NOT FIXED : BF2042 and BF 1 connection troubles

Starting from october 11, 2023 i have troubles with my BF2042 - error says that im lost connection to EA servers and this always happen after 3 - 5 mins of playing. After that i can only solve problem with this error repeated emerging only by restart a game, but if i start playing again, this will happen. 

From the start of playing BF2042 and BF 1 i have same problems, that happend in a 1 - 2 days - i can't connect to any server with empty slots on a first try. 

For now, in BF2042, im waiting about 5 or 6 tries to connect to sessions, that meets me with blackscreen and disconnecting-like sound, then im need to start new search from the menu. This was not happend in a first day, but more im playing - it getting worse and stoped at described "5 or 6 tries"

For the last time im played BF 1, im started from 2 or 3 tries to connect, but at the end im always meet situation, when im need to skip about 8 tries with "EA connection lost" error and on 9th try im playing something like "gambling" - game connecting me to the server, BUT :
If im lucky, i'll play one time and after game ends, im need to repeat all this ramble
If im not lucky, my game will stuck in infinite loading screen with any possibility to leave it, but restart a game

Some more strange things with both of the games :
In BF2042 i can't connect to the server, if there any empty slot, through my friends, whose squad im entered - game just do nothing and keep me in menu
In BF 1 for the long time i can skip this "connection tries" with my friendlist, if i connect to the server through them, but in the end this way doesn't help

So i don't know how to deal with it and yeah, your "live chat" section doesn't give me possibility to choose any platform, that means i can't discuss about this problems 

P.S. Still recieving "Unable to connect to EA servers" with 1:468882297O:-468592 1B error code

    You have an extremely stable connection to the game servers. There's no packet loss and the ping time is stable.

    I'm not sure why you're being disconnected.

    Try looking for an ip address with EA in the address. This should be the login server. Try running a traceroute to the EA login server. Look for the EA address when you first open 2042 and are starting the game.

    The traceroute to the game server looks good!

  • I tried something like that and seen very rare drops to 2k+ ms, but this do nothing to my game. Now i can play like before, idk how it fixed, but thing with multiple reconnects staying 

  • Uhh, it's not. Tried to play again - same problem. After that tried to route EA app and seen this :

    @shironoir_NSD Looks like 100% packet loss on the last hop to the game server. That will definitely cause disconnect issues. It looks like a problem on Amazon's side.

    I also noticed the game server ping is higher because you're being connected to a game server in the United States.
