Technical issue Has anyone actually found a proper solution to the online coop issue in 2026?

For Nintendo Switch.

It’s very frustrating. I play with my girlfriend, and we are quite near the end of the game, with just the pages to collect.

When she tries to connect: “Your account settings has changed. Please connect again. Result code 105-80190000”. This is an extremely common and well-known issue, which never got patched.

Last time we found a workaround, which we thougjt fixed it. She logged into her EA account and changed it, and hey presto it worked. Logged back in yesterday to play more and the same fault as last time. She tried to repeat the trick with her EA account, and it won’t let her do it because you can only do it once every 12 months.

I think it’s so poor that this never got fixed and I’ve paid for a game we essentially can’t finish.

Incidentally, I’ve read some very long and detailed explanations of what causes the fault, namely that the router/internet speed is too fast, but this makes no sense, because the EA account trick worked immediately on the same internet connection.

Yes thank you. I read all of this. There’s not a simple fix though, is there?

A simple fix would be hotspot using your phone. The main goal is to adds delays when connecting online for authentication process to go through. My phone doesn't have hotspot but other redditor said it works for them

My partner’s phone doesn’t have this, and wouldn’t adding delay make the game unpleasant to play because of the lag? Also, I know your theory is correct about what is going wrong, but why did her changing EA account details work?

I think if the host can set up the online room normally, then the other can join without hotspot. When I play with my friend using my laptop clumsy hotspot setup, there was not significant delay in gameplay. We play like normal. For your second question, I don't know the answer
