Re: Not connecting - going into offline mode February 2021

Hello,

I have the same problem. When I am connected after several tries of clicking connect and try to join a server ich get the error code: 216.

Since any other EA Game I play (Battlefield 4, 5, SW Squadrons, SWBF1) are working fine I dont expect this to be a case of port forwarding or something else but rather an extension of the problem covered in this thread. Also before someone writes it. I did port forwarding just in case (which never works in such errors) and uotrace. Nothing wrong with my connection.

This offline problem is related with the Error 721.

Still not resolved. 🤔

After the Origin Update today, I cannot connect at all.  After a few dozen 721 Errors the game changed to Error 327 - Unable to Connect to EA Servers, followed by a console-style red message across the top left of my screen that says the servers are currently down and they are aware of the issue.

While this is a problem at all times, it does seem to increase every Wednesday, when I suspect there is a large jump in traffic due to the XP Bonus.

Hi,

..... but the original issue resulting in the error code 721 is still with us. Is this something we have to accept as standard behaviour and live with going forward?

Yes, I confirmed. 

The EA server issue might be resolved.

But we still have the offline mode problem (Error 721).

It would seem that this has been an issue in the past for many people over the years.

I hope this gets some kind of resolution.
