Hello, we are having problems to join or invite players to our lobbies on Star Wars Battlefront I (2015) Pc due for some reason people who are certainly playing shows online but not on game and in fact when I'm playing the game people notice l appears not in game too, this issue started since some days ago so we can't join lobbies or invite players from friend list and is worse for private lobbies.
Thanks for your help
VaqueroGaLactic0 I am having the exact same issues, but with Star Wars Battlefront 2.
To troubleshoot this issue, without any success, I have signed out and completely removed the EA app, including all folders, files, temp files, registry entries etc, then reinstalled the app and signed in. Run a sfc/scannow, restarted my router, completely removed and reinstalled both wifi and ethernet drivers, updated windows and made sure no other program like steam or discord was running or even had started before starting the ea app. Tried a different Ethernet cable as well. So I have no clue why this is happening, but if I find a solution I will update here.
yep, looks like the EA app is the issue
I can confirm this by stating that this problem has been occurring for multiple players including myself, that this is not a problem of the Private Match mods if being used, it is a recent problem affecting the game itself, and that a multitude of attempts at fixing this have been tried by many different people ranging from:
I want to clarify that public lobbies work, but for some reason the Private Match functions to invite friends are no longer working.
Known and Common Attempts
- Inviting through party first, (both ways), and trying with different people hosting.
- Unfriending and friending players through the EA App in and out of game.
- Turning off EA Overlay, and turning it back on after testing without it.
- Signing out and signing back into the EA App.
- Ensuring no other programs such as Steam or Discord are running in any manner including in the background.
- Restarting the game and restarting the computer.
- Reinstalling the game and or verifying files.
- Manually deleting all game files, (including root folder and Documents settings).
Uncommon Attempts / (DePotMan, your attempts solely for SWBF2 so far.)
- Completely removing the EA App, including all folders, files, temp files, registry entries, etcetera before reinstalling the EA App.
- Running a SFC scannow.
- Restarting the router, and completely uninstalling and reinstalling WiFI and ethernet drivers.
- Updating Windows.
- And finally, trying a different ethernet cable.
(Note: DePotMan, I think you're having an unrelated but similar issue as I've recently tried seeing if the same problem was occurring in SWBF2 with a friend, but was able to get into a CO-OP lobby just fine. There are no true Private Matches in SWBF2 so that's inapplicable.)
Some people also thought the Private Match mods, if they were using them, were a problem and also tried:
Attempts Related to Mod Usage
- Reinstalling the Private Match mod(s) and Frosty Mod Manager.
- Re-downloading the .fbmod file.
Nothing has worked, and many players, including myself, are not aware of why this has happened out of the blue. Hopefully, someone aware to the issue may be able to give an answer as to what happened, and or if a fix comes about.
