Re: Error code: 1:86001S:66003S:-891751198O:0B

turns out the issue was with my ea account (friends list in the ea app not loading) and i had to contact someone from ea help to get them to fix it on their end, the issue isnt with the players connection

when contacting ea help make sure you use the chat option and not the email option, the emails are absolutely useless and every day someone new was emailing me with the same tips that i had already gone through

in the chat with ea help i told tell them that i found a thread from 2021 about the ea app not loading users friends list where the solution was to have an ea employee fix something on their end, they ran me through some basic tips regarding changing dns, using a mobile hotspot, port forwarding, etc. these tips didnt help because the issue wasnt with my connection, there was something wrong with my ea account, someone on ea's side fixed whatever was wrong, i dont know what specifically was wrong but this issue has been happening to people since 2021

this is the thread i found where the issue was first solved, but again they said that someone at ea fixed it, its not an issue with the player's connection:

  • Got a new computer and went to try out BF2042 and keep getting this error. I have EA Play and Xbox Ultimate Game Pass and they are linked. However, I bought BF2042 and the key code was for Origin.

     

    I have tried using both my EA Play account (Gmail) and Xbox account. I have repaired game files, I have cleared cache, uninstalled/reinstalled, and I have unlinked my Xbox account from EA Play and still having this issue.

     

    I contacted EA Support which was a joke. The guy basically gave me links to click on and follow the instructions. That did nothing. He basically said he would send the information to his team and once they get enough complaints they will get a fix. So, basically, I need to wait for an official patch before this is fixed (if it even fixes it!).

     

    Anything else I can do or try? Or do I have a broken game? FYI, I never had this issue on my older rig (It's been 1 weeks since I've upgraded).

  • Just got this dreaded connection error today. Anyone have any luck besides the first guy fixing it ?

    Same problem here. Last time I did uninstall/install the game and it did worked, but I am not gonna do that everytime with this multi GB game...

    Can EA please check what is the core problem, as I had the same error just couple of months ago. And I was playing for half a year with no errors.

    Yes go to ea.com and sign in.it should ask you what platform you're using and just sign in with whatever you used for your game

    I USE CAPSLOCK FOR YOUR ATTENTION!!!

    I JUST SIGNED IN TO EA.COM THEN GO BACK TO 2042 AND IT WORKS FINE.

    BUT THEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN, I TRIED FOR ABOUT 5 MORE MINUTES (BY PRESSING "OK" BUTTON) AND IT WORKED AGAIN.

    IT SEEMS LIKE JUST WAIT.

    SO CONFUSING LOL

    This Got it solved for me, be posting if it happens again.

    Thanks!

  • After the game was updated, I never got it again and it's very frustrating to buy a game and not play, EA doesn't help at all, support is very weak every day, the same thing repeats itself and they don't fix the game, regrettably!!
