Maxx, could you change the title of your topic to "Error Code 1,066 with 494 MB update". It should be known that this update causes a connection problem. I have a feeling more people will be posting here soon.

This issue has happened with the game in the past with other updates and the suggestions given were to change your location in the game itself (Options --> EA Account --> Ping Site), which did not solve the problem for me, and re-installing the game, which I don't think anyone here wants to do.

Here are the articles I found (THEY DO NOT FIX THE PROBLEM):
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Battlefront-II-Error-Code-1-066/td-p/6869724
https://answers.ea.com/t5/EA-General-Questions/error-code-1066-battlefront-2/td-p/6836699

I'm still trying to figure out what is going on, but if no one is able to play, then I won't be matched with anyone to begin with. It could be a Catch-22 situation here. The developers have remained silent in this discussion area and have given no details regarding what this 494 MB update fixes. I hope they come up with a fix soon.

Here are a few other article guides from EA, if anyone would like to try:

I've had no luck with them, and I'm not going to re-install. ^

That is the size of the entire game when you download it.

Might be worth arranging a small group of us to all set to the same ping site, and all search at the same time. It would only take a few of us if we try co-op since it caps out at four people. I'm down if you are

[Darth Moxy]

co-op matches aren't working . after 2 mins it shows error 1066


did validating and didn't seem to work. no files were missing from validation

[AngriusMaximus]

Same issue here with that new update. Error Code 1,066 when attempting to connect to a Co-Op Session, both now and 4 hours prior.

No news from EA on their Twitter or even the SWBF2 site.

The Origin client however does state that there was an update for the client on 18 Aug ~10.15pm though, so unsure if it is related to that....

Am currently validating the game files to see if that resolves the issue...


Update:
Re-verifying the game files did nothing. Issue still present... also STILL NO NEWS from EA
