    ISSUE RESOLVED: I found a solution to this problem.

    The problem: Epic Games account owns Battlefront 2. Steam account owns Battlefront 2. After linking both accounts to EA the friend invites are asking to install the game and won't work.

    The solution: Unlinked my Epic Games account and cleared the EA app cache (Click the triple line in the top left of the app window; go to help; go to app recovery; click clear cache) and verified the game data through Steam in that order. I'm not certain which step fixed it but all steps I did at once and it resolved the problem.

    Good blasting to anyone out there; hopefully this helps.

I can't find anything in the help section of EA and no way to contact EA support through their help pages. Every time I try to open a chat through a random topic it tells me there was an error either reload the page or an error with their bot authentication.

I can't contact EA support so that solution doesn't work. Not sure what to do.
