Servers are down at the moment error
For the past 4-5 months I have been having trouble trying to play H2H ON MADDEN 26 and it always tells me are servers are down at the moment!! At this point I’m fed up. My father in law has the game and his works perfectly fine and streamers online are able to play perfectly fine. I’ve cleared the catch and deleted the game and re-installed the game many times!! Why is my game not letting me play regular online head to head matches… I can play mut games online but not regularly online. Everytime it tells me the servers are down.

Battlefield 6 DirectX crashes can only be a problem with the game engine.
Battlefield 6 is crashing with DirectX errors on a wide range of systems. This has been happening since release and appears related to the game engine under heavy load. It needs an official fix. Many players are reporting the same behavior across different hardware and drivers. Some players say that the problem appears to have existed since Battlefield 2042. I can't confirm that myself, as I haven't played BF2042 for very long. My system: - CPU: [I7 14700K] - GPU: [RTX 3090] - RAM: [DDR5/ 64gb / 6400mhz] - Storage: [M.2 SDD/NVme] - Motherboard and BIOS: [MSI Z790 Carbon WiFi/latest] - OS: Windows 11 [24H2] fully updated - Display: [1440P/ultrawide] - Driver: NVIDIA [latest] clean installed with DDU Error codes: - DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG - DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED What happens: - Crashes occur sporadically - Sometimes only the game and open Steam processes die (most in my Case) - Sometimes the entire PC reboots (for some players) - there is no consistent pattern by map or time into the match But there are repeated DirectX related crashes that are not fixed by normal maintenance or driver changes. Steps to reproduce: 1. Launch the game normally from Steam or EA App 2. Join RedSec or Conquest mode 3. Played it through heavy action for a few minutes to tens of minutes or Sometimes over one hours 4. Crash with one of the codes above Impact: - Progress and match results are broken - Time is wasted on failed troubleshooting - This affects many players, not isolated edge cases What I have already tried: (None of the following resolved the issue) - Drivers and OS: - Clean driver installs with DDU for multiple versions - Switching between Game Ready and Studio drivers - Windows updates and optional cumulative updates - Removing all overlays and capture tools - Graphics API and launch options: - Launching with -d3d11 - Disabling or enabling the different Anti-lag and upscaling ingame options. - Forcing different shader cache settings in the driver - BIOS and firmware: - Enabling and disabling Resizable BAR - Updating GPU VBIOS - Updating motherboard BIOS and chipset drivers - Power and stability: - Returning CPU and GPU to stock clocks - Disabling XMP or EXPO - Raising power limits or lowering them to stock - Checking PSU capacity and Performance - disable PCI-Express - Link State Power Management on Windows - set Windows PWR-Management to ultimate Performance - Game files and cache: - Verifying files via Steam - Reinstalling the game on a different drive - Deleting DX shader caches - switching Graphics settings - Dropping all settings Low - Disabling Anti-lag and upscalers - Reducing resolution to well below native - Frame cap on and off (ingame and rtss) - Vsync on and off - disable Freesync/gsync - Workarounds that are not solutions: - Artificially throttling performance to keep GPU load very low (this seems to be working) - Running windowed or borderless - (Not tested long enough yet) - Disabling all background apps and services - (Not tested long enough yet) Community signal: Multiple reports show the same DirectX crash codes and the same failure of the usual fixes. The scope appears broad across GPUs from different vendors, multiple driver lines, and fully updated Windows systems. -- All this points to an engine side stability issue under specific render or memory pressure conditions.-- What we need from EA and the dev team: Official acknowledgement that this is being tracked as a top priority and a targeted hotfix or a detailed workaround that does not **bleep** performance. If a driver side change is needed, coordinated guidance with NVIDIA and AMD. Optional: a temporary toggle to disable the specific feature set that triggers the crash. Clear communication on progress and an estimated timeline for a fix. This is blocking normal play for many of us. A stable fix would go a long way for the community. Thank you.
