How to Add Friends in The Finals, Can't Invite Friends Fix
Can’t figure out how to add friends in The Finals & fix the can’t invite friends bug, specifically the beta? You’re definitely not the only one. For one, you have to enable a certain setting that you might not think to do. And then you have to go through a bunch of steps that really complicate matters. That’s to say nothing of the aforementioned bug that brings the whole thing to a screeching halt. Let’s get right into it, shall we?
How to Add Friends in The Finals Beta
To add friends in The Finals beta (we’ll get to the can’t invite friends fix in the next section), you have to go through a series of very specific steps. It’s a bit hare-brained, all things considered, and I hope the developers change things in the future. Okay, so, the first thing you have to do is enable crossplay in the settings. Before you do that, you won’t be able to invite friends, regardless of which platform all y’all are playing on. Once that’s done with, go into the game’s lobby. Locate the small box in the top right corner of the screen and click the second icon. That’s the “Invite a Friend” option. Now, you’ll have to log into the Embark Studios website using your Steam ID. Add your friends from there, and hop back into the game after you’re done and send the invites. It’s… so unnecessary.
How to Fix Can’t Invite Friends in The Finals
Okay, so now that we know how to add friends in The Finals, what can you do to fix the issue where you can’t invite friends? As in, you can’t play with friends at all; can’t join friends, can’t send or receive invites, the friends list is not working; you name it. There are several things you can do. For one, check whether the game’s servers are up and everybody’s internet connection is solid. Also, make sure everyone has crossplay turned on, as explained above. If everything is working properly, have everybody restart their clients (you included).
The final thing you should try is reinstalling the game from scratch, but that is the final resort. There’s one thing you should try beforehand. Hop into the game via Steam and hit F12 to bring up the console. Type in this command: RequestPlaytestAccess() and hit Enter. This should let you get around the problem.
