Xbox series X can't connect to the EA servers Error: 1:4688822970:100J:1004G

I pre ordered the Battle filed 2042 gold edition, for xbox series x via the Microsoft store. This includes the early access on launch day.

But when I load the game it can't connect to the EA servers

Error: 1:4688822970:100J:1004G

I also have Xbox game pass, which should also give me early access

I have tried everything:

- restarting the game
- restarting the console (including pulling the power)
- Disconnecting and reconnecting the console to wifi

- Resetting router

- Disconnecting the router the direct fibre line comes in on
- uninstalling and reinstalling the game and add on packages

I don't know what else to try.

I'm so annoyed, so far it just feel like I've just wasted £80+

I can't find any useful information on online, sites or forums, on how to solve this issue.

No one else I know seems to be having this problem

    I worked out how to resolve it.

    It seems EA’s servers didn’t like the public IP my ISP had issued me.

    Fortunately im not on a fixed IP, so if i turn off the router and disconnect the data cable for 10 - 15 mins, when reconnected it and powered back up it’s issued with a new public IP address.

    This resolved the issue for me
