Unable to play multiplayer (PC) consistently getting "connection to server timed

Question

As the title says I'm currently unable to play multiplayer due to this error. I am able to search for a game and then after a lengthy load screen I am returned to the main menu with the message "connection to server timed out". It has been reported by several other people in this thread on the forums (https://forums.titanfall.com/en-us/discussion/5547/error-connection-to-server-timed-out) and on the game's subreddit.

I have tried any solution I could find such as turning off other network adapters, switching routers and data centers, adjusting the interface metric (as outlined here: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/27994/how-to-change-the-priority-of-wiredwireless-network-cards-in-windows/) and repairing the install through origin and none of it has worked. Some people have suggested its a time related issue between 5pm GMT and 12:00 but I have been unable to test it outside of this time frame (I'm connecting European servers but the issue is being reported from several countries so I'm not sure if thats relevant)

I am currently using wired Ethernet on a college network and have tried directly connecting the cable to the PC and connecting through a router. All other games work fine including Battlefield 1 and I had no issues running the single player portions of the game.
I have yet to see any official response from Respawn on this issue despite the numerous threads and posts about it. If you have been able to solve this problem or have contacted Respawn about it I would appreciate any information.

Either way this issue seems to effect a large number of players and there is very little in terms of discussion or visibility surrounding the it

Edit: after speaking with EA support they suggested I needed to open the ports used specifically by Titanfall 2 and having done so the issue wasn't resolved. I am relatively confident that this is not the issue as I was able to get into one game before I encountered the same issue again and have yet to get into a game since&nbsp;

Hello&nbsp;@Gamingpro83&nbsp;

Have you also disabled the hidden network adapters? We also have this article here on the PC connectivity troubleshooting. Let me know if anything will help you get online.

Cheers,

Answer

I have tried disabling them along with the other suggested solutions from both EA and other users encountering the same issue and none of them have worked. Either the same issue persists where I get stuck on the loading screens before being sent back to the main menu or it will infinity search for a data center regardless of which one I choose to connect to. I was able to play one game before the issue returned and I am able to play other origin games without issue such as both Battlefield 1 and the original Titanfall

Have you tried to open the corresponding TCP ports on your router? Have you tried to run the game on some other PC?&nbsp;

Answer

Tried opening other ports with no luck, haven't got another computer to try it on but even if it worked on another computer that wouldn't really fix my problem.

Right now we are trying to understand if the issue is your PC related, or a network related. Trying to run the game on another PC would defensively help us to determine this. &nbsp;But we can still try a few more things to get you back into game. Have you already tried Clean boot? Repaired/reinstalled the game in Origin?&nbsp;
