(Solved) Battlefront 2 will not launch Xbox one

I've had this problem for a few days now and decided to ask the Internet for help.

I've downloaded and have been playing Star Wars battlefront 2 since the deluxe edition was playable on Xbox one, however just about three days ago I started to have an issue when the game will not launch.

Whenever I attempt to launch the game it shows an error message with this code: (0x80072f8f) I've attached an image.

I've tried everything that has been recommended by multiple websites, however none of it works, I have restarted all network devices and the console to no avail.

I've just discovered that the game works properly when I turn the console into offline mode under network settings, but whenever I try to connect the game crashes and I get the same message.

In the image I'm not signed in but that doesn't change the results. Also no other apps or games have this problem and I have no problem with updating and downloading.

Either way if nobody has a solution I was just thinking I should wait until the next update, or maybe uninstall and reinstall. In which cases, does anyone know the next update release? And does uninstalling delete save data?

Any help is greatly appreciated and I thank anyone in advance 🙂

    I found the solution here:

    - go to network settings on Xbox
    - go to advanced settings
    - go to DNS settings
    - choose 'automatic'
    IF that doesn't work:
    - go to DNS settings
    - Choose 'manual'
    - type in each box one 8 so it looks like this: 8.8.8.8 (this is googles address or something)
    - if it asks for a secondary address leave that blank
    - launch BF2
    - it will open a message saying it needs an update or it needs a patch
    IF all of this doesn't work:
    Change it back to automatic again
