Got the same Problem, but in my case I see some of my friends only on the European Server and some only on the US Server and there are some I don't see at all. And when adding them I got the same message saying that they are already my friends. And no it's not a NAT Type Problem ....

Hi folks,

We posted this in another thread about the same issue, but it's worth sharing again here.

This is an issue we're actively looking into. What we know so far is this seems to be impacting those who are adding existing friends from either Xbox Live or PlayStation Network to the in-game friends list. Here are a few additional details that may help:

• Only friends who have logged into the same ESOTU console server as you will show up on your in-game friends list.
• The sync between the Xbox Live and PSN friends lists and ESOTU can take several hours to fully populate.
• On Xbox One, you must be mutual friends with someone, meaning you need to be following them, and they must be following you in order for them to show up on your in-game friends list in ESOTU.

[EDIT] @DrakeRamoray I think some of your friends are playing on EU and some NA, and as stated by Jessica, only friends who are on the same server as you will show up, are you switching between the servers?

@daemonbourne looks like it's just taking awhile, probably since so many people are online adding friends

@MissBizz:

no, all the players are definitely on the same Server. We started on the US Server, and when the problem started we all created new characters on the EU Server. So everyone of my friends has at least one character on the EU and one on the US Server.

I will try the solution with deleting the friends and re adding them on the PS. Even when I think, that this is a thing that you developers should fix.

@DrakeRamoray Alright, I was just passing along a message from the Community manager that may have answered your question, as I mentioned (and bolded) I only thought that may be the issue. There is surely some issues at the moment, and we are all hoping they get them fixed as soon as possible.

As well, just to clarify, anyone with the title Community Ambassador is not a developer, do not work for ZOS or any of that in any way. We are simply players that try to go that extra mile by helping others out the best we can. Believe me, I have had my fair share of frustrations with the console launch as well

I had this issue with a few of my friends. This is how we were able to resolve it:

I removed them from my friends list and readded them and it worked. It's not too much of an issue since when you remove them from your friend list, you can simply readd them within seconds.

Hopefully they can find out what the issue is and resolve it, but in the meantime, this will resolve your issue.

I am also having this issue! Please help us! I really want to have a my PSN friends on list or else It becomes a mission to start a group.

Basically, I search my friends and find them. Their is a circled "X" next to their name and when I clicked "add" the game prompts that we are already friends. That all if I can even properly "search" my friends because half of the time their name doesn't show up after I clicked "done".

Please help!
