I have restricted access mode turned off, but it is registering as on when looking at the Origin In-Game menu. This seems to be preventing chat and party invites from working properly. I have tried turning restricted access mode on and off, but it does not seem to affect or allow changes on the Origin In-Game menu.  @Straatford87

    Hey there,

    That is strange one. As Restricted Access Mode is turned off by default, just want to check a few things with you:

    • Did you turn this on at some point?
    • Can you try running Origin as administrator?

    Last resort: try completely uninstalling and reinstalling Origin, or clearing the Origin cache.

    Let me know if that helps!

      Hi @Straatford87,

      I've got the same issue. I can't accept party invites within Apex Legends. Origin In-Game is enabled in the game settings and in the Origin Launcher. I have tried running Origin as administrator and have even cleared the cache. Have never turned on Restricted Access Mode.

      Any other ideas? I don't really want to uninstall and reinstall but can do if needed.

      Many thanks.
