<p>With the <a href="http://ift.tt/1T3cyBM">Battlefield 1</a> beta opening up to all players today, the game is experiencing server issues for a large number of players.</p>
<p dir="ltr">After a fairly smooth rollout yesterday, the issues began popping up today as a <a href="http://ift.tt/2bBdVv4">much wider pool of people were allowed in</a>. Players are unable to connect to EA&#8217;s servers, presenting them with the screen seen below that reads &quot;Failed to connect to EA Online.&quot; Being an online-only multiplayer beta, that is, suffice it to say, a major problem.</p>

<p dir="ltr">A number of us on GameSpot are running into the issue on both <a href="http://ift.tt/1gvajmS">Xbox One</a> and <a href="http://ift.tt/1e8dJIN">PC</a>. (We&#8217;ve also run into a related issue where matchmaking fails.) This has spawned a <a rel="nofollow" href="http://ift.tt/2bCejtt">lengthy thread</a> on the Battlefield forum thread with people reporting they are unable to connect on all platforms, including <a rel="nofollow" href="http://ift.tt/2bCejtt">PS4</a>.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Responding to a tweet about all of this, the official Battlefield account <a rel="nofollow" href="https://twitter.com/Battlefield/status/771048955970850816">said</a>, &quot;We&#8217;ve had some other reports of that. It&#8217;s being investigated.&quot; We&#8217;ll report back once we receive more information.</p>
<p>The Battlefield 1 open beta officially begins today after yesterday&#8217;s early access period. As of yet, <a href="http://ift.tt/2bCjXaD">no date for when it will run until has been announced</a>.</p>
