Can't accept party invites

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:PC
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug Unable to accept party invites since the May 4th event. This happens in the menus. Please ignore the "game mode" selection. It was required but irrelevant. Both my brother and I can't accept each other's party invites using either the hotkey or clicking the UI. After sending an invite, it never times out; so a second invite can't be sent.
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? Falthos
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Can you tell us the date (MM/DD/YYYY) that you saw the bug? 5/4/18
What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM) 6:20PM
In what game mode did the bug occur? Strike
What is your time zone? EST (IET) - GMT - 5:30
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Try using the party system? I don't know what else to advise.
What happens when the bug occurs? Pressing they hotkey, Y, to accept the invite doesn't do anything. Trying to click the in-game popup doesn't work either. Neither accept or decline can be clicked on.
What do you expect to see? I see what is expected. It just doesn't work.
Please select your region North America
AMD or Nvidia Model Number

I can try to get you a video or screenshot if you think it helps but I fully explained what is happening. I don't think a video would even capture the full effect of the problem.

    It looks like invites to a player that hasn't launched the game yet will properly pull them into the party but that's the only option I have right now.

    I have notifications disabled in-game, I only hear the sound. So the only way I have to accept a party invite, is by opening the origin menu in-game (Shift+F1), getting into my friends' list, finding the one who sent me an invite, open a chat window with him, and there you'll see a Join Game option. If you've been invited by this player, when you click the Join Game, you'll be added to the party, and if your friend is in a game, you'll be carried there, if not you'll just join his party.

    If the person didn't invite you, or the invite expired, clicking the Join Game on Origin's chat window with him will only get you into his match.

    Also this doesn't work if any of you are 'Appearing Offline'. To join a party or send party invites, you must be online.
