One friend appear offline, but the others are normal

Hi, so this problem appears recently, one certain friend of mine always appears as offline in origin and in game (in this case apex legend) and he canot invite me even though I show as online to him. It doesn’t happen to the other because all the other friend appears normal when they’re online. My friend recently changed platform from st**m to origin, but he was at first playing in origin.
How do I fix this problem ?

  • Hey @IPERSLEY this is generally a network or ISP issue. I'd recommend that your friends try the steps I've suggested above as if the issue is on their end then you troubleshooting the issue on yours won't do much.

    Hey @IPERSLEY, a lot of the time this issue is related to a network or connection issue.


    Would you and your friend be able to try accessing Origin using a different connection to see if you see the same issue?


    If you can set your phone as a mobile hot-spot and connect using mobile data to test that would be great.

  • Yes we have tried different connection, but he still appears online to me, and I appear online to him. We can still play as a party if we have a third person to invite me or him, not him directly to me and vice versa.

  • No no, my friend is the one that appears offline to me, whilst I appears online to him, eventhought both of us are online.

    In your last post @IPERSLEY you said that he appears online to you and you appear online to him. I would recommend that your friend speaks with his ISP as this is often network or ISP based.

  • Oh yeah sorry, my bad, I mean my friend still appear offline to me and I appear online/away to him, he can send me game invites now, but I cant cause he appears as offline.

    This issue also appears on my new friend now. So there's a total of 2 person that seems offline to me (that I know of) even thought they're online.

  • @EA_Darko Hi - I'm having the same problem (I cannot see the activity of at least 2 people but at least one of them can see that i am online (even though i am in game playing with them). I've cleared the cache, tried connecting via phone hotspots, turning off notifications etc etc. Any others ideas?
