Hi @Rokebo73 ,
A good summary of all the things you can do to try and solve connectivity problems (assuming it our side and not EA's).
If you want to see which hop has problems in your connection, you can also do a TRACERT on the IP address (or DNS name) of the server in CMD. It is good up to 30 hops.
Cheers
Here we go again...
Persistence data connection problem. Nothing has changed in my connection. EA can blame the users all it wants, this instability simply does not make any sense.
Oh well, life goes on.
Nothing new from EA. They just don't care about making their games actually playable. All they care about is getting our money. But that will change for future EA games since a lot of people (myself included) will never buy anything from EA again
Community ManagerHi all,
If you are experiencing connection issues right now, the teams are aware of it and investigating. We're tracking it in this thread.
Actually, today is a good example.
EA is saying its servers are all ok, meanwhile there is a huge spike in people unable to connect to BF 2042 when looking at downdetector.com . So there is a huge disconnect between what EA sees and what the users are experiencing. No wonder this instability never gets fixed since they think everything is fine.
Unless they know there is a problem and they are not acknowledging it. I can't believe that would the case though.
Meanwhile at EA.....
Thanks for the update. I will keep an eye on the other thread then.
Good to know I am not crazy after all but sorry to hear others are having the same problem.
I hope EA will provide a post-mortem as to what happened. I would really love to understand these connectivity issues.
@RedneckWreckTom Of course they know. They are not acknowledging it because that would mean they would admit it's their fault. Which is something EA doesn't do. Their servers probably need upgrading but that costs money. And why would they spend money on that when they can just apologise for the thousand time since they arent held accountable for anything.
Hi Guys,
I think that corporations in general rarely admit to anything being their fault. It is not something specific to EA.
That being said, EA a few years back was voted worst corporation in America and lost a lot of goodwill from gamers. Eventually their inability to address ongoing connectivity issues will hurt their bottom line when players desert them.
It is kind of sad though. You could have an amazing game turn into a terrible experience because your programmers aren't able to create a stable environment to connect to...
Update: fixed on my side. Let's see how stable it is.
The number of problems reported on downdetector.com is going down as well.
So, it should be on the mend.
See you online.
