I can't start my Battlefield 2042 game ☹️ When I launch the app it says it's connecting to the servers, but always fails to connect. It then shows an error dialog saying "Connection timeout". It also shows "Error code: 1:86001S:66003S:-8917511980:0B" as seen in the attached file. It gives me the option to press "Close" or "Retry". Clicking either results in the game trying to connect and failing in the same way. So I can't get into the game.I've tried all the connectivity help suggestions. I've completely disabled my firewall. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game. Still no go. Help!

Same issues i guess nobody cares =/.

I am repairing it seems there was an update. Hopefully it will work !

I also tried the repair and still no good. Let me know how it goes for you, I hope you have better luck!

@mindBicycle It did work for me. I repaired it and after repair it asked me for an update. After the update i closed the app and launched it again and it worked.Best regards, FaryStar !

I only simply change my graphic card and done...i use RYX 4070 and change with my old 1660 and wait for the Rma warranty

Hi @FarystarLovesBF1,

I see that you replied in multiple threads about similar issues. However, the error codes that other fellow players share, are different. Could you mention which error code you got?

Did you get the message that the connection timed-out, or that the game was just not able to connect?

Hey @waewaepondpond,

Could you perform an EA app recovery and see if you still have the issue?

@OmarAssassinPR i did get multiple issues 1 week ago, pc shutting down, blue screen errors, game/windows freezes during game.
It seemed my PSU got issues.
Used an 850 Watt PSU at a rtx4090 , i9 13900k , with lot of fans , aio ect ect .
Lets say , it was a "bit" to much for this PSU at some power peaks !!!

Hahahaha 😉

Cheers

PS did buy seasonic atx3.0 psu 1000watt , no more issues !!! (10 year warranty <--- LETS GOOOOO)

I have the same issue, Came here to get answers, but only see other people with same issue. Every answer I managed to find did not help me.
I have tried restarting my PC, Restarting EA, Restarting my router, Ran both EA and Battlefield as Admin, tried repairing Battlefield, Cleared Cache, even Reinstalling EA and Battlefield and I still get the same issue. All my friends are playing without any issue?