Solved on PC. Play at full power.
Respect to the entire FC 26 gaming community 🖖 To get started, go to the NVidia App and configure the following settings: 1. Set the refresh rate slightly lower than your display's maximum frame rate (for example, if your monitor is 144 FPS, but you set it manually to 140 FPS). This will eliminate lag and stuttering in the game. 2. Set LOW Latency Mode to ULTRA. 3. Set Power Management Mode to mostly maximum performance. 4. Disable Vertical Sync completely. 5. Enable Texture Filtering - Anisotropic Sample Optimization. 6. Enable Texture Filtering - Trinilear Optimization. 7. Phys X - your discrete graphics card (NVIDIA/AMD) Second, launch the game and set the DISPLAY settings: 1. Competitive everywhere 2. Refresh rate - your monitor's refresh rate (e.g., 144 fps) 3. Full Frame Rate - Unlimited 4. Vsync - Disable 5. Render Scale - 100 6. Dynamic Resolution Target - your display's refresh rate (e.g., 144 fps) 7. Dynamic Resolution Scale - Disable In the GRAPHICS tab: 1. Motion blur - Disable 2. Hair movement - optionally disable. Let me know if this helped. Happy New Year to everyone, and may you have a good, high-quality ping in FC 26 ✌️
Cpu and gpu usage skyrocketing in Menu.
I have a high end laptop. I was having 60 degrees both on cpu and gpu but for 2-3 days when i boot the game im reaching 90 degrees both cpu and gpu. When i get into a game its fine. But in the menus, its a nightmare. I think its the anticheat. I already submit in forms. Please fix EA.Game Softlocks at Zen Garden — No Way to Continue (v1.5.0)
Zen garden has me locked out CM title edit Latest CM post: UNDER INVESTIGATION Hi everyone 🌱, We’re aware of reports regarding a potential soft lock related to unlocking the Zen Garden in Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to report this. The team is actively investigating the cause of the problem and exploring potential solutions to resolve it. That said, due to the holiday period, we unfortunately don’t yet have a confirmed timeline for a fix. We understand how frustrating progression issues can be, and we appreciate your patience while we work through this. As soon as we have more concrete information or updates to share, we’ll let you know right away here. Thanks again for sticking with us.
Stutters, hiccups , framedrops i found the cause!! Edit***
So after hours of testing today, I found the cause of stutters, frame drops, etc. It's the Javelin anti-cheat, which overloads one or two CPU cores when you press WASD, 1, 2, or 3, the enter button, or certain letters. The CPU core goes to 100%, and this results in stutters. It's affecting all Battlefield titles, so please fix this, Dice! Edit** I noticed that pressing certain keyboard keys (like number keys or arrow keys) causes noticeable micro-stutters in BF1, BFV, and BF6. FPS stays high, GPU load is fine, and CPU cores aren’t maxed. Mouse movement or clicks don’t trigger this. It seems to happen only with keys that change the game state (weapon switch, zeroing, gadgets). Rapidly pressing these keys makes spikes worse (dpc latency.) Shader cache warm-up reduces it slightly, and capping FPS also helps mask the spikes. From what I can tell, the cause is kernel-level anti-cheat checks (Javelin/EA AC) validating discrete input. These checks temporarily block the main game thread, which shows up as micro-stutter, even though CPU/GPU aren’t overloaded. This isn’t a hardware or driver issue—it’s a side effect of the anti-cheat + Frostbite engine. please fix this soon!Ultimate team connection is horrible
how can you ever expect someone to get through an event with the **bleep** level of server connections this game has pressing anything is a 50/50 you get disconnected from the servers AND EVEN THOUGH THE GAME KNOWS YOU DIDNT EVEN LOAD IN YOU STILL GET A LOSS IVE LOST 3 SEASONS IN A ROW FROM GAMES I HAVENT EVEN GOTTEN INTO
