Forum Discussion
Thank you for your continued patience while our devs work on this issue. Just a reminder that this Mega-thread is for PlayStation players encountering the "Dressing room Error in EASHL" if you are running into a different issue or are getting a different error please create a separate thread.
Given that this issue isn't wide-spread & some of you are able to play using hotspots on your phones this may mean that the issue could lie with your home network. We believe that opening your ports may help with this.
WHAT ARE PORTS?
Ports are endpoints between two connections. A port number is assigned to each end, like an address, to direct the flow of internet traffic.
With that in mind would you be able to Open your PS4 & NHL ports:
PlayStation Ports:
TCP
80, 443, 3478, 3479, 3480
UDP
3478, 3479

NHL - PlayStation 4 ports:
UDP
3659, 6000, 10000-10150
TCP
80, 443, 10000-10150, 42127

Thanks,

We are advising players to open their ports based on information that has been provided in here as we believe that this may help you get back into EASHL in the meantime. This does not mean that we aren't trying to fix the issue on our end and we are not blaming your own network. We know that there is an issue here and we are actively working on a solution for this error. I realize that you aren't seeing any changes on your end as you are getting the the dressing room error however our teams are working hard on this. There are a lot of factors to take into account on the back-end especially when it involves networking. If it were a simple fix we wouldn't hesitate to roll this out as quickly as possible but we haven't been able to pinpoint the root cause yet.
I would like to add further clarification to what I meant by "not wide spread" I simply meant that it's not impacting 100% of the PlayStation players. The fact that it's not impacting both platforms alone means it's not widespread.
If you do choose to open your ports please let us know if this helps you or not as this would help us in our own investigation.@ndrdog, thanks for sharing your workaround, appreciate this. If any players are giving you further hassle for sharing this please let me know as sharing solutions & players helping players is at the very core of this forum.
I dug through the entirety of the beta forums & archives, here and on Answers HQ, not once was there a mention of the dressing room error, this issue wasn't present during the beta as far as we are aware. If you find reports during the beta phase with this error please send them on to me.

If i had the time & confidence in its making a difference, i would wade through my past livestreams of beta play and send you the evidence. The error was happening at the EXACT same point, and with the same frequency. But in the beta it was called "Failed to retrieve data". So perhaps technically you are right. (Not a bad pun)
Forgive me. I got your errors mixed up.

@rename960s6a I experienced the same thing in the beta. Same scenarios with the same game modes and everything. Failed to retrieve data was the error code then. It seems to be the same error with a different title.

Caveat that this is completely anecdotal right now, but last night trying to play EASHL with my club, I was able to finally get into successive matches without restarting my system. When in the ready up lobby against our opponent, if my team and the opponent had all readied up prior to the clock reaching :05 (in the red) the game was able to start before :00 and loaded fine.
Of my club, it seems the Dressing Room Error is almost exclusive to my system, meaning 80% of the time I get the error but my club proceeds with the match.Again, this is anecdotal and I didn't have time to test it further than those successive games. Will do more so this week.
- Anonymous7 years agoI have no idea how to find it but I know there was a forum on this issue during the beta because I remember commenting on it about the error codes. I don't think it was dressing room error specific, as there were other error codes as well, but it was definitely brought up in the beta. All this new stuff with the lobbies has to at least be part of the issue.... try on your end changing the lobby back to how it was in 18 and see if that fixes it and if it does work then create a patch
