EA says it is “scaling new servers to receive them on Battlefront”.
A stack of new Star Wars Battlefront II players, courtesy of the latest draw from the Epic Games Store, crashed the servers.
As we reported last week, the current Epic freebie – the Battlefront II Celebration Edition – features all post-launch additions, as well as all cosmetic content previously available as in-game purchases, up to and including those released as part of the update. game Rise of Skywalker.
However, since the freebie was released, many players have had trouble connecting to online servers, reporting error codes 623, 918 and 721 – all of which translate to server problems.
623 or 918 inch error message #StarWarsBattlefrontII?
Hang in there, we’re done! An incredible number of players joined us during our @EpicGames Free store this week and we are scaling up new servers to welcome everyone to Battlefront.– EA Help (@EAHelp) January 15, 2021

“Do you see error message 623 or 918 in #StarWarsBattlefrontII?” EA recently tweeted (thanks, PC Gamer). “Hang in there, we’re on it! An incredible number of players joined us during our free week at the @EpicGames Store and we are currently escalating new servers to welcome you all to Battlefront.”
Despite a subsequent tweet that reported that “the issue affecting the ability of the #StarWarsBattlefrontII server has been resolved” and wished all players “may the Force be with you”, players are apparently continuing to experience difficulties, which is frustrating those who want to do the good of the double XP weekend promotion.
Players can add the Star Wars Battlefront 2 Celebration Edition to their Epic Store libraries at no cost from now until January 21, 2021.
