Connecting... No server found and then getting disconnected loop?

[Unselles]

Anyone else getting stuck in this "Connecting..." loop? When it connects I always get a disconnection error that just has a bunch of pluses in it. So I'm guessing it's that hacker everyone is talking about?

Is it even possible to play TF1 these days, or the game is completely unplayable?

At the moment it looks like the servers are being blocked by someone. It's been going on for about a week now. Please help raise the profile of the issue by adding a "Me too" to these threads on EA:

The Titanfall board:
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Titanfall/No-connectivity-to-Titanfall-PC-servers/m-p/9988943#M44232

The general board, which should be more visible to EA and other players:

edit: I've removed the second link because while EA are not willing to go to the effort of opening a dialogue, they do appear to want to keep their general message board clean of things which make them look bad. They moved my comment to the original thread, but didn't do anything useful, like respond.

@Pyrosopher, thanks! I've added my voice to the threads you mentioned. I own TF1 since 2015, and I'd love to play it again.. but it looks like I'd have to stick to TF2 until the issue is resolved. :c

Has anyone tried to reach out to Respawn / EA on Twitter, or there is no hope for a response from them there?

[Yikes Forever]

SeanaSolo, someone has opened up a new thread showing that Twitter has worked out better. I'm glad that's happened, it feels like I've been shouting into the wind and was about out of friendly ideas.

Guys! Im not sure if this is any good news or bad news but i tried to connect to a server in titanfall 1 again today on pc and instead of it saying something like +|+|+|+TE-9 it says +|+|+|+8.

[Unselles]

Nah, that doesn't mean anything. It's all the same thing.

[General Shepherd]

Still not fixed.

Hallo, ich bekomme mit Fallout (1) keine Verbindung zum Server, egal zu welcher Tageszeit. Weiß jemand, was hier los ist?

Hello, I cannot connect to the server with Fallout (1), no matter what time of day. Does anyone know what's going on here?

[General Shepherd]

Still no servers.

For anyone curious, this has been happening for years. There was someone who used to go by the name Jeanue a couple of years ago. He wasn't a very good player and ended up picking up a hacked client...funnily enough he still sucked.

There's no way to be certain but most of the PC Titanfall players believe this is the person messing with the servers. He figured out a couple of exploits with Origin and was able to spoof his name as other people in-game. He figured out how to crash people's games using some buffer overflow in the source engine but the community ended up writing a custom fix and that was the end of that.

Jeanue eventually realized he wasn't able to crash people nor was he able to join their private lobbies and kill everyone with his hacks so he left for a bit. But he recently returned again during the steam release. Bots would hold servers hostage by attempting to connect to public/private lobbies but would never fully connect if that makes sense? Basically, it would always say a player was "Connecting..." but they would never actually load in and since the servers would wait for all the players to connect you would never be able to get into a game.

I guess he found another exploit in the servers because most of the servers are currently offline and there's no way to play.

Thankfully, EA/Respawn seems to have FINALLY noticed that there is something wrong with the servers and are taking a look at it (https://twitter.com/TitanfallBlog/status/1354189163906666497) but it's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ outrageous. This has been happening for the past 3-4 years. I would highly recommend you steer clear from the PC release of this game. I love this game so much...way more than Titanfall 2, but I can't recommend this game knowing EA/Respawn don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about their old products and it's probably going to die again in a few months if they do figure out a fix for the servers.

--------------------

On another note too, he has been attacking the origin/steam accounts of people who called him out in-game or for whatever reason. Basically brute-forcing them and then turning them into a bot. I've already lost 3 Titanfall 1 friends to this. Thanks for being ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ useless EA.

Just when I get this game finally reinstalled :(

[General Shepherd]

The response to my complaints that I get from EA Help isn't very helpful. She obviously doesn't read my email because I was complaining about the hacker and about the servers being down:

Thank you for these updates. I’ve passed along details of this to our Titanfall/TOS teams as well. If you notice this on any EA servers, please always feel free to report it to us using the steps in this article as well:

This is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. EA doesn't give a ♥♥♥♥ and that tweet is just a clickbait. I don't know why do they have a verified check mark using a trademark they don't own, but their info isn't correct.
