Unable to connect to friends

Community ManagerHey @xCMDR_Kane,
So you mention that one of you guys plays on the PC and one of you plays on either an Xbox Series S|X or PS5, right? And for the person who plays on PC, have they tried using EA Desktop already? That program has a feature to import console persona friends, Origin doesn't.
Can you maybe check if it works via EA Desktop?

i downloaded the EA desktop app, but the game refuses to launch from it and instead is defaulting to origin, which in turn is needed to launch the game. If i purchased the game through steam am i unable to view the game in my "collections" tab without buying the game again?
i have also migrated the game files over from steam, so i am able to launch the game from the desktop app. I am still unable to connect to my friend as i can see he is online through the app, but in game there is no one being shown as online. His and my settings are set to online as well/
- EA_Leeuw@xCMDR_Kane, ah alright you bought the game via Steam, no Origin. Good to know.
Either way; when you search for the EA ID (Origin username) in-game, are you then still unable to find each other?using the origin and EA desktop app i can see him as being online and even send messages, but in game i am always shown that i have no friends online nor will it give me any results should i look his EA ID up in game through the social function. i even made a custom experience for him to look up and find so we could add each other like that but despite looking up that specific experience, nothing will appear.
