EA may retire online features after 30 days notice on EA.com, which includes authentication servers. Once it's been disconnected, it doesn't make any attempt to reconnect. That means even a momentary interruption to your connection kills your session completely: everything you do from then on is not saved. The only way to avoid losing progress is to save your game the moment you get the disconnected message, quit out, then start it again. Otherwise, you won't be connected to EA's servers even if you're connected to the internet, and finishing any mission will erase all your progress. Announcement On July 8, 2009, a tweet from EA UK's public relations team was posted with a link to a press release which officially announced the game. However, the link provided leads to a list of press releases, which the one mentioned is not included on as of now.
