11 years agoOk I found this on EA website. I've had this issue for 2 days now and I tried this and it worked perfectly! Hope this helps.
If you're having issues on a peer-to-peer connection:
Some EA games, like much of the FIFA series, use a peer-to-peer connection, or a connection shared between you and one or more other players--rather than say, on a hosted-server like with most Battlefield titles--for online gameplay and matchmaking.
We've noticed that players with their routers set to use Internet Protocol version 6, or IPv6, for their connections tend to have compatibility issues with players using the more common IPv4.
- For instance, if one player is on an already-poor IPv6 connection then all players are usually disconnected.
PC players can change their system's Internet Protocol version by:
- Opening the Control Panel then searching for adapter.
- In your search results under Network and Sharing Center, click View network Connections.
- Right-click your active network connection and select Properties.
- In Properties you should see check boxes for both Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and Internet Protocol version 6 (TCP/IPv6).
- If you've been having frequent connectivity problems and IPv6 is checked, uncheck it.
- If you've been having frequent connectivity problems and IPv4 isn't checked, check it.
- In Properties you should see check boxes for both Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and Internet Protocol version 6 (TCP/IPv6).
- You can find out more on IPv6 from Windows Support's IPv6 FAQ, as well as a number of other helpful IPv6 walkthroughs.
- If you continue to have connectivity issues, contact your router manufacturer or internet service provider for more connectivity help.
- If you experience new connectivity issues following the disabling of IPv6 on your PC, re-enable it to get rid of your new issues.
For some more console-specific tips and tweaks to try out:
- Xbox players can find helpful connection articles through Xbox Support, mostly under the Xbox LIVE section.
- PlayStation players can find both Wired- and Wireless-specific support from Sony.
