Error 4270 Star Wars Squadrons

Posting this again since EA closed down the other thread regarding error 4270 in Star Wars Squadrons - claiming it was “necroposting” without offering any solutions or updates…

 

Here is my original reply to another player - and several other players who posted within the last few weeks - regarding this multiplayer invite issue. I am able to invite at least one other XBox player to multiplayer in crossplay, but not other PC/Steam players…

 

“I am on Steam and can successfully invite my buddy on Xbox using his EA ID, but I cannot invite any other steam friends using their steam ID or EA ID - I’ll get error code 4270 for all of them. It sucks because a couple of them just bought the game during the Christmas 2024 steam sale and we can’t play together at all…

 

We’ve tried turning off crossplay, exiting the game, logging back in and turning crossplay back on - doesn’t work. Restarting the PCs also doesn’t work.  EA!!!! HELP!!!!”

 

The response from EA’s community manager (five days later) “Closing thread to avoid necroposting. If needed, please feel free to start a new topic.”

 

Well EA, here’s your new thread on this SAME topic that your players are STILL having and are STILL recently posting about in a thread that is definitely not “necro…”

  • July 2025, same problem. No comment whatsoever from EA. Too much  time spent trying to fix it to claim a refund now.

    I'm in the same boat as you guys, it's frustrating because I want to earn the PSN trophies for this as I was so close to a platinum. Without being able to do Dog Fights or public matches there's no chance of me ever obtaining it 😫

  • So my friends and I just got the game from the black Friday sale on steam and after dealing with the pain of getting the game to even launch we can't even play together because of this error. So I guess the multiplayer part of the game is just completely busted? This is ridiculous that we can't unlock anything and are forced to play custom matches only.
