SPOILER ALERT! 

 

I think I have the fix, well it worked for me anyway...a full re-install of the game!

 

Last night a friendly twitter EA Help guy called "Skeeter" was next in the queue for my online bile, but after patiently replying with the usual fixes which had all been tried his last throwaway line was "you could always try a full re-install as there may be some corrupt files" Thumbs up

 

Well oh my days Skeeter was right, I guess after the first install around a year ago, patch upon patch and updates etc. have been layered up. I just deleted the lot and did a fresh 59GB install which took around an hour on my 100MB line, the game lobby was straight in to matches quicker than I'd ever seen it before Cool

 

So if you've tried everything else except for this I reckon give it a go...what have you got to lose, it worked for me !!

 

Fingers crossed for you all Nerd

Reluctantly trying this method as we speak because the logic about patch upon patch potentially causing corrupt files is fair comment.

 

Will let you know.

 

Fingers crossed.

Like an over excited teenager I posted my joy too quickly, the matchmaking server honeymoon lasted a whole 24 hrs and then...

 

whaddayknow normal service is now resumed....can't get a game anywhere, server site defaults to Ireland and waiting for 9 players to join.....ENDLESSLY

 

It was nice while it lasted, but now back to Trump, Iran, Brexit with no escape on Xbox

Wish i'd waited now, lol, oh well... too late,

 

Can't hurt to have a fresh re-install though i suppose? Must be some fragmentation with all the patches.

Yeah I still think there's logic in that but can't explain why yesterday was so instant into games and today is SNAFU

It's always something, never known a title like it, it's almost like they have a quota to meet for alienating as many players as possible, and creating spectacular new original ways for the game to fail.

 

Said it before and i'll say it again... It's not a good idea to annoy/let down Star Wars fans, we have long memories and are not the most forgiving!
