Battlefield 1943 server down again?

[kljlmr]

Is the server down again? It says "failed to connect to ea online" when we click on "quick match" on our xbox 360.

@kljlmr @teenbrat1 Still having this issue?

[kljlmr]

Mine came back up soon after I posted the first msg. It's been happening more often the past 1-2 months though.

[teenbrat1]

Yes

@teenbrat1 Can you add more exact info on what is happening.

After I press start it goes to the main menu usually there is a button for air superiority but that is always missing and when I press quick match it just says connecting and then that box goes away and another box appears displaying the words FAILED TO CONNECT TO EA ONLINE but I play mass effect 3 a lot and I connect perfectly with that game

Try this on your internet modem / router and let me know if this solved your issue. It helped my internet connection at home a lot.

1) Log into your modem / router
2) Turn OFF UPNP.
3) Turn off PC UPnP Service
4) Press: Windows-button a window should pop up. Write: services.msc then press enter.
5) In the list of services, scroll down to UPnP Device Host click it and press Stop service. Now do the same thing but with the service & SSDP Discovery
6) Exit the window and go to control panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Centre > Change advanced sharing settings under network discovery, select to turn off network discovery then Save your changes

Please also enable the following online ports on your connection:
TCP: 53, 88, 3074
UDP: 53, 88, 3074

For specific instructions on how to open your ports, please visit http://www.portforward.com/ or contact your router manufacturer.

Teenbrat explained the exact same thing that I am experiencing and it is happening again right now.

Same issue here. Battlefield 1943 keeps reporting "Failed to connect to EA Online" This has been going on for about five days.

Nothing has changed here and all other services, including EA services for games like FIFA are working well.

XBox 360.

All ports are open on the router.

Problem happens when trying to use Quick Play or Play with Friends option.

My router log indicates requests to the ea online servers are not receiving a reply.

Please fix the server!
