Australian servers are all down/constantly crashing today?

@SumwhatKrazy Sorry you feel that way. Our Announcements section is chock full of updates, news, and info. If you’re unsure of where it is, it’s at the top of every major section (differentiated by the game.)

Regarding this particular issue, we’re still working with our teams and partners in the region to resolve the connectivity issue affecting our APAC players. We have seen some recovery, but will continue driving towards a resolution.

Thanks.

Admittedly i hadn’t even looked in there. I was just going on what i had heard. I’d heard some announcements or updates in the past had only been made on twitter.

Would be nice if it were fixed by the weekend. I got some cravings to play tonight/this morning.

Its hardly an update if it has no information in it, and is out of date (now 6 days old).

We are now entering 2 weeks of this farce. I worked in IT, 2 weeks of servers failing and people would be losing their jobs and contracts. Hopefully this results in EA/DICE having a good hard look at this joke of a business model…but im cynical they made their money. By the lack of actual results indicates there is no real care. And again you post but the word ‘priority’ is failing to be seen.

In the time frame of 2 weeks you could have found another provider, if not temporary, migrated the servers, and got the game up and running and avoided having the community grow to hate.

FG_Shadow = SPot on I work in the Industry to for a hosting company if we did this to our customers we would be shown the door. To be down this long and not be provided any technical specifics on the issue tells me they are doing NOTHING !!. The best thing we can all do is not purchase BF in this country / region again the only thing these muppets understand is when revenue drops and like you have pointed out they have made there money so they couldn’t care less.

That’s not an update that’s pathetic its the same BS responses you have been peddling for 2 weeks now. 2 WEEKS !!! Lets just think about that for a moment

Do you want them to lie and tell you that it’s fixed?

If they did, then you would throw a fit about that.

No what they should be doing is something along the lines of

EA has identified an issue causing the following Symptoms’

  1. Game crashing
  2. Servers no longer showing players online
  3. Servers with extended ping times
  4. Connection issues.

EA support have engaged the following teams and are working on patch XXXXX in order to address this issues which is expected to be tested and deployed on XXX date.

Obviously with more detail and more specifics as to what is being done which I don’t have.

Its not that removed hard really give people good information and they are less likely to be hammering you but right now and from what we have seen in the last two weeks they are giving lip service which in my opinion is basically like giving us the middle finger.

that’s NOT how you treat customers in any industry !!!

As an Australian BF fan, I am appalled at some of the comments in this forum by certain individuals. I’m sorry you have to deal with such insensitive people. While I am extremely frustrated by the servers not working for over a week, I would like to say that I appreciate the update that your teams are still working on all the issues. Thanks!

Well, We got 1 days play in yesterday and till lunch time today just now Friday and they are now crashing again. Sigh.

What a weak outlook on the current situation. I would side with you if it was a a few days but nearly 2 weeks! Come on ffs! We don’t even have an estimated date or time of when this will be fixed! Last update I recall was a week ago now which was just the usual standard rubbish acknowledging there’s an issue which we all knew.

Would you be happy to sit idle if your mobile was disconnected for 2 weeks with no ETA on it being reconnected? Would you be happy if your internet went down for 2 weeks again with no ETA on it being reconnected? Have you forgotten you paid for Battlefield 1?

I don’t think asking for a tiny bit of information on what exactly is causing the issue is asking too much, especially after 2 weeks! After all, we are the consumer and we paid for this rubbish! It’s not good enough and it’s simply taking the removed out of people.

This waste of time is still broken. Thought some improvement. Played couple rounds then massive ping spikes and disconnection.

Until they officially tell us that they have fixed what ever issue their patch created was, I expect crashing to continue.

Your player profile shows you are relatively new to BF1. You haven’t invested nearly as many hours in playtime like a lot of us veterans. So I think it is a bit rich for you to start judging people and you certainly do not represent the majority of veteran BF1 players in Australia. You must be reading a different thread as I see no informative update from EA in this thread.

Played multiple games tonight without a single issue. The lack of transparency is still disappointing, but kudos to the team for getting it working in time for a Friday night.

In an age of “games as a service” we get first hand experience and a glowing indictment of what’s to come. You’re not valued as a consumer, you expected a product you bought to work? No, inferior quality and if you complain you’re given half- responses by community mitigaters. You think that “we got what we paid for already” yet it’s not the case, we’re being peddled these always online, multiplayer focused games and then to have their base fall out from underneath them is a farce. As for the servers, they forced people into buying official servers only and then can’t even deliver on that front, the game’s been plagued with connection issues almost religiously and for a game that’s about the 6th or so entry? The people expect more, the people expect better. Deliver.

Servers are crashing again 1.57pm NZ time.

Around 12noon experienced 3 crashes on 3 different servers. Different loads and maps on each server.

Servers are stuffed again with the same issue we’ve had for 2 weeks now - huge packet loss followed by disconnection. Any fixes we’ve had were temporary at best.
Frustrating for all concerned to say the least.

Yup -A1- Conquest Server crashed plus X8s , this time was a bit different as last time servers crashed after starting or when full , this time when you join has been lagging up bad right away and can crash with just a few on at times , it seems worse this time for that reason , no more to say its all been said before…PEACE ;(

!!!still unplayable!!!
