Bug: Error 2396 when returning to main menu from Arcade match while offline

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug Every time I return to main menu after an Arcade match while being OFFLINE, error 2396 pops up and reads: "Oops, something went wrong. Please try again. Error code: 2,396". Issue is probably with game trying to communicate with the server despite the fact that player/console is offline. Important thing to note is that there is no error when returning to the main menu while playing ONLINE, and this error doesn't trigger if the player leaves match without completing it first (by either winning or losing it).
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? killer9mm
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Can you tell us the date (MM/DD/YYYY) that you saw the bug? 01/24/2019
What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM) 09:00 PM
In what game mode did the bug occur? Arcade Mode
What is your time zone? ECT - GMT + 1:00
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Go offline 2. Enter Arcade mode and start a match 3. Win/lose a match, and return to main menu after the match ends 4. Error 2396 will pop up
What happens when the bug occurs? Error 2396 pops up saying that something went wrong. It is really distracting to see that every time you return to main menu after matches.
What do you expect to see? I expect to be able to return to main menu without error 2396 every time. This shouldn't happen, especially not while being offline.
Please select your region Europe
AMD or Nvidia Model Number

Image shows the error popping up after player selects "Return to the main menu" when Arcade match ends during offline play.

  • @EA_Ataashi I tried to replicate this bug on a second PS4 and the same thing happens, I tried physical/digital version so the cause of the issue is not my copy of the game or save data/console. QA team just needs to finish a match of Arcade and return to main menu while being offline, they will notice the issue right away 🙂

    I'm not really sure if this issue is caused by Darth Tyranus or the last months December update, but I presume it is the most recent one.

    You can see me starting a match while being offline, completing a match with defeat, and then returning to the main menu where Error 2396 pops up. @EA_Ataashi I hope you guys will take a look at this, it is really easy to reproduce by following the steps I have listed in the this Bug report 🙂

    I noticed this issue to, it's a bit annoying to see this error code every time I return to the menu if I play offline. Happening on PS4 for me, not a big deal but let's hope they fix it.
  • This issue still persists after the latest patch. It happens only when completing a match and returning to the main menu while playing offline, error code message can be closed but it should not be happening.

    Error 2396 still appears upon a return to the main menu after completing Arcade match while being offline. It is evident that the game tries to contact servers for Credits calculation even though there is no internet connection, and then displays the error when it obviously fails to contact the servers.

    It's been happening to me every time as well. I'm considering getting a refund at this point

  • Holy moly, if this thread is 5 years then I'm definitely getting a refund. Nothing turns gamers off more than lazy, good for nothing devs

    Where can I go to be refunded for my game? It is a second-hand purchase, but if the game does not work properly, as it should, then I would like a refund of what I paid at least.
