Run the game as an administrator (PC)

PC players can go to the game shortcut and click "Run as administrator." This provides the game with the necessary permissions and may solve strange connection problems.


Flush your DNS cache

Your network may be retaining stale information. To flush it:

  • Open Command Prompt (admin)
  • Type: ipconfig /flushdns
  • Press Enter and reboot your system

This flushes your DNS and sometimes resolves connection glitches, potentially fixing the error code 770 issue.

Change to static IP address (Windows)

A stable IP address will prevent conflicts with your network:

  • Open Settings → Network & Internet
  • Click Wi-Fi, then your active connection.
  • In IP settings, press Edit, choose Manual, and enable IPv4.
  • Enter a static IP and DNS (such as Google's 8.8.8.8). This maintains a stable connection.

Repair or reinstall the game

If something is broken in the installation, the multiplayer won't work properly. Try the repair option on Origin or Steam, or redownload the game if needed.

Update your network drivers

Old drivers can quietly create all sorts of problems. Visit your device manufacturer's website and get the most up-to-date version for your network adapter.


Set up port forwarding on your router

This is a bit more advanced, but it can help with connectivity:

  • Open your router settings in a browser (typically 192.168.1.1)
  • Find Port Forwarding.
  • Insert your PC or console's IP and the TCP/UDP ports.
  • Save your changes and reboot the router. This effectively instructs your network to send game traffic precisely where it needs to go.

Potential causes of Star Wars: Battlefront 2 error code 770

Understanding what’s behind error code 770 in Star Wars: Battlefront 2 can help narrow down the most effective solution.

  • Server-side issues: EA servers could be congested, particularly with all the recent player activity. This can cause spontaneous disconnections or outright connection blocks.
  • Network setup issues: Things such as hard NAT types, faulty DNS settings, or recurring IP address changes can disrupt your access to game servers.
  • Corrupt or missing game files: A failed download or update could result in the multiplayer not functioning properly, triggering error code 770.
  • Software interference: Background programs — like firewalls, VPNs, or even antivirus software — can close connections without your permission. It's best to turn them off temporarily and test.
  • EA account troubles: Occasionally, something on your account (such as a ban or a syncing error) could prevent multiplayer access.
