I go the game today (20th) as a birthday present and was looking forward to spending the evening with it but after like one and a half hours of reconnecting, changing data centers, resetting the game, the computer and my router, the game still can't connect. It begins with 'retrieving matchmaking list', then it counts up 'attempting connection (x out of 10)', repeats these two steps, and is stuck on 'initializing...' forever.

I've heard that you can try spamming enter to disconnect and reconnect rapidly but after many attempts it's still a no go.

So basically I'm pissed because I have no idea what's going on, whether I should keep trying, skip playing the game today and return tommorow, or if this is some major large scale issue.

Have any of you guys been experiencing similar issues? What did you do that worked?

Thanks duders

Hmm sorry mate, no connection problems at all here. Where are you living

Poland. The ping at the data center server I'm using (West EU) is 40, so not that bad I presume.

No idea, haven't experienced any of the issues for the week i've had it.

Can it be their servers are hiccuping or under maintenance, or it's just the one you're connecting to?

Sorry I can't be any more helpful.

Yup we on same data Venter, so it should be fine. I would recommend checking that titanfall is on your firewall exceptions list. Other than that, I have no idea I am afraid! I can connect fine

No issues at all, the problem has to be at your end; like Splodge said check your firewalls perhaps.

Adding firewall exemptions also doesn't work :/

Have you tried this?

If you’re having difficulties connecting to online play or to other players in Titanfall likely need to open, or forward, their online ports. Find the ports for your platform below, and then you can open your ports.

All Players

• TCP/HTTP: 443; 25000-25099; 30000 – 30099
• UDP: 8125; 25000-25099; 30000 – 30099

I've tried reistalling the game and opening ports but nothing works :/

Okay, I've visited the EA forums and it seems like this is not an isolated phenomenon.

[EDITED March 20th]

Our team is working to apply a patch that we feel will provide a better connection to the Microsoft servers and should resolve some of the issues being reported within this thread. The patch is currently being tested and will be deployed as soon as we verify the fixes being applied.

Our team will continue to collect the data posted here and keep trying to isolate possible issues.

Seems like I have nothing to do but wait...

Had some time to play today, but the servers were down for me too. Seems like its on xbone too, and only us servers apparently
