Can't switch between BF1 and BF5 through in-game menu. Any help?

I own both games (and on top of that I also have Game Pass / EA Play). If I launch BF5 and switch to BF1 in game, I get asked to buy BF1 even if I own it already, if I do the opposite I get the same thing for BF5. This only happens between BF1 and BF5, when I try to switch to BF4 everything works fine, I get the full menu with server browser and so on (and the weird thing is I don't even have it installed).

Any solution to this? I tried both launching the games through Origin and EA Play and it's the same.

  • @SupahDario it's probably the case cause the style how the main menu of the games are created and set up don't match and don't actually support each other.

    I also just tried it on PS5 myself.

    From BFV to either BF1 or BF4 doesn't work, same the other way around. It always shows i don't own the other game. 

    But between BF1 and BF4 it works fine.

    You can also see if you use this switch option, but switch to your Career. There you can see it displays BF1 and BF4 together (also stats combined)

    In BFV menu it doesn't even give this option to choose Career if you open that switch menu.

    So it's just not supposed to work as it's not matching and not connected to the whole Battlefield Companion thing.
