cant join friends

I'm using the apex connect. it says join friend yet nothing wtf. Is it broken system atm

Same problem here, trying to figure it out

You add your friend through Apex client in the main menu. It does take time.

Once you send a friend request using there name/code it might say user not found but it will show as an incoming friend request if your friend gives it a few mins and checked pending friend requests.

You both also have to have multiplayer matchmaking turned on in the options tab. Check Apex again after a few more minutes and it will show your friend as online and you will be able to click on his/her name and click join game.

Again this is slow at syncing it will show that you have joined game but cannot see your friend give this 5 mins and you both should see each other in game.

Hope you have a good fishing trip. O7

We've had luck with going offline (in-game) for the person we're joining and then immediately going online again.
That doesn't join a server instantly, so there's plenty room for friends to join in.

Seems more like it's a matter of actually getting a spot on a server, rather than anything else.
Seems like they fill up fairly fast, but the above-mentioned "little trick", has worked just perfect for us so far.

Still having issues here joining friends. Both in game menus say we are playing the angler but the reserve says 0 friends online and no options anywhere to join each other. Have joined before with no issues but now can not.
