So I just bought A way out and invited my friend to my lobby with the free pass, but he can't join. he's just stuck in the loading screen and sometimes it crashes with the code "fatal error". we're both on pc and very frustrated.

Hey all, a couple of things that you can try if experiencing this issue. You may run into an issue if you or your friend is playing on IPv4 and the other is on IPV6, and vice versa. If on Xbox please ensure that you both have Xbox Live and you have your account set to Adult Default. Also, please ensure that you are playing on your home console. If you are playing on PS4 then please check that you have PS+. If on PC can you ensure that you are allowing the game to access the internet, you can try disabling your anti-virus and firewall to test.

Can’t play game. Won’t let friend join on free pass or after purchasing game. Unacceptable

Also on xbox, and we also both purchased the game. We've got the exact same thing your describing, endless loading circles no matter which person we join. Still hoping it's just server issues that will be fixed soon as this game looks awesome.

These are all BS fixes! I'm on Xbox and I shouldn't have to be on my home Xbox, as long as I'm signed into my account I should be able to play any game I own... Oh wait I can except for this game typical EA just doesn't care for the gamer only their pockets. If this is not fixed by mid next week I will get a refund as I've had A Way Out since launch and I haven't even had 30 sec of gameplay!😡 THIS IS BAD BUISNESS👎👎
