    Gamertag Martin090867

    Changed dns settings to 8888 / 8844

    Is bt

    Port 3074

    Rebooted xb and router several times

    Cleared alternative wireless mac address

    OS version 10.0.26100.1968

    All updates done.

    Tried hotspot connection

    Created new squad, that didn't work either

    2 chats, both closed by ea as fixed - they weren't I think they were timed out.

    Probably the same as everyone else the error message reads - in order to access the online features for this title you must be signed in to xbox network and you must be signed in to ea servers......

    Updated Xbox manually but Still getting stuck on white screen again 🙄 Tried 3 or 4 times but Looks like factory reset is only option but not holding out much hope 🙄🙄 

  • @MikeyMedz Is it on FC 24?
    Last week when I discovered a problem my first problem was when I started the game in was stuck in the white loading screen and nothing happend at all. I then factory reset my console and then everything worked again normally expect the error to access the EA servers but I could play offline.

    Yesterday when Microsoft released the new update to solve the bug regarding connecting to EA servers with WiFi, I updated the console manually and found the update ”Settings > System > updates and after it was updated I started fc 24 again and finally it works with the EA servers with WiFi. Everything is good now for me and everything works now as normally again 🙂
  • @MIIICHKOO Yea on FC24. Ok that’s worth knowing I’ll do the factory reset after work and see what happens. Just didn’t want to loose my career mode but tbf it’s doing my head in so is what it is. Good to hear it’s all resolved for you tho 👍🏻

    Maybe try reset console without removing all data. I did that at the beginning when I couldn't run any game after August update. It helped with the "stuck" issue, but of course not with issue with online games. Last xbox patch resolved this issue.
