Stuck on 'Communicating with online service' at startup of the game

Console: PS5

Hi,

When I start the F1 22 game, I can't get past through the 'Communicating with online services' loading screen, right after the intro video.

What I have tried:

- Unplug the power cable of the PS5 for 5 minutes and try again

- Use my mobile hotspot as network

- Restart the router

- Delete the game save file and start the game

- Delete the game and install again

- Unlink Steam and PSN from my EA account and try again, now only linked with PSN

- A lot of combinations for what is noted above

Now the weird thing is, when I login to an account of a friend of mine on the same PS5 and start the game, I can perfectly start the game and play online...

It looks like my account is bugged and I can not do anything myself to fix this?

Worth noting:

I was playing F1 22 on PC only at first from Steam, until my colleagues started a league on Playstation. Then I bought the game for PS5 and linked the PSN account to this same EA account.

I have loading issues since I linked my PSN account to my EA account.

Hope someone can help me, I have a league race every monday and I can not login to my friend's account to play in that league temporary every time ☹️

Kind Regards,

LuckzR

    @Spoodymeneer Yeah but it doesn't really matter if EA doesn't give any help to us about a possible fix... So annoying

    It has been 2 weeks already, still no answer from EA...

    For now I have created a new PSN account and a new EA account so I can play.

    EA if you read this, ^ this is not a solid solution and I hope you can help us with this problem.

    Hey mate,

    Has there been any updates or fixes on this issue? I have the same problem 

  • I have the same issue, did you already fix it? What I did is that I created a new EA account and at the beginning, it worked. But, just after two days, the problem showed up again...
