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!
Hello,
Any update on this? We’re the videos helpful? Do you need more information? I traveled last week and tried playing from that location and had the same issue so it definitely seems to be tied to PSN account somehow. The list of people that I can’t play with gets longer every day. Very frustrating.
Thanks
Hey Illium this group has been very respectful and patient just waiting for a response or an update, could we please have some information on if the issue has been identified or if EA doesn't care and we should just move on.
- I’ve been having this same problem for months.
I posted a message about it in the “suggestions forum” on the main page and never got a response.
It started doing it after like the third update when the game first came out.
Then after a smaller update, it fixed for a while, but then it started happening again, and it’s been happening ever since. 6 months or so.
Makes the game unplayable because that’s the only mode that my friends and I play.
Sometimes it happens with 5 people.
We end up having to play with a threesome and a twosome, or two twosomes, which defeats the purpose of online play.
We play on Xbox.
We’ve tried everything. Deleting cache, joining one by one, joining through the game, joining through the Xbox live party, joining all at the same time, joining on the person that is already in the lobby, joining from the Xbox Home Screen, trying during the day, at night, starting a match with 2 and having a lobby with two then inviting the two that were already in a round, deleting the game and reinstalling it. - 99% of the time, we try once to get it to work, and when it doesn’t we all just play a different game because it sucks that we can’t all play together.
Such a shame because this is such a great game.
Before this, we were still playing Rory.
It started happening after the 5th update, then it fixed after a small update, and then it stopped working after Update 6.
I had to go back and look at my posts in the other forum. It started last August, so I was right; 7 months.

- @chahornets1 This is true. Please tell is if this is something that will be addressed next season or not. I'd rather not waste time playing this game anymore if it isn't going to work right this often.
