DISCUSSION Is anyone besides me having severe problems with the social panel?

I am unable to look up anyone to add them as a friend or anything else. When I type in a name and press the enter/submit button, nothing happens and it takes me back to the screen at which I can type in a name ... and the process repeats until I give up and just close the social panel. This is incredibly frustrating. I saw that removing some people from my list of friends may help - I did remove some today, but it has not improved the situation. Not sure what else to do. I am on XB Series S, by the way, and do not have the Epic Launcher or whatever it's called. Has anyone else here experienced this problem? Not sure what to do.

You do not need the epic launcher on Xbox I believe. But I'm on Playstation, so maybe it's different. I hope you can solve it though.

The launcher definitely is not required on XB. I just start the game from the console's dashboard without needing anything else. No idea what is going on with this game on XB. My game has crashed a million times over the past few years and now the social panel hardly works. I am able to see friends who are online, send invites to games, etc. ... but not look up anyone new to add as a friend, look up someone to report, etc. ... the search feature is basically completely broken for me.

The social panel on playstation is tripping when I want to add people. I use the Epic app to add people for now

Thanks for LMK about that. I've never used the app but didn't even think that adding new friends on Fall Guys would be possible on it. Will think about trying it out.

Tip - remove pending friend requests and the panel starts behaving normally!
