Friend list not showing up

Friends list is not loading in Origin. Showing offline but actually I am online. Need help.

  • Hey all, this is often a system or network issue so let's start by trying the following.

    Disable Changing Internet Explorer’s Proxy Settings:

    1. Type gpedit.msc in the Start menu’s search box and then press Enter.
    2. Navigate to User ConfigurationAdministrative TemplatesWindows Components, and then select Internet Explorer in the left column of the Group Policy editor.
    3.  Double-click Disable changing proxy settings in the Settings section of the Group Policy editor.
    4. Select Enable and then click OK to save the changes.

    Let me know how you get on.

  • @EA_Darko why should i follow the steps when the fix is to do nothing and let EA sort out the mess. it worked for me and everyone else I have mentioned. 

    You keep denying that there were an issue with the friends list while hundreds of people had an issue with the friends list. The correct number is probably thousands but I can of course only go by the cases I have verified myself.  I'm giving you real information and you just close your eyes and pretend it didnt happen. 

    But you are right. We are only going in circles because EA for some reason refuse to admit that there were an issue that affected many users.

    And when called out on it you also refuse to give any explanation for an obvious flaw in your argument that it was only local issue happening.

    But this isnt surprising at all because this is what EA do. When issues happen its little to no information and its always blame the local computer. 

    I'm very aware that there were multiple issues including people having verification loop, games not starting etc. I also assume they all are connected and it also affected the friends list for many.

    And no information was given that such issues existed from EA until Respawn had to go out and confirm issues. (and it affected more that Apex and Titanfall)

    Going to go ahead and close this thread now as it is just going around in circles.

    If you see this issue pop up please try the steps I shared above.
