    Try the Twitter/Facebook support. They are very familiar with this issue and will resolve it for you.

@EA_Aljo Man I had some bouts but I tried all of that.

One by one in case I would narrow it down to a single solution and let you know. Unfortunately, it's still happening in all modes.

I also saw more errors stating that I lost my connection to the EA servers, that after maybe a long period of inactivity in the menus before launching a game, again. That does not bother me too much as it's quite rare overall.

My best guess is that for some reason, I am losing connection (whatever the error displayed is, failed to retrieve data could mean a lot of things) or rather sync with the EA server in game, between when the game ends and the next one begins.
Would providing the HEXA code to a developer or a L2 support tech would be helpful? Or any other troubleshooting?
I know it's common for the support to blame the connection, but as a L2 tech with 25+ years of troubleshooting experience, not ruling anything out, what I see is that my connection to the EA servers is dropped or out of sync as my internet connection stays ON on both my PS5 or my other devices in front of me as I am playing.

When is it happening besides when trying to use buy now in the auction house?

    @EA_Aljo To be clear the twitter guys fixed the issue with the AH.
    It is happening when I launch a challenge, SB, Rivals, Hut Champs or Hut Rush game.
    Randomly.
    I can play multiple games, and suddenly get hit with the error.

    Have you tried creating a new lineup with the same players? If not, give that a shot. Make sure you set the new lineup to active.

    @EA_Aljo You probably don't remember but I had an issue with the lineups, I was not able to modify them.
    Then I created a blank one, hoped into a game and put my players there and it saved.
    I have multiple lineups since then and all of them are doing the same thing.
    Also, the error happens in HUT Rush, where the lineups are completely different.

    With this being random across all modes, that makes it harder to figure out. It might be connection related, as you mentioned previously. Are you on a wired or wireless connection?

    @EA_Aljo this happens on both my wifi connection that I barely use with my PS5, so I am using this using a wired connection.
    I tried a different cable as well with the same result.
    I also had this issue once while using my cell's hotspot.
    Altough because of the connection speed and my data limitation, playing on this hotspot's connection isn't ideal even for testing.
    I did a reset of my modem/router many times.

    We're currently investigating this, but it's happening a lot more frequently than other reports of it. Which makes me think this might be connection related. Have you talked to your ISP to see if they are noticing anything?

    @EA_Aljo Hey So I asked my ISP to do some testing and I was told that signal wise or locally with my devices, there is no issue detected.
    We still did the usual resets and preventive maintenance but I played again this morning and the same issues happen again and again in all modes.
    So hopefully the investigation that is ongoing will get somewhere because it's really frustrating to be kicked out of hut randomly. thanks!
