Same here. Lots of people are having issues:

[https://downdetector.com/status/ea/map/](https://downdetector.com/status/ea/map/)

Seems to be a problem in EU right now.

The question is, is EA/dice even aware of it? They don’t really look at the forums, and trying to contact their support usually just ends up with them saying the problem is on the players side, regardless of the circumstances.

yeah, basically the same issue as the last time it happened in september. I hope they don’t take a week to fix it like they did back then.

That’s not how it was for me 20 minutes ago, but right now when I was trying again, that’s exactly what happens. Just swish in, swoosh out back to server browser.

I can join, but it’s infrequent and random. Lots of random disconnects, too. You’re not alone.

Same here. It’s not a coincidence either. Seems like it’s happening across the globe. Region or ISP doesn’t matter.

Had this issue yesterday and today and both times the issue was solved by updating my Nvidia GPU drivers.

EDIT. NVM issue is still happening.

Disabling Origin in-game seems to have done the trick so far today. Not entirely certain it’s a proper workaround, though.

Disabling Origin in Game is generally the first thing we recommend when troubleshooting as it cause more than a few issues.

yes I tried that and restarted Origin and BF1 and it did the same thing. I go to select a game, and 10-15 seconds later, I was not in queue. Has it been determined to be somehting that can be cleared locaally by checking game files or reinstalling or is it just a network or server issue? Sounds / appears like a server issue, as its reported from ppl around the world, which would make it highly likely its not a network issue.

Think there’s an issue with their queue system…for me anyhow, i can join out of region servers fine, but local get connection timeout.  
Other day i noticed i was 3rd in queue for ages(like a whole round) then my mates noticed the server had 5 spots free, i cancelled the queue and rejoined straight in.  
Other times i join and and it cycles the queue seemingly fine but get connection timeout.  
So i’m guessing the queue is not cycling properly, serverside is good but client side it’s not attempting connection right away because its out by 1 to 3 slots(i’m guessing).  
Probably changed when they set everyone to premium…maybe they just changed it serverside and left client side code in.

This has been a thing for the past few months. It’s random, as are many of the other server bugs.

It seemed to work today. And yea I almost forgot about that other issue where it takes a super long time to load the game. Like scores are already up to 2-3-400 then I get in the game and icons are all white like its not loading me in fast enough or a server speed issue maybe, then finally in but cant see gun, then finally it loads in. That issue occurred for longer periods of time, and off then on again - idk how many times. lol yay
