Battlefield I problem with connecting to multiplayer services (bought on Steam)

Hey, I have a problem with playing my BF I, which I bought on steam.

The game launches correctly, let's me play the campain, but not the multiplayer module. Each time I click `go online` button it starts connecting but it always fails. Sometimes I get this connection error.

I also own Battlefield V, which I bouth on EA Play app and everything works correctly there, so it can't be internet issue nor Anti-cheat problem( I believe games use the same one). I'm also sure that the game connects to my EA app correctly, I can see my profile avatar in game where `career` button is( but can't get any stats, because it requires the connection).

I tried reinstalling the game and clearing app cache but nothing worked.

PS.

My friend has the same problem, he also owns the game on Steam

    did you return the game to ea and buy it on Steam like I did? cus i have the same issue, and it started at the moment they pulled the game from my EA account page. Of course, I have to wait 14 days for a refund, and I feel like im being punished cus i can't play anything besides hosting my own games with bots. Nothing about matchmaking works at all. just wondering if they suck that bad

    https://www.softpedia.com/get/Network-Tools/Misc-Networking-Tools/Smart-Port-Forwarding.shtml Once you download it Open up the file and then run the setup If the launcher isn't launching try running as admin it's safe. Once you've done that . Right click in the empty menu and you will see create port fowarding create one that is UDP and another that is TCP Where it shows the ip delete it and paste in your own which you can find by doing ipconfig in cmd Once you did the command get where it shows ipv4 And copy that adress and paste it in the ip bar in the app.

    Are you able to share how you did it? I can't seem to find any information on smart port forwarding and how to set it up.

    Using a VPN worked for me although It causes high latency and lag. I also suffer from this problem still

    EDIT it seems that using the app smart port fowarding may have fixed my issues connecting to the servers you should try

    The issue with buying EA games on Steam is that causes the game to have double digital rights management (DRM). The game will have Steam DRM and EA DRM.

    It's best to buy EA games through the EA app.

    Check to see if your Steam account is linked to your EA account. Hopefully that will fix the connection issue.
