    Once the game starts loading from the dressing room, disconnecting will cause a loss. How frequently is this happening to your club?

    Once the game starts loading from the dressing room, disconnecting will cause a loss. How frequently is this happening to your club? Thank you for getting back to me, I appreciate it. I From my experience you only get a loss if you disconnect after the puck drops. If a team doesn’t want to play you and they dashboard before it drops they do not get the loss. This is different though all 3 members of my club froze while entering the arena after a min of waiting we all dashed. This happens very often and we always do the same thing although this particular time we were given a loss.

  • I had the same thing happened 

    I played 3s eliminator as a drop in a few games with no issues 

    As soon as we played As a club the freezing and disconnects kicked in again 

    Played 2 games and restarted 4 times and we just gave up 

    I was working o...k few weeks ago but it seems like it's back again

    @Bo0ozzer 

    What system are you all playing on? If it's Xbox, do any of you have custom gamerpics? If so, try using a default one. Also, just in case this is related, try the workaround here.

  • @EA_Aljo Hi
    I'm on Xbox series s and had a custom pic and changed it and no changes

    I've followed this thread from the beginning and have attempted any changes suggested by pretty much anyone

    Just like others the freezing up and glitching disconnects cleared for about a week when everyone was commenting here stating threes eliminator is working again
    I actually commented as well
    But I'm afraid it seems like it's flared up again
    I play with about 5 others as well all on Xbox
    They have the exact same issue
    4 out of the 5 gamers have default gamer pics

    Any other suggestions or updates would be appreciated

    Thank you

    Is it possible to get that last person to update their gamerpic to see if that helps?

    why is this a "fix"? how about ea actually fixes the problem and doesnt suggest work arounds....like mentioned the freezing and having to dashboard is bad again!
