Cannot connect to EA servers Code Net

Code:Net. 

I have restarted the computer, the modem, the router. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game on both EA and steam. I can play about 2-3 min, before the first ring collapses, and it will freeze and lose connection every time.

  • @TheMidnightTav Do you have any updates pending on your OS or drivers?

    Have you tried using a public DNS to see if this solves the issue?
  • Checked for all windows updates and there was only 1 security patch. No change. 

    checked drivers for graphics card (3060) there was one update on 2/8/23. Installed, still no difference. 

    Don’t know anything about using a public DNS.

  • I did the DNS change to the google DNS numbers you provided. I am still getting bad connection, but was able to actually play through one entire match. Still had multiple points where I thought I was getting disconnected, but it ended up keeping me in the game. Does this mean I need to keep this as the permanent DNS?
