Players are struggling to get online in the likes of FIFA, Battlefield 5, and Star Wars: Battlefront 2, as EA continues to experience issues across its entire server network following the launch of Anthem’s VIP demo earlier today.
EA’s server troubles began around 5pm UK time this evening, as BioWare’s VIP demo event got underway. In the rush to play, servers quickly became overwhelmed, with players reporting continued difficulties joining a session.
Community manager Jesse Anderson was quick to respond, telling players via Twitter that, “Servers are getting SLAMMED”, and that the “team is working on it as we speak.” Shortly after, EA Help reported that “more server capacity” was being added in a bid to ease network woes.
