EA Client is the Worst!

All of my friends are shown as offline, even tho they are online and I could even get anyone to join for my party too. It's like purchasing games and spending all the money i have just to see a client bug that stopped playing the game. Wow EA! Thank You very much for the support. Even tho I purchased the game on Steam, this EA wants to go through an authentication process through their client just to show us the bugs they are currently developing.

I can't even add a friend in the game because showing all of them are offline, and the game im trying to play 'A Way Out' has an infinite loading screen when trying to invite a friend to the game. Wow ! two in a row. At least a give a button to request to join feature!. This client is the minimalistic and the worst client i have seen in the game franchises so far!
