With the Battlefield 1 beta opening up to all players today, the game is experiencing server issues for a large number of players.
After a fairly smooth rollout yesterday, the issues began popping up today as a much wider pool of people were allowed in. Players are unable to connect to EA’s servers, presenting them with the screen seen below that reads “Failed to connect to EA Online.” Being an online-only multiplayer beta, that is, suffice it to say, a major problem.
We also have seen the issue on both Xbox One and PC. There is also a lengthy thread on the Battlefield forum thread with people reporting they are unable to connect on all platforms, including PS4.
Responding to a tweet about all of this, the official Battlefield account said, “We’ve had some other reports of that. It’s being investigated.”
The Battlefield 1 open beta officially begins today after yesterday’s early access period. As of yet, no date for when it will run until has been announced.
