    No issue, clear your app data. They forced a full asset download. If yours is choking then delete the data and force it to download from the app stores.

  • I've updated and have been playing fine, but in the past hour, I'm stuck at the splash screen "checking for updates"

    Same here. Servers down? I did the whole download a new client thing yesterday.

    Deleted my client and redownloaded. Didn't fix anything. Still stuck at Checking for Updates. After a while it times out and says something is wrong with my connection, even though everything else works OK.
  • I have been trying to get in for the past 20 minutes. Cleared cache/data, stuck on checking for updates. Also help.ea.com is down currently so cant even open a ticket.

    This site can’t be reached
    help.ea.com took too long to respond.
  • Also should note was working fine for me all day until about 20 minutes ago

    They'd better have it back up at least an hour before the arena cycle ends. Grrr. And don't listen to Gair. I'd better not have to redownload assets in game, every precious second counts now that there's only 2 hours and 55 minutes before the arena cycle ends and who knows when they'll get the servers up.
  • Having the same issue. I'm on Spectrum and they are reporting massive outages all along the east coast.

  • It works for me only if I turn off wifi.

    I'm on Spectrum as well, but I'm having no problem accessing anything else on the Internet. I don't want to risk using data by turning wifi off. No idea how much data this game uses.

    Not just that but other games on my iphone and PC work just fine. Even the EA MMO Star Wars the Old Republic.

    Maybe the servers ea uses for this game are down only?

    That's what it looks like, but I have no idea if everyone is affected or only Spectrum users.

    I have no idea how this stuff works but if the ea servers were down wouldn't we be spinning our gears on data as well?

    True. Doesn't make much sense either way.
  • It is only affecting Spectrum users for some odd reason. I just turn off my wifi and I am now using 4G and it works perfectly now.
  • Could be EA's feed into spectrum on the East coast is affected. When using wireless like VZ it would have a possible different interconnect into EA.

  • Looks like it may be an AWS outage. Traceroutes to help.ea.com show it going into AWS network and dying. AWS DNS isnt responding the requests either.
