How I Stumbled Upon the Problem
So, I was playing Girls’ Frontline 2 yesterday after finishing some daily missions, and I got this cool idea to add my buddy who just started the game. But every time I tapped the “Add Friend” button in the social menu, nothing happened. It just stayed stuck on that loading spinner forever, like it was mocking me. I thought, “Man, this has to be some common glitch—it can’t just be me, right?” I was frustrated ’cause we had plans to team up for the co-op event, and I didn’t wanna miss out.

What I Did to Fix It Step by Step
Alright, after calming down, I decided to tackle this mess head-on. First up, I figured it might be my crappy Wi-Fi. So, I hopped off the game, restarted my router, and made sure all my devices were connected solid. Nope, that didn’t change a thing—still couldn’t add anyone.
Then, I went digging through the settings:
- I opened the game options and checked for any friend-adding permissions I might’ve messed up.
- Made sure my profile was set to public, not private, ’cause sometimes that blocks invites.
- Updated the game app just in case—I was a version behind, and who knows if that was the culprit?
Still no luck after all that. I felt kinda stuck, so I took a break, grabbed a coffee, and searched online for tips. Found a bunch of other players grumbling about this same issue on forums, but no clear fixes yet.
Finally, the Solution That Worked
On a whim, I remembered how old mobile games get weird if you’re logged in too long. So, I force-closed Girls’ Frontline 2 completely, waited a minute, and logged back in. Boom—tried adding my friend again, and it worked instantly! Turned out, a simple re-login was all it took. Now we’re back to gaming together, raiding events like pros.
What I Learned from This Mess
Honestly, this whole thing was a reminder that gaming hiccups are often simpler than they seem. Sometimes, the quickest fixes—like restarting or logging out and in—are the ones that save your bacon. I know it ain’t fancy, but hey, that’s life. If you’re hitting the same wall in Girls’ Frontline 2, give my approach a shot—it might just save you a headache.
