Won't allow me to get into any online lobbies despite being connected to the internet, the EA servers and having crossplay enabled in the settings. I can even make my own lobbies but I just can't join a random one, open or invite only. I have no idea on how to fix this, tried verifying the game files, clearing download cache and even uninstalled and reinstalled the game but to no luck. Anyone know what to do?

I'm having the exact same problem on Steam - Champions Edition version.
It's been happening for a while now - happened a few weeks ago, then it was ok again and then it started to happen again this week - and every time I open the game, I get stuck on this screen:
The only way for me to get through this screen is if I:
- close the game.
- set Steam to Offline Mode.
- open the game.
- after I'm in the game main menu, I set Steam to Online Mode again.
- in the game, I click on 'Retry Connection'
Then I can play normally, BUT.. I just could NOT join any cross play lobby this weekend - I kept getting this error:
If I would turn cross play OFF, then I can join online lobbies just fine, but I'm racing only against Steam players - which obviously reduces the available public lobbies and the total number of drivers.
I already did the following:
- Checked the game's files integrity
- Uninstalled, then reinstalled the game, from scratch (even deleting all of the files under "C:\Users\[USERNAME]\Documents\My Games\F1 22", to make sure the game would be reinstalled with its default/original configs
- Reinstalled Steam itself
- Checked my internet speed (it's all normal and with pretty good ping, download and upload speeds)
- Checked my antivirus (Avast!) for permissions and/or blocked apps
- Checked Windows Firewall settings
- Did a DNS Flush
Everything else is working just fine on my computer - I can download/upload files, live stream (which I do on Twitch, almost daily), play other games online, both on Steam (like GTA V, PUBG and Ring Of Elysium, for example) and on other platforms (like Rocket League through Epic Games, for example).
The problem only happens on F1 22.
Get Gran Turismo!
it’s multiplayer actually works.
I’m on a PS4 and the only game that fails to get online is F1 22… like an 80% fail rate
root cause of the issue is evident.
ea/codemasters game servers are not up to par
and/or they’re amateurs in this field and they need to outsource the online networking to a professional third party to do it for them.

Another week has gone and I'm still getting the same error when trying to join Cross Play lobbies (playing on a PC, from Steam, Champions Edition game version)..
Are you guys actually working on this, checking it out, trying to figure it out (actually fix it), etc - anything?
If so, give us some (any) feedback, please?
Thanks!
I have exactvly the same problem,
but i havent thiis problem before 19 october and after this probleme coming, idk why but how can we pay without this problem
@Shaleen972 @jenny_a_m
The only way to play online for now (for people having this issue) is to turn off cross play in the game options.
But this NEEDS a fix ASAP and/or at least some acknowledgement from EA - right now, there's none of it..
=/
I have this issue on PS5.
Get the error PP7 or PP15.
If i do join a lobby, short time i am then like disconnected and the others in the lobby are gone and I'm the only one in the lobby.
If i ever do get to join its if there is like 2 cars in lobby.
This is regardless of the hosts pc/console etc.
Had no issues on F121
Same error here
I have the PC game (Steam) and PS4 game. Both, are connected to the same net
PC starts showing this error code tonight and check all the stuff people mentioned above (except reinstalling the game)
PS4 works fine
PC can connect multi if I switch off cosplay or if I try to connect a game with crossplay OFF.
Also, I can start my own multiplayer game and invite people, no matter crossplayis ON, but the black screen creating game start is toooooo long now
Recording a video showing this. Happy to teat what you want to fix this issue
(I receive invitations from friends with the same result, error close PM7)
I have done another test
When creating a session for multiplayer game, if I do it with the crossplay option activated, the waiting time until the game is created and I can make adjustments in its menu does not currently go below 20 seconds (a lot more, actually, as seen in the video I attached earlier)
If I disable the crossplay option, the time it takes for the game to get to the same menu is... the blink of an eye.
I have tried to use the same DNS that my console has (main, the primary of my Internet provider, secondary the primary of Google: 8.8.4.4)
The result is still the connection error.
As requested by other users, I would like to receive some response from the staff indicating whether or not they are doing something to solve this problem.
Infinite thanks Bro, i deleite the * Avast and my crossplay works, you're the BEST i wish the BEST for rober
