Switch users - crashing issue workaround

2 years we have been dealing with constant crashing and EA does not seem to care. Our posts go unanswered and we are left out in the cold. While there are not many of us, we nonetheless enjoy the game if it is actually working for us. 

since EA doesn’t want to support us in any way, I have been playing around with the issue and have discovered a workaround for many of the crashing issues. This deals with the connecting to match interlude where your team is getting formed and the game crashes before character selection. 

I have been able to determine that the issue stems from the fact that you remain “locked” to the previous game you managed to play. What I mean is, after you complete a game and try to connect to a new game, chances are the game is going to crash. There’s something in the software that is trying to keep you tied to that previous game and there seems to be a lot of difficulty to get you re-synchronized into the new game. To get around this I have found that I have to close the app. Wait five minutes then turn on the game again after the initial splash screen, you should get a code over or a code snake error code. After you get that code, you should be able to log into a new match without crash.

Please keep in mind, that this work round does not seem to work on mixtape modes, especially control. The cycling of the different game modes makes it difficult to release yourself from the previous game. I have found this to be successful on pubs, ranked, firing, range, and training, and bot Royale  

 

I know it seems rather convoluted, however, this method seems to be the quickest way to get into a new match. Perhaps if someone at EA were to look at this they could identify what the issue is and deploy a patch for the last few months that we get to enjoy this game on this platform.

I hope I’ve explained this effectively, and if anyone on the development or support team has any questions, I will do my best to try to clarify.

I have been testing this methodology for over a month now with consistent positive results. I’ve been testing it against doing it the normal way to confirm the fact that the crash issue is still there.
