Base Command (SWBF companion) broken
Star Wars battlefront companion (base command) is no longer working...it’s really handy for checking progress towards my last few bits of diorama
Forum Discussion
Yeah it sucks. Our only hope is that they have mercy and re-establish like they were originally planning to.
Hey everyone, @SerGrig221 @Mad_Dog_MacD @BCeltics_17 @TracerXZX @tefull @DamianJP @LittleBeggarman @BTL-A4_Ace @Player_6vmh4wht @KenanSummerLager @57ab9f75f12ba2f1 @UNCKSL @badawat @smes2015 @SerGrig221
Sorry for all the tags, but I’ve gotten a bit of an update from EA and wanted to keep you all posted.
I contacted EA support today and got a very friendly response which is nice. They informed me that the team hasn’t received much in the way of information about the app, which probably means there are no intents to repair it, but they’re going to report the problem anyway just to see.
In the meantime, I’ve been experimenting with the app on older devices but haven’t had any success so far. Is there anyone here that has an old iOS or Android device that can still run it as intended?
- @Caberaham Man I wish they fixed it for just a little while to get that god damn diorama piece. On iphone 13 its not supported, on my old xiaomi redmi phone it starts all buggy then at the login screen I get infinite loading, I think the servers have been fully shutdown.
@CaberahamI just tried it on bluestacks and the first time it gave me the new ea login screen then it went back to the previous screen and it does nothing when I click on it.... I tried opening it and now it just gives me infinite loading screen.
Yeah same thing here. Blue stacks is designed to work on the newest version of android so it works the same as using a brand new phone afaik.
@Caberaham Thank you for the tag! Encouraging that does sound!! My previous phone was iPhone 7, now iPhone 13, and as I remember from my first post, the issue was not the device but the OS. If I was knowledgable on how to revert to older OS, I definitely would have tried it. Although, I believe once updated to latest iOS, it is unable to be reverted. So, I am sorry but I am unable to test it, unless I can dig-out my iPhone 3 🤔 I'll keep you posted.
Hey! I have an old ipad, and it doesnt let me log in.
I've opened so many tickets on this game trying to get them to fix it, but they really don't care. I just loved playing it every morning with my coffee. They could have put a banner ad at the top and bottom of the page and I'd still play the thing.
I’ve got good news and bad news.
Good news is I’ve been able to log in to the website https://api.battlefront.dice.se
and play base command. It still cycles through the daily challenges and everything. I’ve also gotten all of the icons to load so it looks really nice (see attachments)
The bad news is nothing you do in the game shows up in Star Wars battlefront and vice-versa. So credits earned don’t sync, and neither does star cards and the like. The only thing that does is friends.
The login is still very glitchy, but I’ve had best success doing it on mobile browsers (mainly Firefox) compared to desktop. I’ve also found it more reliable when I log in with steam rather than EA (though obviously this isn’t possible for everyone.)
@EA_Atic @EA_Blueberry Would you consider putting in a word for us about fixing the website? (Linked above) I know so many people who actually liked playing it more than the actual game! I’ve looked at it with chrome and Firefox dev tools and it appears to be just a couple of very small compatibility issues with an older style of cookie being used to pull info that’s causing glitches. Plus it’s much easier to maintain than a mobile app.
@Player_6vmh4wht @smes2015 @BCeltics_17 @TracerXZX You guys should try it out on mobile and let me know how to goes! I’ve also had success with internet explorer mode on edge but it’s a lot less consistent so I wouldn’t recommend that.
- @Caberaham Hello again! Which browser do you use? I just have an error again
- @Caberaham Unfortunately, I still have an error even though i have tried firefox…
I play on PS so i cant get access via steam. Did you get it from the first try though? - @Caberaham Yeah I got in first try with the origin credentials. What device and browser are you using?
- @Caberaham So dude, I managed to create a steam account and get the access!!! This is so cool, thank you so much! Finally I can play this game, however, without all of my star cards (I managed to get all stars on ps account). Anyway, this is fantastic! Thank you! I will keep trying to get logged in with my main account tomorrow. You are the best!
- @Caberaham I tried to use firefox on iphone but it didnt work, so i switched to safari on macbook
- @Caberaham The main thing is that finally we managed to play it. Thank you for your work! May the Force be with you!
- @Caberaham Tried safari, firefox, nothing worked for me.
Are you doing it on mobile or pc, and what OS are you using?
- @Caberaham Tried on the latest ios version with safari and firefox and tried edge on windows.
- @TracerXZX What method are you using to log in, origin? Also, edge doesn’t normal work unless you’re in internet explorer mode and you need to allow all.
- @Caberaham I was in IE mode. What method? It brings up the ea app login screen only.
- @TracerXZX Yeah I mean what are you using to login. Steam, Origin, Xbox etc.
- @Caberaham Origin.
@TracerXZXOkay. I’ve gotten origin to work but it’s pretty inconsistent. If you have access to steam I would recommend using that to login. Only advice I can really give is just keep trying different methods, different browsers, different devices. And if it doesn’t log you in you’ll need to clear your cookies and such before trying again. I’ve personally gotten it to work on an iPhone, iPad, PC, Kindle Fire, and Smart TV so it’s possible on almost any device, but the website code is messed up which makes it inconsistent.
- @Caberaham If its not giving me the diorama then its not worth it ive never used this app in my entire life.
