Re: Lost connection - When playing offline HUT


@martmet wrote:
@EA_Aljo So I tried to play a Hut Rush game just now, got a: Failed to retreive data; please try again later, with an error code with 3x 16digit hexa code.
Then I jumped on my work phone hotspot to see if I would go trough, but I got the same error as well when I tried to play a game again.

So far on my hotspot I didn't have the " You were disconnected from the EA servers error" but again it's so random and can't play on the hotspot all the time, usually If I go from my wired connection to my wifi connection the next attempt at playing works.

You say the next game works when switching to wireless. Does the next game after that disconnect?

  • Any updates on this? My 9 year old son is losing his mind, and I don't blame him. Roughly 300 mbps, I'm streaming video calls all day in the same space and he's dropping at least 3 out of every 10 offline HUT Squad Battle.

    You all going to fix this anytime soon?

    We aren't aware of any issues currently. Is he playing over a wired or wireless connection?

  • Thanks for the reply. It's wireless. Not experiencing the issue with 23.

    Running from the same Orbi as the other devices on that floor.

    There's a good bit of info on reddit about this as well.

    As a test, can you move to a location that lets you use a wired instead? Wireless is probably the biggest reason for disconnects and lag so it would be good to rule that out if that's not the case.

  • That's fair but how am I never disconnecting or buffering from hours of steaming video meetings next to the console on the same network? Especially since he's playing offline HUT?

    NHL, along with our other sports games, are very demanding when it comes to the connection. Something like streaming video or audio can buffer, but that's not quite the case with a dynamic game that is played in real time.

    Let me know what happens with the wired test.

  • OK will give it a try. No idea what could have changed since 2023 so dramatically, it's happened one time (ever) so let's say 0.5% up to 30%, a 60x change. Seems like a product issue.
