    Hi EA,

    I still received a DNF yesterday, prior to closing the last thread. I play on PC. This would be the 7th DNF issue in the last 3 months. I don't compete for the top 100 and play All-Pro skill. I average +/- 16,000 points per match. A DNF drops me from All Star to Pro; difference of 10,000 coin, midzone pack, and 10 s3 trophies.

    @FriendlyFire1126 

    The fix for Solo Battles above is not related to DNFs, but the inability to play the 13th game. DNFs are caused by a break in connection. If this is the 7th one in 3 months, you're nearly getting one every week so I'd like to get this fixed for you. 

    I need you to send me a UO Trace either here (BLOCK OUT THE FIRST 2 IP ADDRESSES FOR PRIVACY) or via a direct message so we can see how your connection is reaching our servers. It's going to show us packet loss, ping variance, and average ping time too. It's possible your connection is being interrupted somewhere when it's bouncing off a server site, so it could be completely out of your control despite having a great connection.

    The UO Trace tool can be downloaded via the link below for free from our website:

    Obviously this update did not work, after I won my 12th game it said I got 0 points but I backed out of it and it got added, so then I went to play my 13th but it went to the leaderboard and I couldn’t finish my last game to get to mvp rank.

    @EA_Blueberry I am unable to play 13th game. Finally have the score to get in top 100 (if get average score on last game). Finished 12th game last night. Logged in today to play 13th game, and not even listed as an option. EA support chat indicated this is known issue and to watch for in game update or twitter... Nashville72

    @EA_BlueberrySo this week, DNF first set of team. That DNF already put me into All-Pro. Regardless; still grind the rest of the weekly schedule. 

    Here's a new one; I wasn't able to play game 13; after game 12 the weekly review was already in progress.

    'I guess I will run your 'tracer' later. If it mattered; I racked up 50 house rules W this week w/o a single drop or disconnect issue.

    This happened to me on PS5 the last two weeks. Unable to play game 13. Is there a fix going out for this on next gen?

    It could have happened to me last week as well, although I just noticed it this week.  If I'm looking like top 100 could happen, I keep playing through 13 games.  If it doesn't, like many people I just stop at 250k.  This is on PS4.  It appears the update helped some people and hurt some people.

    @EA_Blueberry Ran the UO trace. I took a screenshot and blacked out IP of the first 2 for privacy. I don't think I can attach files in the message option. Please advise.
