Yup, not fixed yet and no word on it

Keep getting unknown error code 1:85009S I'm able to play around 2 games before getting this error message and after that I can't even stay at the main menu for more then 10 seconds before it kicks me again and is persistent for the rest of the night.

On PS5.

I know, i made it lol

I had another chat today, this is how it went.

Thank you for contacting EA HELP, my name is Jason, may I start with your first name please? 
 (10/17/2025, 5:29:38 PM): Hi Jason, *********is my name 
Jason (10/17/2025, 5:30:05 PM): Hey *******. Nice to meet you. 
Jason (10/17/2025, 5:30:21 PM): Please allow me a moment to check the previous conversation so that I can assist you accordingly. 
 (10/17/2025, 5:31:39 PM): thanks, that would be helpful so I dont have to explain everything again. I will just update you on the current status. 
 (10/17/2025, 5:34:49 PM): As you can see on the history, each time I contacted support, they ended up saying there is an issue and we are working on it. This issue has been happening since the beta...people reported a month ago during the beta, and it was not fixed on release. Now the forum is full of people that can't play the game, it has been a week after release and it still has not been fixed and not even announced on Twitter. 
The CM that replied on the post on EA forum. stopped replying 5 days ago. not even a comment "we are still looking into it, etc"

 (10/17/2025, 5:37:44 PM): people are angry not only because it has been a month after the beta, and a week after release and still it has not been fixed, but because of the lack of updates we received.

on twitter they post about issues in game, we are working on it etc...but not a single mention about this issue 
 (10/17/2025, 5:40:26 PM): I know they are not fixing it not because they don't want, but because they have no idea how to fix it, which is ok. But we need a post on twitter or on the web knowing the devs are looking into it seriously. Not a CM that asks for some files, and then disappears for a week without a single udpate. 
 (10/17/2025, 5:42:20 PM): I know it is not your fault, I also work in CS and it sucks to have this kind of tickets, but I hope you understand that we paid 70 usd for something we can't play, some people (me included) took days off to play on release, which sucks because we could not. 
Jason (10/17/2025, 5:49:13 PM): Thanks for describing the issue. 
Jason (10/17/2025, 5:49:50 PM): I would like to informed you that,  I just discussed this with my team and this seems to be something we need to take in consideration, thank you so much for letting us know about this concern, what I will be doing here to help you better is I will be reporting this issue on your behalf so that our game team can investigate this for you. 
Jason (10/17/2025, 5:50:01 PM): I'll get this checked and in the meantime I would also suggest you to please visit our AHQ and if you find any similar issue please upvote it so that it can be highlighted. - https://forums.ea.com/ 
 (10/17/2025, 5:51:26 PM): ok, i appreciate it, and this is exactly the answer I got a few days ago...if I don't see any updated after the weekend, what's the next thing I can do? 
 (10/17/2025, 5:51:30 PM): can I ask for a refund? 
Jason (10/17/2025, 5:51:54 PM): As this will be investigated by our game team I won't be able to promise you any time frame on this and I really do not want to mislead you on this by providing any incorrect time frame.

 (10/17/2025, 5:54:19 PM): that issue was posted the same day it happened, but this issue that has been happening for over a week, just because it is not affecting everyone, it is being kicked for later, that is not good
