Friend not showing up on friends list PVZ BFN

Hi,

When I play Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville, there are a couple friends whom I have added from in the game who have never shown up on the friends list. There will be a '1' next to the friends tab when they are online but nothing in the actual list. I have tried unfriending a refriending them but they still never show up. And when they send me invites the game says I can't join because the user is not found, but it seems like they can join me. If there's anything that can be done about this I would really appreciate help.

Thanks!

    Yeah I’m having the same problem too. It’s frustrating because I can’t play with my brother and we both really like the game.

    I used to be able to see him on my friends list, but after a couple times playing with him he disappeared and both of us have tried fixing it by re-adding each other, restarting the game, and scouring the Internet but no luck.

     One thing that has worked for me is we both can see another one of our mutual friend’s username. So when our friend is on we will join him first. It works, but it’s still incredibly frustrating to us because we’re pretty excited about this game and can’t play it together.

    I hope the info helps and hoping for a fix soon too…

  • @souplu I’m sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your friends list in Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville. 😞

    According to some web search results, this issue may be related to the privacy settings of your or your friends’ accounts. You may want to try the following steps to fix it1:

    Make sure you and your friends are not blocked by each other
    Make sure your and your friends’ profiles are searchable on your platform (Switch, PS5, etc.)
    Make sure your and your friends’ profiles are not set to private on EA or Origin
    Remove any inactive or deleted profiles from your friends list
  • That's the same thing that happened to me, I was playing in a group and I sent someone a friend request but shortly after like 1, or 2 seconds the game crashed and it sent me to the title screen, and then when I logged back in I couldn't find my friend on the friends list. I was on nintendo.
