7pm now, trying to find a match since 4:40pm! Gold Coast, Australia!
- Me thinks DICE are on vacation as it is summer there. I have read other posts saying this might be the cause for the lack of hotfix being done. By the time next clone wars tv show comes out will be the clone wars update time and hotfix will blend into update.
- Anonymous7 years agoYeah started for me 2 days ago. In Australia. Wait ages for it to find a game and then I’m there on my own or with a couple of people.
The only one that I found that works is HvV.
Thought Australian servers were down but clearly a worldwide issue. Terrible lack of service/resolution from EA. - Anonymous7 years ago
It’s not only South Africa. I’m in the States and I have the same problem! It’s been happening for 2 weeks.
I first had this problem last week . 26/07/2018.
I started with the ping site problem and with this problem at 4 am. I solved the ping site problem but now i still cant find a populated lobby. I am in Portugal, i play in united kingdom pin site (38ms). I have been playing sincr launch and until last week i could always find a populated server for any game mode. But now i can hardly find a populated server. Its always just me. If i wait 3 or 4 people join in but then they leave. I just want to play the game i bought and i have invested so much time in the game...
Since last week i can only play if a friend of mine invites me to group and if he is the one to search for a game.
Today for the first time i was able to play by myself by waiting 45 minutes for an empty room to fill up...
I can’t play either here in South Africa! I’m the only one in any of the lobbies?!?!
I can’t play the game after paying a lot of money for it.

@EA_Ataashi- I am having problems in the last 2 days trying to connect to any of the multiplayer games. In all instances, I either end up in empty lobbies or get the message "unable to find you a game_____ error 1066". On Monday I started about 2pm and around 3.45pm was able to get into HvsV only to get the "Game ended No Data Available etc" at the game end. When I quit and relaunched to correct that error, was not able to get another game (any multiplayer) until after 10pm. Tuesday the same happened in the afternoon (I started a 1:30pm) and again after a couple of hours was able to get a game in HvsV with the same result as Monday. Same error msg at end of game. This time I did not quit, just played on until the particular daily challenge was completed (and a couple of milestones). The gameplay was good without lag. After leaving HvsV, I tried to get in GA with no success. Usually quit game around 4:30pm to organise dinner etc.& watch TV news. Start playing again around 8:30 - 9:00pm.Was not able to get a game in ANY multiplayer mode. gave up around 11:30pm. Is this issue anything to do with Ping site problems I have read about in this forum? My region Is Australia.

@EA_Ataashi, @EA_Atic or @EA_David
I am currently online (10:50pm) and have been since 2:00pm today and have yet to be able to join a multiplayer game (the same as my previous post). The problem appears to be getting worse. If I am not directed to an empty lobby, I am getting the dialogue "We can't find any available games for you, check your selection and try again. Error code 1066" and when I get into an empty lobby, I notice on the top right corner a message that I have a slow internet connection which may effect gameplay ad a graphic showing 3 bars Tested network for multiplayer and test was fine (Upload speed 5.9mb's/sec download 50.7mb's/sec Nat ok "Open" Ping site Australia 25ms.). I also have tried disconnecting/reconnecting to the EA servers whilst the game is running to no effect.This has been going on for 3 days and my frustration is turning to anger. I play this game at least 3hrs a day (A lot of times many more hrs) and have done so since it's release. It is the only online game I play. My gamer tag is PoppyGibb70 (yes, the 70 is my age), maybe you can check if there is a hiccup with that. I have overlooked a lot of bugs in this game which you have been fixing over time but this one is stretching my limits - Help!!!!
The fix is coming! That's the good news. The bad news you ask? It will come some time after the August 7th patch. https://battlefront-forums.ea.com/discussion/117195/update-ping-site-issues#latest

Just got my first games in 3 days - changed my ping site from Australia to US Oregon. Worked perfectly. Tried a few others before without success but got into GA within 5 secs and HvsV within 3 secs using Oregon site. Just keep cycling through sites until you get one that works for you until they fix it.
