What To Do When Battlefield 1 Can’t Connect To EA Servers?

After the release of Battlefield 5, DICE decided to stop releasing the monthly updates for Battlefield 1.

So, Battlefield 1 players are left on their own for the time being, or forever assuming DICE won’t be returning its focus to Battlefield 1.

But that doesn’t mean you are alone as we are here for you. Here we have shown some troubleshooting steps that you need to perform when BF 1 can’t connect to the servers.

1. Check Your Network Connection

Battlefield 1 won’t connect to the EA server if you do not have a stable internet connection.

You can try restarting your device and router to fix many minor networking issues. Here is what you need to do:

Switch off your device and router.
Disconnect both of them from all the power sources.

Wait for 3-5 minutes.
Connect all the power connections and turn the power on.

If you are connected through Wi-Fi, then keep the PC close to your router.

Try to connect through Ethernet cable. It will provide a more stable connection and faster internet speed.

Also, check the EA server status by visiting the Downdetector site.

2. Reset Network Settings

If you still can’t connect on Battlefield 1, then reset your network settings.

To do so, follow the steps given below:

Type cmd on the Windows search bar and right-click on the first displayed option. Select Run as administrator from the menu.

Enter the following commands and hit Enter after each command:

ipconfig /flushdns

ipconfig /renew

ipconfig /registerdns

Now, restart your PC and try to connect to the EA server. If the issue persists, then go to the next solution.

3. Update Network

Outdated driver can also initiate the server connection issue.

So update your network drivers to fix the problem. To do so, follow the steps below:

Press Windows + X to open the Power menu and select Device Manager from the list.
Expand the Network adapters option and right-click on the internet driver and select the Update driver option.

On the next window click on the Search automatically for drivers option.

If the update is available Windows will automatically download the latest version and install them.

4. Use VPN

Use a VPN when you can’t connect to Battlefield 1 to the EA server.

VPN can help you connect to other game servers if the one in your region is not working.

There are several VPNs available in the market. So, you can pick one as per your preference.

Install the VPN application in your system and connect it to a server.

Check if you can connect to the Battlefield 1 servers, else go to the next solution.

5. Disable Antivirus

If you are using any third-party antivirus program, uninstall it.

Uninstall the application following the steps given below:

Press the Windows key + R keys simultaneously to open the Run utility.

Type control on the dialog box and click on the OK button.

Click on Uninstall a Program under the Programs tab.

Select your application, right-click on it and click on the Uninstall option.

Follow the onscreen wizard to complete the process.
Restart the PC and check your Battlefield 1 connection.
