I have been getting this error, 429 as well. I've been trying to play every day, but it have not been successful for a while.

@pppaddy Easiest way is through EAHelp and Respawn respectively on Twitter, but do note that even though that's the easiest way it's still bordering the impossible.

Add another frustrated TF2 player who would like to continue using the games intended multiplayer interface. Sucks that the consoles don't seem to have this issue like the PC environment does. I wonder if this is a server OS security issue and not just a DDOS attack that's plaguing the system. Tried running a wireshark packet capture just to be sure it wasn't some feature on the client side that was messing with the connection, but I couldn't find anything in that that would give me a clue. Sucks the community has to MOD a game that's still being sold as advertised with a multiplayer.
