter how many times I restart game.
What happens when the bug occurs? No friends online
What should be happening instead? Should be able to see friend playing BF2042
The social friends feature is broken - it does NOT detect your friends being online and playing game.
My son is in next room on his own PC and we are both logged into EA and playing BF2042 at same time. About 80% of the time it says he is not online... Social [0] in game.
And then to make matters worse, when he is NOT here and playing... I have seen it say he IS online.. says Social[1] and I can see his name on page.... absolutely ridiculous. Even though I ask him is he playing right now... and he says no.
Both PCs on same local network in house. Mine is 5950X / 4080 his is 3900X / 3070
This has been happening months now - I see others complaining about it here too.
I tried the workaround of running entire game as administrator and that appeared to fix it - but today again, he is here playing, I am running game as admin, and yet I STILL CAN'T SEE HIM in game.
Its really pissing me off because he is not here very often - and every time he is here we can't play same game together.
The actual EA app IS working correctly and can see when he is online/offline correctly 100% of the time. So whatever BF2042 is doing is broken.
Can you get someone to look into this bug?
