Unable to connect to games

I am on Xbox Series S with a 1 tb expansion card.  The game is on the internal storage.  Over the last 2 weeks, whenever I try to get in to a game server, it kicks me out to the home screen.  

It would act like I found a game, then return me to the main screen.  After about 7 or 8 tries I would finally load.  I have tried all of the modes (rush, conquest, breakthrough) and have the same result on all of them.

Any suggestions?

  • HI @Elemu5 With PC we could try slightly different steps:

    • Run the System File Checker tool then Check for Windows and GPU updates  
    • Check for other applications that may be limiting EA App or Game performance
    • EA App's Cache (Top Left Menu > Help > App Recovery) 
    • Repair/Verify your game based on which client you are launching from
      • EA App - Repair (My Collection > Tile Dots > Repair)
      • EGS - Repair (Library > Tile dots > Manage > Verify)
      • Steam - Verify in your library
    • Connection and Advance Connection Guides 
    • Untick the options in LAN Settings (make sure nothing is checked under Proxy Server) 
    • Change DNS settings (You can use the public google DNS primary: 8.8.8.8, secondary: 8.8.4.4, unless there is a different DNS you would rather use)

  • @Tonedrink Having the exact same problem on PC. Pushing 3 weeks now. Began the day EA switched from the Origin app for me. Been looking for fixes ever since.

    Hi @Tonedrink When you have a moment lets try the following steps and check if this continues?

    • Quit the game and other running apps from Quick Resume (For Series X|S consoles)
    • Remove any connected device, or additional USB's from the console then restart the Xbox and check
    • Check for updates 
    • Try the steps in our Connection and Advance Connection Guides 
    • Open you're Xbox NAT Type
    • Change DNS settings (You can use the public google DNS primary: 8.8.8.8, secondary: 8.8.4.4, unless there is a different DNS you would rather use)  
    • Persistent Storage 
      • Go to settings > Select Device & Connections > Then Blue-Ray 
      • Select Persistent Storage > Clear Persistent Storage 
    • Alternate Mac: 
      • Go to settings > Select General  > Then Network settings 
      • Go to advanced settings > Alternate Mac address > Select clear 
      • Select restart

  • Hi, I have the same issue on PS5

    Enter to the match takes 10-15 attempts, usually it disconnects with bip sound without any error message.

    I changed DNS as you suggested previously and proxy settings off.

    I have this problem for over a year.

    internet download speed 500, upload 12.

    What should I do?
