F1 23 error code PM65539 persists beyond all solutions - can't use multiplayer

ProductF1 23
PlatformPC
Please specify your platform model: PC
Summarize your bug: When trying to join any multiplayer session, I receive an error code named 'PM65539', which in practice prevents me from using any of the game's multiplayer features that require entering a lobby. I have tried every fix I can find, to no avail, and other people reporting this issue have still not been offered concrete solutions, even ones requiring a compromise. For example, the most commonly offered solution is to disable crossplay, but for numerous people, including myself, even this has not helped.
What is your 16 digit Report Code? SJSX-JBPB-HDXE-VCSE
Can you please provide the name of your current internet service provider? Glide/Sky (issue has occurred whilst using both)
Which area is the bug/glitch in? Multiplayer
Did you have cross-play enabled? Yes
How can we find the bug ourselves? Attempt to join any multiplayer lobby
What happens when the bug occurs? I try to join any multiplayer session, and will get 10-15s of loading screen before being met with the error code PM65539 and the text "Failed to join the session. No response from host." I then have to select "Okay" and will be returned to the 'Multiplayer Grand Prix' screen.
What do you expect to see? Being able to join multiplayer lobbies

This issue and related error code has persisted in various forms for at least two game cycles now, with (to my knowledge) only temporary/compromising solutions offered, such as disabling crossplay and antivirus, none of which can be relied upon to solve the issue. The fact is that people either cannot fully enjoy one of the game's core and most popular modes, or like in my case simply cannot play said mode at all. We are long overdue an actual, concrete solution to this problem, but having said that, I will take any solution I can get so that I can actually play the game I payed for, so any help is greatly appreciated.

So far I have tried: Disabling crossplay (which has it's own issue of preventing me from even searching for online lobbies), Disabling antivirus, Whitelisting F1 23 from firewall protections, Using a VPN on both my local and foreign networks, Updating all of my drivers on multiple occasions, Verifying game file integrity, and Reinstalling the game on both my existing and a new hard drive, all as yet to no avail.

    VPNs are and have always been unsupported configurations. I would say if your game works with a VPN, it is a connectivity issue on your everyday net connection.

  • Its a problem with EA's side as there is no logical reasoning , behind why f1 2021 and older are working , ever since ea took the servers its been messed up

    It is possible your anti-virus is causing an issue here, either whitelist the game or temporarily turn off your anti-virus and then retry playing.

    Thanks.


    I have a issue where my friend list in game is just emty while I had over 50 friends. When I go check on the ea app I see I do still have the ea friends and also on racing net but not on f1 23. Do you know a fix?

    I've been having the same problem and I've been following everything you said to do and nothing worked

    Can you help me?

  • That would make sense if i needed a vpn to play on non crossplay lobbies , I have a PlayStation that i also got the game and installed it on , i still get the error when crossplay is on , while it works with no crossplay , crossplay services work on games like fc24 with no vpn required

    using the same platforms and same internet 

    it clearly is an issue with accessibility for different regions on EA's F1 side , if it wasnt , not a single EA game would work with crossplay

    this has been going on for the past 3 years
