yesterday was able to connect after several tries, dx12 kept crashing the game with latest drivers on GTX card ... today cant connect at all. Opened ports/firewall allowed. Its you side EA.

See earlier post in this thread. It is highly unlikely that EA will ever fix this problem as this is no longer a "top flight game" for them and it seems to me that it is only really supported by a few dedicated individuals.
As I hope you know the only "solution" is to keep hitting that CONNECT button. If you are lucky it works first time....however it has (for me) in some rare cases taken over 20 attempts to actually go on line. Once online you are AOK! No fun but it is what it is.
Wishing you luck ......

I have found that there are multiple ways to fix this problem. One, restarting the game and/or the computer. Two, clicking the button many times. And three, sometimes if you go to the multiplayer menu there is another connect button that randomly works when the main one doesn't.

Issue is still around. affecting me currently

Go to graphics settings and disable DirectX 12. The game will run on DirectX 11. It solved my problem.

I too have this issue but it's also kicking me out of the game midway through it with this error code!

Still happening on PC, cannot authenticate on Xbox either (the verify identify page does not progress when code is entered). I played a couple days ago without issue.

It's the firewall! Be sure to include your game installation folder in the list of the exception so that your firewall won't block it! For me it was AVG...classic!
