The message: There was an error reading from the server.

I get the above message when I try to login to PR. After entering profile and PW, the Welcome to Pr screen comes up for a few moments. Then a screen pops up with the above message...

I was running the game fine earlier today. I did have it clock for an abnormaly long time at the welcome screen at one point but it went through ok.

I have the most recent updates and only have another issue I've been trying to resolve with VOIP. It will work during one round, but when maps change or I switch servers it stops working. I adjusted my dxdiag audio acceleration to make it work this far, still trying to fix that. There shouldn't be a correlation with these problems.

Any thoughts?

It also happened to me 3 times, in these last days:
- while logging in: it gives me that error, or the screen remains in "Welcome to PR" i can move the cursor but cant do anything, i can't even alt+tab to desktop and kill the bf2 process...
- during a normal game: after some (voip)lag i just get LOGGED OFF pr, with "error reading from server"

The next time i try to login it works perfectly, but its still annoying

You're not alone.

Happend to me some seconds ago but that was ok the map finish at the same time

Me 2, 10minuts ago (was on HeroesFR)

Same here.

One suspects the cleaning lady (or man) at EA has unplugged the master server in order to vacuum the office. Normal service should be resumed in the fullness of time.

Can someone call to EA user support and ask wtf is going on with Authorization Servers?

I'd rather say some EA guys spelt some beer on the wire.

And yes,same with me.
Only 6 players on Tactical Gamer and a little bit more than one hundred at all playing PR.It's obvious something's wrong here.
And the overall number playing vBF2 is also significantly lower than usually at this time

this what i found on EA - Battlefield 2 :

Yep, message has changed. Maybe they're working on it.

Can't login anymore, get it all the time.

Getting the same error message

Yeah, I have been having this problem off and on for the past week or two, sometimes it happens right after I disconnect from a server, or in the middle of a game, or at random. Because this has been going on for a while, is it still likely to be EA server problems, or is it something bigger possibly?

It seems that now they're working on it:
