Connected via Ethernet, I don't have any problems playing any of my other games online.   (P.s, how do I get back to this forum when I receive a reply? I just had to search for it and it took me 5 minutes to find it )

Re: Can't connect to EA Live Servers

@ManualSave  didn't you receive an email ?....there's a direct link in it

the problem with the Anthem servers is that they are difficult to connect to an to stay connected to...that's the reason why you might just have the problem with Anthem and no other game. Stability is to be prioritised over speed, the slightest error on your line and it won't connect.

I'm on PC so I don't know much about console settings, sorry.

Yeah but I'm using mobile and when I follow the link through the email, I'm not signed in and it doesn't give me the option to sign in using my PSN account which is how I created my account and how I sign in so I can't sign in without it. Ok thank you for your input, any idea on how I can make the line more stable?

@ManualSave  I don't really cos I'm in France and providers are different... with mine I can check if there are errors on the line and then try to find out if it comes from my installation or from the provider...

If your mobile phone is an Iphone it doesn't work for some reason but it should with any other smartphone

I'm using an android but it opens the link in a separate browser that's connected to the email app.  Yeah we have that too but it says there's no problems, I will have to get in contact with my provider because when I do a speed test, I still have the speeds they promised but I have noticed that it does sometimes have problems like right now I'm watching YouTube and the quality has dropped from 1080p to 720

Thank you , got in touch with them and they said to change DNS servers and it should definitely make the connection more stable and improve speeds but it can take 24-72 hours to update and I'll have to wait and see. But I wouldn't of done it without your input, didn't know Anthem needed a stable connection for you to play so thanks Standard smile

Have you tried to play anthem connected to hotspot? I just made a topic about it im on ps4 pro my broadband got between 20mb/70mb speed, my iphone got between 1.2mb/12mb (depending where the phone is i can even get more) but anthem got that exactly same issue that you said but only connected to broadband on my iphone 11 hotspot works perfect. Can you test it and let me know ? See if possibly its common issue or maybe just me. I tried many things port forward etc nothing...
