1st the game goes really REALLY slow then freezes then crashes with the error message ReadPacketEntities: Failed After dismissing the error message you are back at the Main Menu. This has just started to happen, but now happens with each game today. No changes in my System, Which was working fine with TF2 for months. It smells like the same kind of shenanigans that eventually took down the TF1 game and made it unplayable. I certainly hope not.

This is happening to larger player base, its not a client issue.

It is impossible to play Titanfall 2 multiplayer. The same hacker from Titanfall 1 has brought their serves down. You either can't connect or once you do there is so much lag the game is not playable. This is NOT a problem with my connection many other players have reported this.Who's doing this?As far as we are aware, it's still the same person who's been doing the same thing for the past 3 years. Their name is Jeanue, they've used many different Origin usernames, the first being jeanue. The current name of their main Origin account is xxxTitanfailxxx, and from what we can tell, they're now in control of the Origin account NtrlBornKilla as well.The exploit has been used for years by Jeanue, which he himself lovingly called the "Atomic Bomb" in the bot's name when it joined lobbies and wasn't using the exploit to crash users. It's caused by a buffer overflow caused by the name provided by Jeanue's bots.While it's possible to fix the buffer overflow, there's a separate exploit deployed since December 2020 which crashes users even if they have the Little Boy exploit patched. This will cause the server to kick the player, and so far we're not aware of a way to fix that issue. Because this new exploit uses more bots and has a larger impact while similar to the older Atomic Bomb exploit, I opted to call it the Fat Man.Joining any global multiplayer server will result in speed mods that make it really slow to move. We have tons of reports open and EA/respawn is just ignoring the problem.

This isn't a client side issue. These are server attacks by the same person who rendered TItanfall 1 unplayable. https://twitter.com/ImGaze_/status/1398440300897398784?This individual has "blacklisted" specific players/creators from playing the game altogether. These are the attacks being referred to in the below tweets from Respawnhttps://twitter.com/Respawn/status/1395446711682838530?https://twitter.com/RKRigney/status/1403041047106756610?https://twitter.com/Respawn/status/1403041380902055940?https://twitter.com/Respawn/status/1379204515748929538I have been unable to play since April Rendering my account with 4000 hours unusable and meaningless. Respawn has said they are working on the issue however It has approx 3 MONTHS since the issue has been brought to their attention.

@EA_Atic Seems like it's happening to everyone. Everyone in the games I queue into reports serious lag, and then I disconnect with the error. Seems like it's a server-side issue

Here's a better snapshot of the error message

I think it is unlikely that anything will be fixed. But maybe the hackers will stop

I Just reinstalled Titanfall 2 again after not playing it in a while and i heard that there were DdoS issues and that they were addressed. Now in every game of PvP you get a server connection time out which occurs to every player and the game disconnects.

Hey @ham_cucumber and @Thijminecraft02, @tniromin the list goes on🥲. savetitanfall.com has released a huge document, videos and screenshots on their website about the hackers. So HOPEFULLY EA and Respawn take action against these people.
Also p0358, a titanfall community member released a document on HOW to fix these exploits by working countless of hours on how these exploits work. Im honestly surprised how a community member can put work into fixing exploits but Respawn cant?, https://medium.com/@p0358/how-to-fix-titanfall-3e5f9c0132c6
I really do hope Respawn fixes these exploits with their 1/2 devs working on this game, this game is totally amazing and Im sure we don’t want it to die. According to some youtube videos i watched, the hackers wanted to revive the cancelled Titanfall Online game, and by killing titanfall servers they can take the whole titanfall community to TFO.
Oh well, the game is playable at the moment, lets just hope the people who left because of the Ddos attacks come back.

It seems that EA/Respawn have at least done something.
Connectivity timers seem shorter. If you connect to multiplayer and spend some time messing with loadouts, you'll be disconnected. Often after playing a match and searching for the next one, you'll be disconnected. Reconnecting to multiplayer seems to fix it.
I only play Frontier Defense, but I've noticed a difference in the lobbies: You can't see anyone's banner/info any more. It only says "Fetching..." and shows a default banner.
Both of these changes that I've noticed indicate they're at least trying to address the problem.

@Thijminecraft02 That video is a load of cr@p... he has weaved together sooo many unrelated facts just to create a conspiracy story and improve his YT ratings. Freeze frame some of his pages highlighting the "evidence" and read them... there's just NOTHING incriminating there.. . Probably why he doesn't keep them onscreen for long.
So while ANYTHING is possible the conspiracy story he presents would take the resources of the CIA to pull off... or perhaps the Russians are behind it... a clandestine operation to take over the TF2 servers in their quest for global domination! 😉
