EA, why abandon TF1!?!

After some searching I found this:

When you access or use an EA Service, you agree that you will not:

    • Violate any law, rule or regulation.
    • Interfere with or disrupt any EA Service or any server or network used to support or provide an EA Service, including any hacking or cracking into an EA Service.
    • Use any software or program that damages, interferes with or disrupts an EA Service or another's computer or property, such as denial of service attacks, spamming, hacking, or uploading computer viruses, worms, Trojan horses, cancelbots, spyware, corrupted files and time bombs.
    • Interfere with or disrupt another player's use of an EA Service. This includes disrupting the normal flow of game play, chat or dialogue within an EA Service by, for example, using vulgar or harassing language, being abusive, excessive shouting (all caps), spamming, flooding or hitting the return key repeatedly.
    • Harass, threaten, bully, embarrass, spam or do anything else to another player that is unwanted, such as repeatedly sending unwanted messages or making personal attacks or statements about race, sexual orientation, religion, heritage, etc. Hate speech is not tolerated.
    • Contribute UGC or organize or participate in any activity, group or guild that is inappropriate, abusive, harassing, profane, threatening, hateful, offensive, vulgar, obscene, sexually explicit, defamatory, infringing, invades another's privacy, or is otherwise reasonably objectionable.
    • Publish, post, upload or distribute any content, such as a topic, name, screen name, avatar, persona, or other material or information, that EA (acting reasonably and objectively) determines is inappropriate, abusive, hateful, harassing, profane, defamatory, threatening, hateful, obscene, sexually explicit, infringing, privacy-invasive, vulgar, offensive, indecent or unlawful.
    • Post a message for any purpose other than personal communication. Prohibited messages include advertising, spam, chain letters, pyramid schemes and other types of solicitation or commercial activities.
    • Impersonate another person or falsely imply that you are an EA employee or representative.
    • Use or distribute unauthorized software programs or tools, such as "auto" software programs, "macro" software programs, "cheat utility" software program or applications, exploits, cheats, or any other game hacking, altering or cheating software or tool.
    • Modify any file or any other part of the EA Service that EA does not specifically authorize you to modify.
    • Use exploits, cheats, undocumented features, design errors or problems in an EA Service.
    • If an EA Service requires you to create a "user name" or a "persona" to represent you in game and online, you should not use your real name and may not use a user name or persona that is used by someone else or that EA determines is vulgar or offensive or violates someone else's rights.
    • Engage in any other activity that significantly disturbs the peaceful, fair and respectful gaming environment of an EA Service.
    • Promote, encourage or take part in any prohibited activity described above.

I speak for all of the Titanfall1 Community when I say: PLEASE HELP US! 

Here is a link to my personal YouTube channel with at least a dozen screen recordings and videos of this issue: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHmrugW_DZQ&list=PLXgTXM87jYoulsAAH4CtiLOG3SNpWk8tW&index=1

If this was not a true, genuine issue, the cry for help would have died a long time ago, but this is a full-blown major issue. As a whole, the entire community has sent in reports, made forum posts/discussions, uploaded videos, and even contacted EA staff. All this has been for nothing so far. I have met a good 250 players on Titanfall 2 who also are annoyed and miss TF1. The main reason I am always on the front of this issue, is that I do not appreciate when somebody betrays a promise to me (the user agreements/TOS). I also am a die-hard fan of the series and game. But since I have been the proverbial "spearhead", I have been slowed and lagged just enough to make playing the games no fun. I used to have a perfect ping for Titanfall 2, now I range from 101-9000+! The only reason I even make these posts is to ask for help because I am powerless other than calling on you for help or pointing out stuff.

-Sincerely,

Commander Adam Malkovich

    After 9 months,I again asked for live support and ran the diagnostic tests and the dude said he would "send to publisher" if issue persisted... it did, so here to hoping something is finally in the positive for us!!!

    Guys, two days ago I tried playing the game and I couldn't, yesterday afternoon I was finally able to join a game. That is, until we went back to square one in the evening. Today I finally played a match in Frontier Defence, but my game crashed... Logging back in, still the same problem, as it is currently. Is it REALLY that difficult to ban all the bot accounts and put a little script that avoids such troubles in the future?! I mean, ok, "we wanna close the servers for good", then say it and do it! Stop pretending to have our money then not letting us play the damn game!

    I just want to have some fun... with a game that I enjoy to death... a game that got me out of a very, VERY difficult time in my life. You guys at EA hate being called the "bad guys", but do you really think that nickname isn't deserved?! Please, PLEASE make it work again. Hell, make it free for people who've recently bought TF2 as well, I dunno.

    Just let us play the game, without a lonely troll ruining the fun for everyone. It's easy to hate EA, but I sure still wait for you to cross the Path of Redemption; it might become longer the more stupid things you do, but I will always give you a chance.

    Just let us play and have fun.

    Please!

    TF1 for life!  

    has anyone found a solution to play TF1 PC online yet?    The hacker has completed killed the game; it automatically kicks you out when you try to connect.

    No, he has updated his bots slowly to crash matches by overloading the server with too many occasions of joining players, essentially ddosing the server. He has now updated it to join on detection of joining main menu, which therefore allows access only to the title screen. Its been 10 months so far of this issue and EA still sits and doesn't help. If you aren't going to support a game that isn't really that old, then just stop selling it. I mean come on, borderlands 2 is still being updated by Gearbox Software with some pretty major add-on, yet a game that is way better cannot get the support it deserves!

    You are 100% right, over the course of the past weeks//months this issue persists.
    The fact they are still selling the game might actually be a good thing.

    In that case there must be at least in some countries laws and such that they break by not delivering on the advertised goods.

    At least that's how it works in The Netherlands.

    And no, I don't want a refund.

    That's definately not the path I would like to go down though.

    I mean if they have an army of very smart programmers who are able to get out such an game how hard will it be to just isolate the source and patch it.

    Even an simple anti-flood / anti-join illegal characters thing should do the trick imo.

    Any player who joins can not join another match within 15 seconds.

    Massive traffic from one IP jumping between matches, ban.

    That's probably all there already but then again: I'm no programmer.
    Come on EA/Respawn Get this FIXED already!
    Don't want to start a law suit against a company because some toxic person destroys this game.

    This is just madness, as a business model, you are failing so hard.


    This is not how you treat customers, this is not how you get a good client base, this is not how you get repeated purchases.

    The way one person is able to just completely shutdown the work of many. You guys are making fools out yourselves.

    tl'dr: Good game, one bad paly ruining destroying server, respawn does nothing, bad business model.

    Ok folks since EA wont solve this issue, I suggest we reach out to the programmers and see if we can get the server side code to start hosting our own servers.

    anyone got contacts they can reach out to?

    Legally we are not in jeopardy because as soon as they send a letter - which they have to, to start the process; we can reply with our own to say the service is not available etc etc.

    With that out of the way, lets see if we can get a copy of the server side code and start hosting the game ourselves like folks did for Tribes and Tribes 2 etc.

  • they’ve abandoned TF2 aswell.

    Man i wish i could play both games without any major issues...

    sadly tf1 is unplayable and tf2 has stuttering and server issues.... 

    i guess respawn doesn’t have time to work on their games that make no money anymore
