After the last patch I’ve been having one major issue. Every time I load up to the main menu. It ask me for a update. When I do it won’t let me connect online. It just says connecting forever. I’ve contacted ea they pretty much told me to go kick rocks. It takes me a hour of deleting saved memory and doing other things. Anybody else having this issue? I’m sick of having to do the rain dance to play online. ---

I am not but 2 of my friends are. They have not heard pack from dice or EA. I have tried troubleshooting with them, and nothing works. They have uninstalled and reinstalled and restarted their router, and everything the troubleshoot says to do. Dice needs to fix this issue, are you on Xbox One X, OG, or S. They are both on the OG xbox. ---

Doesn’t fix the issues at all! And I’m hard wired. > [@larry\_54235](#): > > > [@YoJewFriend](#): > > > > After the last patch I’ve been having one major issue. Every time I load up to the main menu.

Like really ea! Bf4 works great. Bf1 and Bfv won’t connect online. It wants to do a update in the main menu I do it , it won’t connect to ea server on both games. I’ve reset my router, I’ve reset my alternate MAC address. Tried to long in off line. Like I’ve been playing since bad company 2. This is horse ¯\_(ツ)\_/¯! ---

Having the same problem, just reset my xbox, router, reinstalled, alternate mac address, looked through my router settings, logged in to origin/ea - about everything i can do and still not working along with bf4 and bf1. I have 2 consoles here (my wife and i both have all of them and none working) and cant play on either. ---

Few weeks ago my NAT switched to strict and I tried everything with the router, settings, called internet provider, finally called xbox directly and then ran some update on their end and had me restart my console and NAT went to open and game worked fine after that. Try to contact xbox directly.
