How To Fix Battlefront 2 beta error code 1017?


Fix 1: Your antivirus software is blocking the service

The antivirus software on the system can be the issue that could be causing the blocking of the game.

The antivirus software usually only blocks suspicious services but in rare cases, non-controversial services on the system are also blocked.

So try disabling your device Antivirus temporarily and check if this resolves the issue. If the issues do not show up once your Antivirus is disabled then re-enable the Antivirus and add Battlefront 2 under your Antivirus’s exception list.


Fix 2: The system is authorized to put the services on forced sleep to optimize the device

If you have enabled the optimized battery performance on your device, it is authorized to put apps and services on forced sleep to optimize the performance of the battery.

So if you have enabled the battery optimization or anything similar on your device then try disabling them and then check for the error again.


Fix 3: Make sure that the Windows is updated

The Windows updates are not only essential for the other basic functions of the PC but the effect also extends to the different apps that you have downloaded. So make sure that your device is running on the latest version of Windows. 

If there is a pending update for your Windows then make sure to update it and then check for the error.


Fix 4: Make sure that the video drivers on the device are updated

The game runs through the video drivers and it is very important that the video drivers are also updated to the latest version.

So if your Windows is up to date with its latest version then check if your Video Drivers are outdated. If they are then consider updating them and then check for the error again.


Fix 5: Try clearing the Cache Data

Cache on the device helps you in the short term as you do not need to enter repetitive information. However, when this is not cleared for a long time, you can be the victim of losing important memory resources to the cache data.

So next we suggest you to clear the cache data on your device, and check if this resolves the issue.


Fix 6: Verify The Integrity of Game Files

If you are done with the above suggestions but still receiving the error then you can try verifying the integrity of game files to fix any corrupt or damaged game files.


Fix 7: The DNS server is not properly configured

When you are playing multiplayer games online, it is important that the server can recognize your IP address to confirm your identity.

If the DNS settings on your device are not properly configured,  you will be facing issues on the server. So try the option of flushing the DNS or changing the DNS settings to custom.


Fix 8: The game servers Are down

Next, you can check if the game servers are down for some reason. If they are this is not something that you can solve on your end.
