I'm experiencing the EXACT same error code (1:86001S:66003S:468882297O:0B) since October 9th purchase on Steam.
Can confirm this is NOT client-side:
- Verified all game files (100%)
- Repaired EAAntiCheat
- Changed DNS to 8.8.8.8
- Cleared EA App cache
- Disabled firewall/antivirus
- Tried everything mentioned in this thread
EA Support Case #225201907 opened and escalated to backend authentication team. They confirmed it's an EA backend bug affecting Steam players specifically.
The issue is with EA server authentication rejecting properly linked Steam-EA accounts. No amount of local troubleshooting will fix this - it requires EA backend team intervention.
I've been told to monitor this forum thread for official EA/DICE response and updates via social channels.
Requesting EA official acknowledgment and timeline for fix. Multiple Steam players affected since launch.
Region: Brazil | Platform: Steam PC | Days unable to play: 4+
Hey, is there any chance you could ask the EA Support Advisors for an ETA? It has been 4 full days with no updates and all my tickets have gone straight to bots.
I have the exact same issue you do, down to the bone, and am willing to provide any troubleshoot info they might need to resolve this error.
