I just moved into a new apartment where they already had wifi set up with Metronet. I was having issues with the Wifi when I tried to play online games; they would continuously fail to connect to online servers and, while I attempted to join online servers, if I happened to be in a Discord call at the time, my connection would fail there as well and even if I left the call and tried to rejoin it would be stuck "connecting". I called the service provider and tried to ask if the issue had something to do with something I read about Double NAT (which I still don't really understand) and they refused to acknowledge that possibility and instead updated the routers as they'd apparently been behind in several updates (the system uses a nokia router/modem and a single eero router mesh station).

That seemed to work at the time and when I went to play on a game with some friends it worked for like ten or fifteen minutes, but then the earlier issue started happening again. I've tried to restart the routers and even tried plugging one of the stations in and not the other for which I tried both stations. I have to note that so far the only way to reset whatever seems to happen is to restart my computer entirely. I even tried hooking my computer up to ethernet but that hadn't changed anything. One thing the service member told me on the phone was that they use rotating IP addresses and that they offer a stable IP address service but that'd cost an extra charge.

Anyways, I was really hoping for some insight or if anyone had any solutions. I considered that a VPN might fix it if it is that rotating IP that's causing this. So really just any insight might help.

So, I've had battlefront before on my Xbox and I just recently decided to get it on Steam because of the sale and my friend getting it aswell. Anyways I got on the game the other day and just played offline/single player modes, so the campaign and whatnot, and I had zero issues whatsoever.

Then I tried to play multiplayer and that's where the issue started. I didn't know what I wanted to play so I just loaded a quick start match. That began to load in just fine, it connected me to a co-op game and opened the loading screen. A few seconds into waiting for the game to load, it just shut off. No crash, no freezing, no crash report, nothing, only that the EA launcher opened.

So I figured "hey that's weird" so I restarted the game from, the EA launcher since it was open and it seemed to be saying "you should relaunch the game from here instead". So I opened the game again, and thought I'd be a bit more specific when launching a multiplayer game so I went to the Supremacy game mode and selected the join any button and just like last time it connected with no issue, opened the loading screen, and shut off straight back to the EA launcher.

I tried this several more times, different game modes, relaunching from both the Steam and EA launchers. Every time for the last two days I have been sent back to the EA launcher like nothing happened.

I could really use some help here because this is starting to piss me off.
