@iqqmuT What other internet connection is he using? Another person's internet, hotspot.... and if he is using someone else's internet, are there more devices than just his PlayStation that are connected at the same time? All of my friends who live locally have the issue so I cant really test this out. I'm wondering if the internet connectivity is at least part of the problem, why haven't we had this issue in games past? The only error i ever got with 18 on EASHL was when we couldn't find a lobby because nobody was in drop-in. Only thing i can think of is possibly the lobby making itself- they made a lot of changes to the entire CHEL mode, but I've noticed there are several more steps in making/ finding a lobby. Wonder if, as a test, EA switched the lobby matchmaking back to the way it was last year just to see if that changes anything with the error codes.. Not sure if it is relevant or not. I switched over to mobile hotspot a few days ago and it seemed to work better for me. Maybe requiring more internet "power" to get through to the start of the match? I'm not tech savy so opening ports and all that is no answer for me.
@camo_chris87My friend has tried several scenarios with his PS4:
Dressing Room error problem:
- cable, home internet connection
Everything works ok:
- mobile hotspot
- 4G mobile connection
- another friend's home, fiber connection
So definitely the issue has something to do with the internet connection in my friend's case.
About what has changed, maybe EA has coded dressing room implementation in a different way, depending on some TCP connections that now are dropped unwantedly when they have idled enough. Just a theory. 🙂 But this could be tested if there is a way to enable/disable dropping idle TCP connections (unfortunately this feature depends usually on internet provider).
