DICE TeamHello, @Spitsworth sorry to hear about the issue you are having with SWBF2. Error 201 is a network issue and something I have talked to our developers about and they have confirmed with me that this is an issue outside our server, so that means that the issue is between you and us.
What you can do Is following our network troubleshooting guide: https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/connection-troubleshooting-basic/

youre right this isnt an issue on our end. for the past several months i continue to get it.
now before EA decides to chime in, ive played insurgency sandstorm, war thunder, and various other games. even with terrible ping i dont get booted.
but I find it funny they state its outside our servers....it probably is your servers. or the game itself. I wonder if this game was as rushed as andromeda.
Im having exactly the same problem,only in DICE+ORIGIN GAMES (BF5 and SWBF2) and no solution at all. Sometimes I can play a few games without error,sometimes I cant play at all,and there's no solutions,only blame user end ans wash your hands. EA are just a scammers company,I will never buy another game on Origin. I don't know how many times I contact support about this kind of connection errors and how many times I calles my ISP provider to open porta...change IPV, PnP...etc. I love those games,but my frustration is even bigger so I'm out of your horrible game platform.
Im having this same issue on my PS4. Every other game works fine, everything else that I try (games, music streaming, video streaming, you name it) works fine, but Battlefront 2? Code 201 every time.
I'm having this error 201 issue today.
I was playing perfectly fine a couple of days ago with friends, now I can't join a game with them.
I've narrowed the issue for me down to when joining game servers as a group, then when I leave group the issue persists, but after rebooting the game I can join games perfectly fine, until I group up with my friends again and then I get this error 201. But they can join the games together fine, I am the only one getting kicked out, however like I said I was playing the game with them both perfectly fine a couple of days ago.
So far I have checked for updates, updated Windows, added BF2 folder to my firewall exception list, verified the cash, disabled and re-enabled my NIC, checked for driver updates, flushed DNS, ran renewed network adapters but I still get the same issue, but I can communicate with them both in DISCORD and join and player other games with them perfectly fine.
There issue, for me, lies with the in-game group feature when joining a match.
EDIT:
The ONLY work-around for this is to let them join the game, and then me join them while they are in-game already.
This is not ideal and clearly demonstrates there is a fault with the group join mechanic.
@EA_Atic do us all a favour.
If I can play endless hours of other online games with barely a ping issue, yet get constant error codes from your game, the problem is not on my end!
Fix the problem, or at least have the decency to admit it’s something you haven’t solved yet, but are looking into.
You lot should be doing everything you can to keep us happy with this of all games!
To end on a positive, your developers have done sterling work making this a decent game, so please don’t spoil it with nonsense responses to genuine customer service complaints.
