Re: Can't get a game in any mode and ping site fixes don't work

Still can't use my default closest ping site (UK) and the suggested fixes still don't make a blind bit of difference to this but...

 

It was noticeably easier to find games last night on the next closest site (Ireland) and there was no discernible lag whilst playing either.

I don't know if this means some kind of fix is processing or just more people were waiting longer in lobbies instead of rage quitting/getting bored/thinking the game is dead? But I suppose it means that there are still players out there wanting/trying to engage the game!

 

Actually managed to play a variety of game modes for the first time this week - GA, Extraction and HvV (Still couldn't get on SA though Disappointed)

 

It's interesting though that this ping thing isn't affecting all players seeing that people are still posting questions/bugs/issues on here about a range of other in-game stuff!

Obviously they can get into games/modes alright?

I wonder what the criteria is for being shut out of the game? It's not location/platform/ISP so are we just the unlucky ones?

We are still looking at the ping site issue. No new update so far. Standard smile

@EA_Aticjust a reminder that the ping site issue is not all. Even people with the correct ping site can't get any populated lobby at all

Can't tell you how long I've been grinding my teeth with this issue!

 

I've spend too long on the phone to EA Customer Support being slowly dragged through a support flow chart by someone who's probably never seen and Xbox, asking me to reboot router, open ports, change ping site etc. only to be referred back to these community boards by EA themselves!

 

EA have no answers and cannot fix the issue with their own servers. What is going on? You are a massive corporation specialising in online gameplay, why is this taking so long and damaging your loyal customer base?

 

This is a problem that did not exist earlier in the year, during the credits scandal, then you "fix" that and deal us this!

 

My connection with EA is very poor right now and it seems like you guys don't care enough to put things right.

And.... after over an hour of trying... we're back to can't get an online game in any mode on any ping site.

 

Only saw one other player in a lobby the whole time too. Can't tell me nobody in Western Europe is trying to play on a Saturday morning. It's prime time for kids.

 

This is worst issue the game has had yet. Gutted.

Pretty sure the game is dead. If not, this issue is going to kill it.

I hope not. At least Battlefront still works!

Battlefront 1 still works? Maybe I'll give that one a try again.
