EA Staff (Retired)Hey @Maliainu
I'm sorry to hear about your issue with Star Wars Battlefront 2 ☹️
Yes, this problem has been reported by many players before and I see that you've already tried a few workaround suggested by others.
Can I ask if you and your friend are on also on one PlayStation's party (voice chat) when you're trying to play? Would it be possible for you to check if you will be able to play together without the error if one of you will be using a mobile hotspot instead?

Hi @EA_Ataashi
That is correct. We join a group in the game and also create a voice party chat so we can communicate while we play. We have also tried playing without the voice party and have still gotten error code 216.
The mobile hotspot is something we have done before when our network isn’t working. The problem with this is the connection is significantly slower and creates severe lag that impacts our gameplay. So as much as we could do this again, it would be ideal to stay within our network to get the best speeds.
Edit: Sorry, I misread the question. I will try the mobile hotspot to verify whether the error code appears
Sorry for the delay in testing the hotspot.
We attempted mobile hotspot last night, and we experienced error code 216 after only being able to successfully play one match.
Something worth noting that we have noticed lately:
Our first attempts of playing a game together is typically successful where we can complete one match. After that game has concluded, one of us experiences a loading problem while trying to travel to the next map (without quitting). We receive a delayed response in-game, then after about a minute, are sent back to the main menu screen and finally receive the error code 216 prompt.
If we wait a day and try to play again, the success rate of joining together is currently 50/50
I add my experience here in order not to opne a new topic.
Same problem: quoting @Maliainu my first attempts of playing a game together is typically successful where i can complete one match. After that game has concluded, i experience a loading problem while trying to travel to the next map (without quitting). I receive a delayed response in-game, then after about a minute, i am sent back to the main menu screen and finally receive the error code 216 prompt.
I tried a "home-solution" read in a forum (i don't remember if italian or foreign one) successfully: i start a local single player match (no matter which one), i quit after few second game and back to multiplayer mode, and it works!!!
I'm obviously quite disaapointed to follow this strange procedure every time i encounter this error.
My system is PS4 PRO and both it and the game are up to date.
I look forward to hearing from you guys...
