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
