Same problem as everyone in the above thread, both people logged in, privacy settings open - I can search him (Areochord is his username) but he does not receive my sent friend request.
He however cannot find me by searching for my name in origin / ea desktop.

@mamasboyfilmz Ah okay, I was under the impression that you managed to add each other through Apex Legends and that you are friends in Origin/EA app, but that you can't find each other in Battlefield.
@NZLDoomfulla Have you logged into the Origin client with your EA account?
So for both of you I have one more suggestion that you can try out. You and your friends can download and install the EA app, log in, and then try to find each other through the EA app. I have seen some success where this works as a workaround.

I'm having this same issue. I'm on PC my friend is on Xbox series x. We can't find each other on battlefield 2042. Through the ea app or the game. I don't know what to do... Is this a known issue or what? I can't play with any of my friends.. wouldn't you think EA would have this fixed when the game came out?

Have you tried the troubleshooting steps that I mentioned above @Edwards843?

I posted the same troubleshooting steps as those are the ones that seem to help nearly all of the players.
Could you let me know which of the steps you have tried and what happened when you tried them?
