And with that, it's just about time for me to take my holiday, too. Thank you for being such a wonderful community this year. I couldn't have asked for better!
See you in the stars, pilots.
Edit: And thank you for the birthday wishes, too!

The following is a list of the fixes we’ve made in this update. With that, we’re heading out for our winter break and we’ll see you in the stars! Happy holidays, pilots! And may the Force be with you.

Y'all said you had no plans for updates but you pulled a fast one on us. So I mean...
Yeah, but I'm not lying this time, haha!
Thanks for the reply! I don't think they were linked since the old xbox acount was under my mom's email. Just went into game and didn't receive anything sadly. That's what I get for not updating my information after I moved out a few years back....
If you still have access to that old EA account (or can ask your mother to do it), you could always unlink them from her account and link them to yours.
Or, if you have EA Play (or soon for Xbox Game Pass on PC), you can also try the games through there.
PSA: You DO accrue leaver penalty points if you bail on a lobby. We don’t directly dock your SR like we do if you leave mid-game, but you’ll get leaver penalty points for dodging a lobby. If you do it repeatedly, you’ll end up in the low priority queue.
Well this kinda stinks, I owned bf 2015, bf2, fallen order all on my xbox and I switched to pc for this game.... I guess I don't get this sweet stuff :(
You should be good! If your Xbox account is connected to the same EA account as your PC's account, I think it'll work just fine! Sign in to EA.com to check which accounts are linked to it.
Last one probably. Something for everybody to enjoy :D Have a nice Christmas and see you on the battlefield.
What's your in-game username? The security team I mean...uh...
Listen, I think you're cheating and should be banned just to be safe. Has nothing to do with that Palpatine.
Any assistance removing a dropout penalty incurred during these issues? Yesterday, mid game I everything froze and the match dropped. I was unable to join again, with sudden penalty, without receiving the admin error referenced elsewhere here.
Unfortunately no, with a few specific exceptions there’s no way for the game to recognize the difference between a connectivity problem and someone who willfilly disconnected. The penalty system has some leeway in it precisely for this reason, but if you lose your connection over and over then you’ll burn through that leeway. Thus all we can do is do our best to seek out causes of disconnects and squash them (when it’s possible to do so from our side).
On that note: We made a change about 3 hours ago that should dramatically reduce lobby disconnects specifically. So far telemetry indicates that it’s working, but we’ll continue to monitor it.
Captain Carson Teva and wingmate Trapper Wolf, while both deeply valued members of the New Republic Navy, are not a part of Vanguard Squadron and have been assigned to their own missions. Further intel is restricted to the New Republic high command.
(Sorry, no plans!)
Some explanation as to why "match administrator" is removing us from public lobbies and/or in-progress games (and earning us Low Priority Queue as a result) would be wonderful.
There appears to be a bug involving server timeouts, which is under investigation, and the nature of that bug is such that it uses the wrong error code.
So if you get a message about "match administrator" and you aren't in a custom game, then what actually happened is a timeout with the server.
An update to MM went live a couple of hours ago that should help with this considerably. Please let us know if you continue to have trouble.

Update went live an hour or two ago that will hopefully resolve these issues. Please let us know if you continue to have problems. :)
I have been waiting for that Imperial set for SO LONG! Finally!

Oof, sorry about this, folks. We’re working on it as fast as we can.
In the mean time, just so you know: I’ve noticed a lot of people commenting that they’re restarting their search after a few minutes. You definitely don’t want to do that—the way MM works, it gets more forgiving the longer it runs (until it times out), so if you restart it every few minutes you’re shooting yourself in the foot.
Next revision is now live, attempting to better balance the MM rules so that we’re still trying to balance the teams as best we can, but we don’t want top-tier players left out in the cold. Give it a whirl, feedback welcome.
Thanks for your response, I got the Valiant rank just before the update, then matchmaking time went from 50s to 6min, but the couple games I had were only with high skill players, that was great, but then I got kicked out of 3 games just after joining the lobby and got the "leaver penalty". Since then, I just can't find a game even if I wait for the full 10 minutes.
I appreciate that you are trying to improve MM and the couple games I played were awesome but I can live with a wider skill range as long as I'm not playing with/against teams with 3 people with lvl 6-10 like it was before :-)
The “getting kicked out of lobbies” thing is a separate issue from matchmaking, but yup, it’s on our radar and under investigation.
Glad to hear you’re getting better matches, albeit after a longer wait. The next revision will attempt to get the “best of both worlds.” :)

For both modes, or are you currently just focusing on Fleet Battles match making at this time?
Both.
