EA Staff (Retired)Hey @chahornets1 @clbie6ed1gfr
To confirm do you get kicked as well only when a 4th person tries to join a private match? (if so read below for the requested info)
Hi @19c0bd54bd42c522 You mentioned that when someone switches PSN IDs they can connect, do you need to switch your PSN account for 4-player matches to work or does the last friend joining need to switch?
Also, is it the same friend every time, or just whoever joins last?
Hey @19c0bd54bd42c522 @Dante_Ramirez (and everyone else)
Would it be possible to get the following information on both your accounts and the friends you are playing with when the error occurs?
- Which platform do you play on?
- What are the PSN IDs of the 4 accounts trying to play a private match?
- Does everyone own the PGA Tour on their own accounts or game share?
- What was the last Date/Time you tried and received the error?
Thanks!

- Yes, and we used to be able to play together before in private matches 12 deep. As reported in these other posts, we can no longer do a PM with more than 3 people. Sometimes when we have four we try the 2v2 online mode, but if we ever match with all 4 of us - 2 verse 2, then it immediately kicks us and pops up that we lost connection to ea servers. When we do a private match, it will kick at least one of us up to all of us and pop up that we lost connection to ea servers. When we try to match with 4 or more on the 2-16 stroke play online mode it works 100% of the time with 3 of us or less. With 4 or more it will kick at least one of us if not all of us and pop up that we lost connection to ea servers. This is just the 4 of us that are friends - the actually online lobby can fill up to 16 without issue as long as more than 3 of them aren't on my friends.
- This occurrence happened last night. I could do another one of these for the previous night with different gametags. If needed, I could do this tonight or any night until y'all decide to fix it. It's not that hard to recreate.
I'm pretty sure EA Illium is no longer working for EA. Before the old Answer HQ board was transported here, his tag was showing him as retired. There is no more support from EA for this game, and there hasn't been for nearly a year. The game has been cancelled by the CEO when he decided to downsize the company, laying off some 675 workers.
