Hey all!
New poster here!
I am facing an extremely annoying issue in MP which might very well push me to stop playing the game completely...
Very frequently, upon readying up in a lobby and starting a match, instead of getting the map loading screen, I will get a black screen with a loading circle on the bottom right.
When that happens, there are 3 outcomes:
1 - After waiting 5-10 seconds, the map actually loads but I get some UBER lag in the match. This happens even if the host had 4 bars.
2 - After waiting 5-10 seconds, I get a loading screen that takes me back to the main menu...
3 - I can wait up to a minute without anything happening, so I am forced to go to the PS4 home screen, do a network test so that it disconnects my MP session in Andromeda.
Both points 2 and 3 are EXTREMELY frustrating as it takes me back to the main menu where I need to wait again for a connection, then load back the MP etc etc...
As I mentioned in point 3, I am playing the game on PS4 (Pro). I have a 50Mbps/8 connection which is very stable. My PS4 connection status shows everything fine (NAT2), I experimented a lot with my router and I know nothing's wrong there either. Ports used by PS4/Andromeda are open and I even tried putting the PS4 in a DMZ...
When I play, the PS4 is the only device in the entire house using the bandwidth, no downloads, no streaming, nothing.
The issue I am facing is exactly the same as in this bug report filled by some guy who plays on PC:
answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/ME-A-Multiplayer-Stuck-on-black-loading-screen-upon-loading-a/td-p/6008726
Now I doubt deleting the entire game folder and redownloading the game will solve anything (I have the digital deluxe version). I did do a database rebuild from safe mode but that didn't solve anything.
Finally, this is the only MP game I've had problems with. I know we don't get dedicated servers here but I haven't heard anyone getting the same problems as me. I usually post on GFaqs and not a single person has this black screen issue.
Can anyone help here? Any idea what I could try next to get rid of this issue for good?
Thanks in advance!
