Re: Dead Space 3 coop broken in EA Desktop?

Hi @Chrishel9615,

I'd like that start off with mentioning that Dead Space 3 is an amazing game, so good choice!

You also mentioned that you cannot find each other under "browse friends games", is this in the EA app or in-game in Dead Space 3?

Could you also provide a screenshot?

  • I'm also having the same problem, I use EA Desktop and I can't invite my friend to play Dead Space 3 co-op. When I invite him, he appears online, but there is no option to invite him to the online match. I've created both public and private rooms and nothing, I just can't call him and he can't call me to play either. What is the solution, because going through the Origin app, the game is not recognized. In the attached image, where "..." appears, there are only 3 options: View profile, Block and Report, there is no option to send invitation to join the game

  • Hey! You were relegated to my junk folder, sorry for taking so very long. We first tried within the game itself, then tried through the EA app, but no luck. We can't see each other listed. I'll grab a screenshot when we try to connect again, not at the home PC at the moment.

  • @Chrishel9615 Yeah sure, btw both of you should try running the game as administrator (it also may help you). It's also very important to be friends with the person you are playing with. Remember, the accounts must be connected, so you have to be connected to the EA desktop via your Xbox app and the same thing is with your gaming partner, the accounts simply have to match each other! Also you can try setting your status as Online (not invisible). I honestly don't know if that will make any difference, but since you don't know the solution - everything is worth trying...
  • Hi @EA_Jason !

    This worked perfectly! whoever is the host needs to make their lobby PUBLIC. then the friend can "browse friends games" and find the lobby to join. 

    Thank you for the help!

    Still cannot invite friend in co-op game.

    Friend also can't invite me.

    We press Shift+F1 change needed friend, click on Select, window of overlay closes and nothing happens.
