FIXED - Friends List Issue & EA app 'Presence Update Failed' Error, Apr. 16, '24

Same issue as a couple weeks ago that was supposedly fixed. Cannot play It Takes Two together even though we are sitting next to each other having the same issue. Shows as online until we launch, when we close out and try to put ourselves back online we get "Presence Update Failed" just like in the previous issue. No troubleshooting is working.

CM edit: edited title for clarity. It unfortunately looks like this error has returned for some players. Old thread has been locked.

  • Trying to play It Takes Two but I can't get a friends list to invite my friend. It just says "Presence update failed  an error occurred when trying to change your status. Try again later."

  • Subject: Urgent: Issue with EA Play Subscription and "It Takes Two" Multiplayer Functionality

    Dear EA Support Team,

    I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a significant issue I've encountered with my EA Play subscription and the multiplayer functionality of the game "It Takes Two."

    I recently purchased a two-week EA Play subscription with the intention of enjoying various EA titles, including "It Takes Two," with a friend. However, upon attempting to play the game today, I encountered an error message stating "presence update failed," preventing me from accessing the multiplayer features.

    Despite repeated attempts to resolve the issue on my end, including restarting the game and my gaming system, checking my network connection, and ensuring that both the game and my system software are up to date, the problem persists. Additionally, I've confirmed that my EA Play subscription is active and that my friend is online and available to play.

    The inability to invite my friend to play "It Takes Two" with me due to the "presence update failed" error is highly frustrating, especially considering that I purchased the subscription specifically for this purpose. It's disappointing to encounter such a barrier to enjoying the game's multiplayer experience, especially after investing in the EA Play service.

    I kindly request your urgent assistance in resolving this issue as soon as possible. I would appreciate any guidance or support you can provide to help me regain access to the multiplayer features of "It Takes Two" and enjoy the game with my friend as intended.

    Please let me know if you require any further information or if there are additional troubleshooting steps I can take to address this issue. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of the matter.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

    Hello, 

    It seems that i have an issue with EA App and Apex . I can't see any friends on my friends list. 

    I tried restarting the app and clearing the EA app cache. Funny enough .. if i press in game Shift +F1, the EA app overlay appears an there i can see my friends online and me online, but if i quit the game i'm on invisible and i can't see any of my friends. 

    My internet connection is fine .. other apps ( like Discord ) work without issues.  

    Br,

  • FIFA 23: I am on PC and i added my friend which is on Xbox series S but i am able to invite him for online friendlies.
    please check, same issue is present in FC 24 also.

  • Yea I have the same problem with my girlfriend, tried to duo and do some missions but we can only see ourselves in the App. 

    Dont know what is going on, but really annoying tbh. 

    Tried restarting the app multiple times and repairing the game, but nothing helps

  • This new patch introduced a bug to matchmaking , some people can just find  frontline games, and we can`t see anyone in friend list playing although we can see them online on EA app.

    I am not able to see my friends list, Its all black boxes. Every day there seems to be a problem with this app. No its not my pc nor internet problems, It the EA app. Please give us an app that actually works or give us back Origin.
