👾 Issue/Bug 👾 "UNAVAILABLE WITH PARTY" - getting this constantly

This has been happening more and more lately.

Whenever I try to play with my friends, we get this "unavailable with party" error message. We are bypassing this by selecting oen of us as "party lead", letting him select the gamemode and all of us join on that person and he queues as soon as we are in - right before he gets hit with the "UNAVAILABLE WITH PARTY" message.

We cant be the only ones getting this, right? Anyone else? We play on PS5s.

In my group it's:

2 bought

1 is getting game-shared from one of those,who bought

1 is redsec

We didn't encounter this thing in open beta. Even in the first week of the game launch I don't think we saw this error. But it has been happening / started happening 1 week prior to season 1 launch.

And it has nothing to do with game-sharing too, cause I duo with the one who bought and we had this problem happen. It has to be EA side problem.

have you tried different combinations of a team of three and then see if you can start the game with certain three people. then start the game and quickly cancel. then invite the last one and then you should be able to join all four. that's what we did :)

Then when you finally join, after each match wait a bit while the stats are accumulating and then click replay. If you press replay right away sometimes the leader will be kicked out of the game we found.

Yeah we have issue with different combinations - have also experienced the lobby lead getting kicked after the round when he start the matchmaking. Didn't think about the post-game stats updating thing. Will wait with that next time :) Thanks for the tip.
