Connection issues - Now Fixed 4/27/2015

About goddamn time this became sticky!

1. Xbox 360

2. Starting with failed to connect to EA online. Then connecting to EA online would cause connection to XBL to fail, or drop mid game. (on a completely open and port forwarded Xbox).. Then most recently, everyone I know got: "Couldn't find any games, please try again." And now "Failed to connect to EA online" again.

3. Starting about a year ago, then a few weeks or months between the changes. Most recently, it has been working fine. About the last month, till this most recent outage. 

4. Located in Washington D.C.

5. What the hell are you guys doing?

Xbox 360

There isn't an ERROR message there is an information message:

NO GAMES AVAILABLE AT THIS MOMENT

WE COULDN'T FIND ANY GAMES, PLEASE TRY AGAIN

Since Thursday 23 April

Australia

The "connect" happens very quickly, then I know I will get the above message.

It happens when you select either "Quick Match" or "Play Air Superiority"

"early in the week"?!? This has been a problem for at least three days now, and that's not taking into consideration the months of connectivity problems that have plagued this game. The servers have been unavailable for long periods for months now. At least we can actually reach the servers now, but what good is that if they won't initiate any new games?

I'm sure that I needent remind you that unlike most of your games, Battlefield 1943 does not have a local element, i.e. it can only be played on EA servers. If the servers are not functioning, the game becomes completely broken.

The least you can do is offer an explanation as to why this game has been having problems for so long, why it has now refused to host any games at all, why it takes EA so long to respond to the server problems– especially when the game cannot be played without them–, and the steps EA will take to correct the problems and ensure that they don't return.

Don't you owe us at least that much?

My specific info, as requested.

3. April 23, 2015 since 12PM EST

5. Verizon ISP - all other games work fine online; already cleared cache and network/router all 100% working condition. Contacting friends from different parts of the world result in same NO GAMES AVAILABLE error. I don't know their locations or setup but we've all played for years.

3.Started as the "Sorry cannot find any games" (or something to this effect) since yesterday has changed to "Failed to connect to EA online"

5.I understand this is an "ancient game" by EA financial standards, but there is a large die hard community playing it on a daily basis.  I have 8 core friends that play this and several have messaged me asking me what is happening.  This is an online ONLY game, no campaign mode (there is a tutorial that can still be played though :0)... I sincerely hope 1943 is not slated for the dust bin.
