Dear EA/DICE Support Team,
My EA ID is xhk36, and I am a dedicated Battlefield 1 player from the Asia region. I am writing to urgently report the severe, ongoing DDoS-like attacks making Asia servers nearly unplayable since early March 2026 (starting around March 5 following the recent EAAntiCheat update).
Detailed Issue:
- All Asia servers (official and private, any player count from 1-64) suffer random high ping spikes (999+ ms), mass player disconnections, Error Code 1 on reconnect, and full server drops mid-match — often every few minutes.
- Attacks follow a clear pattern: heavily concentrated in East Asia daytime/afternoon/evening (approx. 11:00–24:00 UTC+8), with significantly fewer incidents after midnight — strongly indicating targeted, intentional DDoS.
- EU and NA servers remain mostly stable, confirming region-specific targeting (Asia-focused).
Player Impact: The Asia community is rapidly shrinking as players migrate to EU/NA servers (150–220 ms ping) or abandon the game. Long-time fans like myself (hundreds of hours invested) feel frustrated that an iconic title is being eroded without sufficient protection.
Requests:
- Prioritize DDoS Mitigation for Asia Servers — Investigate urgently and enhance protections (e.g., advanced traffic scrubbing, better regional routing, or partnerships with DDoS mitigation providers). Any improvements would restore fair play.
- Public Update/Statement — Please acknowledge the issue officially so the community knows it's being addressed.
- Promotions/Discounts on Classic Battlefield Series — Many veterans have waited years for sales on Battlefield 1, Battlefield V, etc. A timely discount event (e.g., during this difficult period) would boost morale, encourage returns, and show support for loyal players.
I can provide screenshots of ping logs, disconnect errors, and community discussions (from Reddit, X/Twitter, Bilibili videos) if needed. Many other Asian players experience the same and would back this report.
Thank you for your attention — Battlefield 1 remains a favorite, and we hope for a stable Asia experience soon.

P.S. Anyway, I really hope someone can help us. There are still over 1,000 players in China who love and stay active in this cyber World War I. We truly don't want to see this cyber WWI end like this—we haven't even witnessed its 10th anniversary yet 😭😭...
Repeated anti-cheat updates have mistakenly banned countless veteran players' accounts. The long-term lack of discounts means no fresh blood (new players) is being injected here anymore...
The game was already in a slow death spiral, and this DDoS attack—is it meant to completely destroy it?
My words here are already very mild, but players have "kindly greeted" EA's family members countless times...
So I plead once again to all players who still love Battlefield 1 and the Battlefield series: Help us! My single voice is too weak; we need more people speaking out. Only an ear-shattering cry can wake up EA. Comrades, the fight isn't over! Europeans, North Americans, Oceanians... friends from all over the world—we need your help! This is the battle for survival!
We've already launched a manpower server warming plan: 3-4 people join a random server, using human wave tactics to drain the despicable DDoS attackers' funds. Battlefield players, take action! EA team, stop pretending to be dead—GET MOVING!!!!!
无论如何,我很希望有人能够帮帮我们,在中国还有超过1000名玩家,仍然热爱并且活跃在这场赛博一战中,我们真的不愿意看着这场赛博一战就此结束,我们还没看到他的十周年😭😭……一次又一次的反作弊更新,已经不知道误封了多少老玩家的账号,长期的不打折,这里不再有新鲜的薯条(划掉)血液注入……本来已经陷入了慢性死亡当中,这次的ddos攻击,难道是想彻底毁灭这款游戏吗?我的话语己经非常温和,但玩家们已经不知道多少次“亲切问候”EA的家人……
所以我在这里再次恳求各位仍然热爱战地一,热爱战地这个系列玩家的玩家
帮帮我们!我一个人的声音太过微弱,我们需要更多人的发声,只有振聋发聩的声音,才能将EA叫醒,同志们,抗争尚未结束,欧洲的,北美的,大洋洲的……来自全世界各地的朋友,我们需要你的帮助!存亡之战,在此一役!我们已经启动了人力暖服的计划,3,4个人去加入随机一个服务器,用人海战术消耗可恶的ddos攻击者的资金,战地玩家们,行动起来!EA团队,不要再装死了,你给我行动起来!!!!!
