BF1 (PC) Can Not Connect to On Line Multiplayer Games
After the most recent updates of both BF1 and Origin I am unable to play a multiplayer game on line. I am on a PC, Windows 10, Fall Creators Update. I am using a wired connection to a router. I have tried all of the initial and more complex technical troubleshooting solutions including flushing the DNS cache, rebooting the router, the computer, ensuring all ports are properly forwarded and more. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Origin including the registry keys. There is no difference. Origin starts and logs in with no difficulty. Other games can be played on line (non-EA) are fine. But BFI and BF1 CTE will not connect on line. Suggestions appreciated.
I have no other EA software on any other machine and as I have a download cap of 130 GB/mo, I'll not blow it by downloading 64 GB of BF1 for that again on another machine And with a max speed of 10 Meg down, 64 GB takes nearly 24 hours to download. Not in this universe.
I did try to log in again through Origin.again yesterday and the game itself updated and ran. I was able to get on line. But it should not be that hard in the first place. I should not have had to reformat my drive, reload my operating system and download the damn game again to solve the problem that no one seems to have a clue how to fix. That others are experiencing it seems to suggest there is an issue here. I just happen to be skilled enough to use the nuclear option and patience enough to restore my system. That I had to do that does not give me much confidence in EA, at all.
