Battlefield 1 open beta: Servers back online after 10+ hour DDoS attack

2 Sep 2016

The Battlefield 1 open beta experienced at least a ten hour downtime in its first full day yesterday after hackers launched a DDoS attack at its servers.

EA Support says problems occurred between 4.30 am AEST on 1 September and lasted until 1.30 pm AEST, but players are saying they experienced upwards of 15 hours of downtime.

Available on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4, the open beta’s also caught flak for a nasty progression bug.

You can try out the open beta from 1-9 September. We’ve already shown off gameplay from Rush and Conquest on the Sinai Desert map. Moreover, here’s all you need to know about the beta.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
