battlefield 1 can't play online

Since I got battlefield 1 on my ps4, I have been unable to play online. Whenever I try to join an online game I get this message: Server disconnected, you have lost connection to the session.

I have already contacted EA support and the case has been escalated to specialists but it has been taking a long time. I was hoping someone in the answer HQ could resolve my problem faster.

Update: Restarting the router and console didn't work, however, I got a chance to play the game at a friends house and it worked fine. It's strange though since my wifi is faster than his.

Can you get in touch with EA Advisors on this https://help.ea.com/en/contact-us/new/? Maybe there is some kind of issue with your EA Account.

Let us know how you are doing.

Hello @Awesomerulez1

Have you tried to restart your router? Power cycled (turned it off and turned it on again) you console? For PlayStation 4 you need to disconnect it from power supply for a few minutes before turning it on again to properly power cycle. Let us know how you are doing.

Cheers,

Hello @igonnabuym4

Can you try some troubleshooting steps from our article here on connectivity issues?

Opening corresponding TCP ports might also solve this.

I've been trying to get this issue resolved for about a month on PC mate, went through all of their trouble shooting steps even restarting routers etc just to say I had for one of there service people to tell me it's on their side and the "specialist team" is working on it.

My advice was and I quote "You should wait"

Hi Archi,

I've gone through lists of troubleshooting techniques sent on the chat (I have transcripts of them all.) I've done everything from opening ports, deactivating my anti virus, resting my router, starting a new admin account on my PC, disabling direct x 12, downloading packets of data for the EA chat guys. I really think I've done everything that they issue out to me. The thing that frustrated me was the comment simply "you must wait" after a month of troubleshooting with no lead time on when the issue will be resolved.

Thanks for trying to help Archi, I'm losing the will .

Have you tried to perform Clean Boot? Reinstalling the game might solve this. I know reinstalling the game can take a while, but it should fix all the conflicts in game files, if you have any.
