Here's some news on the issue, if it isn't one thing it's something else eh?

GameSpy Unplanned Presence Interruption ~8:00am PDT

Well... now i can't login at all, and battlefield site is down too (http://www.battlefield.ea.com/ and all subpages.). I checked battlefield forums, and people are complaining about the same thing: http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/1990218.page

I wonder are they solving the problem, or did the whole thing crash

People still getting disconnects, or is all good now?

Here is the latest. Have not been on myself yet today, but if someone could let us know if they manage to play a round or two of First Strike without the disconnect problems that have plagued us over the weekend that would be appreciated.

So last night we made some changes that I was confident would resolve the disconnect issue; I didn't post anything when we initially made the change because I wanted to be sure. It appears to have been successful, however I'll continue to investigate today to ensure everything is running how it should be since some people are still reporting problems that have been resolved for the large majority of the population.

I know. Is this a joke or what?

This has to be a Mickey take?!

This is from an official source...

@TheDreadedGMan
Can you unblock subnets of IP addresses?
If so, unblock 69.10.24.0/24 and 69.10.30.0/24

Also for everyone else this is most likely the issue. Dedicated servers need to have IP setup so they can properly access them. The data center move changed all the IP addresses so none of them are the same as before.
Update: Here's a potential list.
69.10.24.122
69.10.24.132
69.10.24.133
69.10.24.134
69.10.30.235
69.10.30.241
69.10.30.242
69.10.30.247
69.10.30.248

The problem has been isolated down to a slight issue in one of the GameSpy systems. I'm sorry this has taken such a long time to isolate, but we're focused on the issue and are trying to resolve it has fast as possible.

Yes, that's the exact issue that were currently working on fixing. I'll be sure to update this thread and my other BF2142 thread when we're sure the issue has been resolved.

Here's the thread on the official BF2 forum for some lulz:

Title is a bit misleading. Who gives a darn about unlocks when you can't even play 1 round without disconnects
