Error code 721

Has anyone got the error code 721 recently on PC? 

Because it's seriously annoying and I cannot connect myself to the EA servers for Star Wars Battlefront II.

I want to add that my internet is good and I use wired connexion for the internet on my PC.

I'm not sure if it's the right place to post it but it's important that everyone sees this. I hope a patch or a client server update will be made for the game to fix this bug

Thank you!

    Yep we are all seeing this error crop up (see multiple other threads on this same subject)...and ☹️ yes we all hope EA are fully aware and are looking in to it. Its unlikely a problem at the gamers end and more than likely a server issue.

    You can continue playing the game by persisting with clicking on the CONNECT button. I have found it sometimes takes two or three attempts ..at worst more than ten ...but you do connect and stay connected!

    Not a good situation and not a solution but it works for me. Enjoy the game!

    It's the firewall! Be sure to include your game installation folder in the list of the exception so that your firewall won't block it! For me it was AVG...classic!

    Still happening on PC, cannot authenticate on Xbox either (the verify identify page does not progress when code is entered). I played a couple days ago without issue.

    I too have this issue but it's also kicking me out of the game midway through it with this error code!

    Go to graphics settings and disable DirectX 12. The game will run on DirectX 11. It solved my problem.

    I have found that there are multiple ways to fix this problem. One, restarting the game and/or the computer. Two, clicking the button many times. And three, sometimes if you go to the multiplayer menu there is another connect button that randomly works when the main one doesn't.

    See earlier post in this thread. It is highly unlikely that EA will ever fix this problem as this is no longer a "top flight game" for them and it seems to me that it is only really supported by a few dedicated individuals.

    As I hope you know the only "solution" is to keep hitting that CONNECT button. If you are lucky it works first time....however it has (for me) in some rare cases taken over 20 attempts to actually go on line. Once online you are AOK! No fun but it is what it is.

    Wishing you luck ......
