Battlefield 1943 Problems

If you’ve downloaded the game at all, you’ll know that there are some problems with Battlefield 1943. Mainly, the servers have reached their maximum capacity. EA & DICE hope to have this sorted by tomorrow morning (UK Time). Gordan Van Dyke (A DICE employee) has created a forum thread with regular updates on the situation here.

Another problem that people seem to be encountering is an error message that states that you cannot connect to EA Online. The fix for this is a little bothersome, but it works.

First of all, download the Fight Night Round 4 demo. Once you’ve downloaded it, play it. Once you start to play it, skip the cutscene. After that, skip the tutorial. Unless you actually want to play this.

After you skip/play through the tutorial, you should get to the main menu. On the main menu there should be an option about an EA Account. Select this and enter your account details Save them and exit the demo. Once you start up Battlefield 1943, it should work.
