Battlefront 2 error code 216

Do you have a 4g device at home that you could try as temp network device and see if you get the same error code.  Also make sure that its not connected to the wifi. @McMurphy2

Hey there, I was experiencing the 216 error as well up until today. I found an interesting work around that I think you should try before giving up. 

I followed all of the suggested solutions on this site before giving this a shot: Launch a single player match and finish it. For this, I used the battle scenario things. After I completed a match of those, I was able to connect online just fine. 

Hey, recently I've bought a PC and started playing BF2 on this platform as well.

It runs without any problems, yet I'm facing a weird situation. If I start up the game and try to get into multiplayer immediately, I get the 216 error code as if something is wrong with my network. I assure you, it isn't - every other game is working perfectly, and what's more interesting is that jumping into a round of Arcade scenario simply fixes it. I do that, go back to Multiplayer, and that's it.

Could you look into this? I mean I'm happy that I can at least play, but this workaround gets old quite quickly.

Okay, so I see that you've moved my comment (which was a separate thread) to an existing one - that's fine.

What's not fine is that you've moved it to a "solved" one where the "solution" is actually the problem I was posting about. I don't want to play Arcade every time I open the game...

So, yesterday was the first time i played Battlefront 2, I played the first 5-6 hours perfectly, no errors whatsoever. Then, right after I changed some graphics settings (unrelated, I know, I just retell the events in all details), this errors popped up when I tried to join a match. Thankfully, I was able to find a "solution". A user said that this issue can be bypassed by playing some arcade before joining a multiplayer match. It worked, I played the rest of the evening just fine. But today, I am unable to play at all, the "solution" just stopped working for some unknowable reason. Now every multiplayer gamemode I try to play has this error, and it doesn't go away no matter how many times I try.
Taking all this into account, I don't see how this problem might be on my end. I didn't change anything during these 24 hours.

Thanks ALOT for reading what I've written in my post. I explicitly stated that the "solution" DOES NOT WORK FOR ME. IT STOPPED WORKING.

On the side note, I've figured out that the German ping site is the issue, I can connect to the American ping sites just fine. The thing is - I can't play on them because of horrendous lags.

I'm having trouble connecting to a match with friends. I happen to be the only person who gets kicked. My internet is flawless; I've ran all tests. Please look into this EA. I would very much like to give you my money, but can't.
