CRITICAL BUG: f1/ea friends can't join lobby (steam only)

Game: F1 23

Platform:Steam-PC
Please specify your platform model: PC

Summarize your bug:
 if the multiplayer lobby is set to "Friends only" - ONLY Steam friends are able to join the lobby. But your EA/inGame Friends however, should be able to join as well - because they are friends. with this bug, the crossplay the function is massively limited. 

F1 ingame/EA/crossplay friends can join the lobby only with invitation (which is a huge extra effort and does not always work). Or you set the lobby to open, but then the lobby is immediately full with random people. 

For us, the f1 community, is this a CRTICIAL bug and should be TOP 1 prioritization within the bug list. Please fix this with the next updates, that the leagues can race.


Can you please provide the name of your current internet service provider? 1&1, but doesn't matter
Which area is the bug/glitch in? Multiplayer
Did you have cross-play enabled? Yes
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Create multiplayer lobby. Set it from open to friends only. Only steam friends can join. All other platforms need an invitation. They can't join, even if they are YOUR ingame friends.
What happens when the bug occurs? Playing with steam friends only - or if the lobby is set to open, playing with randoms.
What do you expect to see? All kind of friends should be able to join the lobby, platform-unindependent.



We testet this with different lobbies, different people, so this bug is 100% existing. For us, the f1 community, is this a CRTICIAL bug and should be TOP 1 prioritization within the bug list. Please fix this with the next updates, that the leagues can race.

Many thanks for the good car physics - good game so far.


Best regards,

  • I figured they'd put this in as soon as possible. I thought it wasn't there a year ago because of the time pressure, but now it has to be in the game as soon as possible.

    Sorry to add you here directly, but from our view (many league leaders and large community), this bug is one of the most importants which needs to be fixed ASAP.

    Please consider this in upcoming update....

    Thank you for giving this attention...

    Best regards,

  • @sLydon @CM_TGK and @EA_rephii could you please confirm that this is being reviewed and under investigation?

    Without sounding arrogant - fixing this bug is more important than almost all the points in the new patch notes 1.05 or most of what is still under investigation. This is simply one of the biggest exciters for F1 23 players. Thanks.
