Titanfall PC stuck at initializing

I have had the exact same problem all week in Western europe. I've tried a bunch probably all the fixes recommended by Ea and ones on reddit. The same thing happened to me on the beta too where I was stuck at retrieving matchmaking the whole time and havnl't been able to play the game yet.

My specs:

Windows 7 (64-bit)

Intel Core i5 3.10Ghz

8GB RAM

NVIDIA Geforce GTX 660

I try to run Origin as Administrator and repair the game in Origin. Didn't work either. I even spend the whole evening trying to reinstall the game. Not working at all. So frustrated when I was play the game perfectly in the Beta but I can't even play now.

I was the same, just bought 2 days ago.

Me too. Also, when I look at the bottom right corner it says "data searching" when I click on it, I am told that all the servers have a -1 ping. Does this also happen to you?

i got exactly the same issue, and i have saw that the game working good at around of midnight each days.

I have tested at 11PM, it stuck at ship loading screen, i retry at 00:00 it work fine up to 9AM. So i suppose the servers are locked/blocked in a hours range or my internet provider block them.

I htink that we have a tip with this information but we need someone to confirm this.

I confirm that it work fine for me each day between 00AM and 9AM around.

For precision, i have done nothing between the moment where it doesn't work and when it work and my conputer was alone on the network and wired.

I am having the exact same problem.  Every time I've attempted to Play:

"Retrieving matchmaking list..."

"Attempting connection 1/10..."

...

"Attempting connection 10/10..."

"Retrieving matchmaking list..."

"Attempting connection 1/10..."

... continues, but stops sometime before 10 and goes to...

"Initializing..."

I've tried: reducing the graphics options to minimal for all settings, opening network ports, setting CPU affinity for the Titanfall process, updating my video card drivers, running Windows updates, repairing via Origin, reinstalling via Origin.  No luck.

I'm a software developer, so I've also tried some unusual things like running Process Monitor to inspect what the Titanfall process is doing while "Initializing..."; it seems to stall after sending/receiving UDP packets that are 801 bytes in length, and then the only activity in the process after that is the occasional start & stop of threads in the igo64.dll, which looks like some Origin<-->Titanfall communication to me.  I'd be happy to provide any additional data that could be required to look into this, such as a process dump while hung, or any other debugging artifacts.

Good news, everyone!

I set up a packet capture on my firewall's external and internal network interfaces, and on my desktop with the game. After analyzing the packet capture, I noticed something strange: my router was requesting my desktop to fragment all its UDP packets down to 576 bytes (whereas 1500 bytes is a normal packet size).

I traced this to my external network connection on the firewall, which was configured with an MTU of 576 bytes (where, again, 1500 is a normal value). This configuration doesn't match my ISP's end of the link (which is, you know, the normal 1500 bytes). I fixed the misconfiguration, started up Titanfall, and...

Immediately connected to a server!

People of the world who are stuck at "Initializing...", I have found one more thing you can look at to fix the problem!  Good luck to all.  I have no idea how my system got into this configuration, and I think that theoretically the network connections still should have worked (albiet slower, with fragmented packets), but I will ignore those details for now and celebrate.

Dam you are a god, i have entered 1492 because i can't more and it connect immediatly, you are my saver.

i confirm it work nice for me now, i stay up if any issue go back

finaly i got some issue again but i pass the ship loading screen, now i got connection issue on joining lobby

I can play sometime and after the game and go back to scrore screen then it disconnect. The issues appear only between 20:00 and 00:00 in pacific time
