Due to the corona crisis, many players are stuck at home and are naturally looking for online distraction from games. But the biggest crowd pullers of Electronic Arts are currently not available. EA's servers were once again victims of a DDos attack. This affects the servers of FIFA 20, Apex Legends, Battlefield 5, NHL 20 and Madden NFL 20.
The publisher commented on the current problems via Twitter and advised that players should contact EA Help if problems arise. EA said it was working to fix the problems.
In the so-called “distributed denial of service” attacks, servers are bombarded with requests so that they are overloaded. As a result, games and games like FIFA 20 and Apex Legends experience connection and login issues.
We're currently looking into the issues affecting our services. If you can't play online, access Origin or EA Help, we're on it.
