Hopefully the absence of any personal response from the DICE team is because they're too busy fixing the new error code message. I haven't been able to play reliably since thursday.

It has been escalated to our QA team and Dev team to investigate as of Friday. Once we have more info/workaround/fix, I’ll let y’all know.

On a positive note: thx for public matchmaking in combined arms!

Bug report: if a squad member bails out after 1 round, the rest of the squad is stuck forever in the waiting screen. Even as squad leader you cannot use escape to close the game in windows.

We’ve seen reports of that and have escalated it.

Still waiting on the update for the servers you removed without giving any warning and causing massive degradation in the "live service" you sold us??

I just had a meeting with one of the Devs who showed me the graphs and details. "Massive degradation" is a bit extreme.

During peak, players had an average ping of 31.9ms when connecting to Frankfurt. Off-peak, ping was around 98ms.

You are correct that there was no warning - it was rolled out without proper messaging (which is on the Community Team), but we weren't even alerted to it. Frustration on all sides, to be sure.

Stupid question here but how I change the fire mode of the Tromboncino to fire granades? I play on PS4.

Same as you change fire mode for other guns. I think it's down on the D-Pad.

Edit: From u/johgru

It's actually hold Y (triangle on Playstation) to change fire mode

Thank you for the clarification. (Haven't played on PS4 in a while.)
