4 PSN IDs in the video from earlier : Datjoka_ Big_Tom007 Danteramirez981_ Chahornets
Yes we all own PGA Tour
Last time it happened was yesterday with 3 other people I tried to play with which I don’t remember their PSN ids
so yeah, when the fourth person joins and two or more players in that lobby aren’t compatible, the lobby will crash and disconnect everyone from the servers and it’ll happen every time without fail. The person who needs to switch psn accounts is whoever isn’t compatible with one of the accounts in which in this case it would be big_tom007 and I believe chahornets. So big_tom007 would need to switch to his Bagger_Vance_007 psn account and then the match will suddenly work with the 4 of us

EA Staff (Retired)Thanks for this info we can pass it on to the team.
Do you know for the two accounts "big_tom007" and " chahornets"
- Have they ever blocked one another in the past
- Changed their PSN privacy settings
- Made changes to their EA account or unlinked the PSN from a former EA account?
Were taking a look at this to understand what could make the 2 PSN account conflict but some of this information isn't visible on EA accounts, if possible they could post in the thread with this info and we can share it with the team!
also, to confirm how did you figure out "big_tom007" and " chahornets" where the accounts that had issues with one another?
Hi,
The answer is no to the first 3 questions. We have been able to determine through trial and error which accounts in our chat group are incompatible with each other. LIke I mentioned before this doesn't just happen with the four of us. The issue started with the update after the Ryder Cup season ended. During the Ryder Cup season none of us ever had a problem, if that helps.
Thanks
The answer I got from big_tom007 and chahornets was no to none of these questions you and as another user said in here, we just figure it out through trial and error swapping different players or accounts if they have other accounts, then once we find the right combination of accounts that are able to play with each other the lobby won’t disconnect us from the servers
Hi,
Any update on this? Were the videos helpful? I’m happy to provide whatever information might help resolve this issue for everyone.
Thanks
- @EA_Illium I'm part of this group and can confirm the same issues happen to me too. It's been horrible for months now and we can't play private matches most of the time because the game just boots everyone from the servers once the 4th person joins.
It's not just PSN, it happens to us on Xbox also. We can play three in a private match but as soon as the fourth everyone gets disconnected once in an absolute Blue Moon it'll work but that doesn't seem to be any sort of pattern. it's been like this for almost a year
