Re: "Connection Failed" Error 1:85008S:4688822970:0Q

I tried verifying steam files (it was missing 3 even though I just dloaded)

Tried turning off anti-virus AND made firewall exceptions.

Dloaded the game on EA app as well.

Every 3-7 mins the game gets "Connection Failed" But I see all streamers playing just fine and not a lot of people seem to be complaining about connection either.

edit: the first time opening the game lasts the longest. once I get the connection error the first time its errors faster.

Same, dont know what is different about my PC, been trying to play for hours. Nobody knows how to fix been looking everywhere. 

same problem

Also happening to me, game is unplayable.

Same for me, i'll not buy the game with this issues

I think I solved this for myself by bypassing my Adguard home DNS server, if you are using Adguard or Pihole or something similar switch your DNS server on your device to google and it'll probably work.

I loved that i have that error when i'm using an encrypted DNS (Mullvad), but the moment i moved to an unencrypted one (Google) i can't even get past the secure boot error. So now idek what that secure boot error is even about lmao and why it changes depending on what DNS service i'm using.

I had the same issue. PIA VPN was running but with split tunnel enabled and by default apps bypass the VPN and I could get into the game but had the network error. I disabled VPN and I started getting the secure boot error.

i straight up didn't have secure boot enabled lol. make sure you do. i think something about encrypted DNS is making it so the anti cheat can't do the secure boot check straight away, but eventually realises that check didn't happen, and disconnects you.

this was my exact problem 👑

Yeah I didn't have secure boot enabled either so I was surprised I was able to play earlier at all

Seems like the only fix for everyone who has tried all the basic problem fixes while searching every thread imaginable for a solution, like changing DNS/VPN settings, secure boot, firewall, reinstalling all EA apps and anti-cheat, and so on, is to reformat/factory reset which is really unsavory for just 1 game (or any battlefield really atp)

same! i cannot believe how incredibly bad EA screwed this up. using a VPN blocks secure boot notification.... ALSO letting us play the game for a few minutes when secure boot is REQUIRED. screw you EA.

I have done everything i can i enabled the boot, i have 771 up and 990 down with 2 ping network i updated and reinstall GPU software, i have checked to pc updates and rebooted my modem and i cant play without it kicking me every 5 mins once it kicks me i reboot the game find a match play then get kicked out 5 mins in and if i dont reboot the game itll just keep kicking me and not let me play wtf am i suppose to do lmao

Tried everything suggested. Still getting kicked. 

Some advice from the team would be great

I have not even made it into the menu before being told the connection failed. Repeated attempts at trying to find a fix with no success. 

Absolute clown show of a company, but in fairness, they have saved me the price of buying the game. 🤣

So I have an unexpected fix:

a friend of mine uses my EA acc occasionaly to play BF4. He was apparently in BF6 via EA Launcher while I tried to play via Steam. The servers got probably confused since "one account" tried to "connect twice" and just threw me out since he was already in the game.
I told him to play on his own acc and it now seams to work.

Hope this helps!

Nice haven’t played a match keep getting unknown error occurred check my internet connection starting to look like 2042s ghost haunting ea yea it is a beta but mate if early access was good in streamers view it shouldn’t be like this in the open beta 

thx

I was able to play ALL day yesterday without a problem but now i'm getting kicked nearly every match with unknown error and ''all players have been disconnected'', GG's EA.

Hope they fix it because thinking of pre-ordering ain't looking so good right now

Exactly same problem... No fix is working

Same issue, no fix (throw pc out the window?). Seen few ai-voiced vids telling to reset ipconfig, to rewrite dns in ipv4 settings. At this point i cant even play other BFs (app's timed out). I use VPN, but it doesnt work no matter if its on or off. No other soft could be messing with EA app or internet. Just play other good games. 

my theory EA server is full so they make us taste the game for about 5mnt then kicked us out and replace by others, the cycle continues.. only selected streamers and a few lucky peoples been kept by ea

I’m having the same problem but on xbox series, anyone knows a way to fix it?

I've tried everything and I am still getting this error. I don't even get to a menu or anything. When it says to hit [space] to continue and I do it just spins for about 5 seconds and then gives this to me.
