HELP. Unable to connect to game lobby (Split Fiction)

My friend bought the full game and I had the friend pass, but then this screen appeared after accepting my friend invite. I thought this was a friend pass problem so I bought the full game from steam. And yet still appeared the same screen either my friend host or me, we both bought the game from steam. I realized that in my EA Launcher with steam linked EA account it doesn't detect split fiction, but maybe its because the game doesn't need the EA account to play in same platform and I didn't even start playing the game yet so maybe it somehow doesn't detect it? Search everywhere but no one really ever had the same problem with us, does anyone have any idea what to do?

  • Same issue, game is not detected even though I have the game bought and downloaded in steam

    Usually when a game says there's an issue with the player's game versions, it typically means that one player's game isn't updated, (or the game files are corrupted in some way.

    As for both of you buying the game, only one player needs to own Split Fiction to be able to play the full game.

    From what I know of, Split Fiction is tied to the platform its purchased on, (meaning that if you try to play it from the EA App, it would say you would need to buy it again since its owned on Steam). However, an EA Account is required to play the game, (which one must be linked to your platform account).

    PaliDior​ & b1ur_red​ both you and your friends can try:

    • Checking to see if there's somehow a missed update for the game
    • Verifying the game's files
    • Reinstalling the game's files

    Note: If you need another player to help figure out which friend's game version is the problem, you can add me as a friend on the EA App, (my username is the same as my forums name), and we can see if we can get past the lobby screen with each player, and figure out what the issue is from there.
