Game stuck on "Communicating with online services"

Hi

Having downloaded the game via the EA app, whenever I try and access anything online, I get stuck with the "Communicating with online services" message in the top left corner. I cannot play any online game modes or accept any invites to these, as I cannot access the mail menu

I have done the following to fix with no avail:

  • Repair Game
  • Uninstall/reinstall game 
  • Flush DNS and change DNS settings
  • Log out/Log in to EA account.

Does anyone know what may be causing this error? The game is basically unplayable because of this.

    Just wanted to share how I was able to get the infinite "Communicating with online services" message to clear since EA support was no help. Turns out a corrupt Co-Op career invitation a friend sent was locking up my account and since I couldn't access the mailbox to clear the invitation I was stuck. Doing a network disconnect/reconnect while the game was loaded would allow me to access some online function like F1 World events but the player hub and mailbox would still lock the game up. What finally worked for me was closing the game removing the friend that sent the request and then loading back into the game. This allowed me to access the mailbox and clear the invitation that was causing the issue. Everything has been working great since this. Hope this helps get you back online.

    I have had the same problem with f1 24 and f1 25. It seems a lot of people have been having this problem for years now, with no mention of a fix from EA
