Impossible To Play As Russia
Hi, i bought the game 3 days ago and i started playing it. I played against real players and against bots and i have no idea why, the game always put me in US Faction, never in the Russia one. I saw that multiple people had the same problem but it still occurs, i did everything, reinstall the game, clean the cache etc and the game always put me in US team. The only way to play Russia is through Portal but there is too much limitations, the worst 2 are that you need to wait "30 mins" (one round) to play as Russia and the second one is that you always start with 2-3 bots less than the other team. How a 60€ game can be as broken as that, it renders 1 faction completely useless since the only way to play it is in Portal but with a lot of limitations. Because yeah, in Portal to get "Moderate XP", you need to change, only the maps, gamemode and "PVP AI", if you enable the "Squad Mix" to fix the balance, the game will switch to "Restricted". The conquest "Solo/Coop" has the "Squad Mix" parameter enabled and you still get "Moderate XP" which again, is completely illogical. I don't know how i can send an email to the developpers directly, i already contacted the support that said that they will investigate but i'm not sure since that bug is still occuring since 3 or 4 months, maybe more.Idea for Matchmaking
Im playing Battlefield 2042 a while and i after the release of Battlefield6 i stayed with 2042.But im really bad at Multiplayer so im most of the time in coop,but it is not possibile to get your weapons to T1.So i would find it cool if you could level your weapons and Vehicle and Gadget in coop and first this decision would likely bring back some Players and some Players (me to) would make it happy. So please make it possibile.
Did anyone at DICE actually test Conquest matchmaking in 2025?
Weapon and specialist progression in Battlefield 2042 is fine up to Tier 3 because it can be done against bots. After that, you are forced into PvP matchmaking. The problem is that matchmaking barely works anymore. Not only Conquest, but even Breakthrough often fails to start. You wait for a long time, a few players join, then leave, and the lobby dies again. It genuinely feels like the minimum player requirement is being kept artificially high to reduce server usage in an already low-population game. Why can’t matches start with as few as two players, the same way bot matches work? People who don’t want to wait would actually get into games faster, and those who stay would at least be able to play instead of staring at a matchmaking screen. At this point, preventing people from playing the game they already own feels more damaging than any balance concern. I really hope this isn’t another case of quietly pulling the plug on a dying player base. It may already be late — but actively restricting matchmaking is not how you keep what little life this game still has.battlefield 2042 playlists
I was just wondering not sure why they don't already other than possibly competitive boosting can we get rush as an al time playlist its pretty rare that its available ppl in the portal browser only play against bots there's never really any servers hosting rush game modes.
We need new players , make game free to play for this christmas.
With many major multiplayer titles going free-to-play during the holiday season, this Christmas feels like the perfect opportunity for Battlefield 2042 to do the same. Making the game F2P—even temporarily—would bring in a huge wave of new players, help populate servers across all regions, and give the game a second life when player numbers are clearly struggling. The core gameplay has improved a lot since launch, and a free-to-play period would allow new players to experience that firsthand, rebuild the community, and potentially convert them into long-term players through cosmetics and future content. The peak player count goes to 2500-3000 only , which is a shame for a game franchise like battlefield , please make it free to play for this christmas , so it can boost player count.
Will Future 2042 be able to reduce its game size?
Both Hell Divers 2 and The Crew 2 have managed to shrink their game size by more than half, while Battlefield 2042 is even larger than two BF6 combined.And after separating from Warzone, the size of COD has also shrunk significantly. I think it's appropriate to compress the game size moderately, as there will be more and more game updates in the future for bf6. Using 2042 as a test case for compression is an excellent choice.🧐m encountering some technical issues

Re: Is it me or anyone else constantly in defensive side in Break Through Mode?
Same here, It's so annoying, while matchmaking they should let us change faction, even if just 1 time, not that the game needs that, but, like you, i'm always in defense side, and in objectives like destroy COMS we can only do it as attacker. P.S. i just got 10 times in a row in defense, how stupid is this? i keep leaving the game at start because i don't wanna play defense.
Breakthrough Server
At some point Dice is going to need to allow for portal full xp experiences or stop creating more breakthrough servers when the exisiting aren't full to begin with. I am so sick of having a solid server, finish a match hoping to rollover to the next only to sit and wait to fill another server. exit out of that and resart matchmaking and boom! im where i was to begin with. Conquest is trash, most other game modes are trash. Breakthrough is the only true objective match that minimizes the nonsense of the game. please for the love of god just fix the matchmaking for breakthrough, allow more full xp portal servers or idk bring back War Machine so at least we can play vs bots for full xp and have a purpose to play the game. theres no reason to play the game if there arent small goals like weapon tiers or ranks if youve already unlocked everything. for the record, im not paying full price for bf6. i bought bf2042 for nearly full price only for it to be like 7 dollars on a steam sale a month later and it took years for bf2042 to fix half the bugs. ill wait on bf6
empty EU servers and 1 minute countdown
empty EU servers bad map cycle 1 minute countdown is wasy too long to start a match, as if a lobby has gained enough playes during this minute half of the lobby leave .. still no map filter for official match maker no 64 and 128 match maker seperation still reported cheater still run around, just the very blatant aimbotter are banned with an email notificationPunch of scammers
Today i thought that i'm going to give a try and play BF2042. So i bought the game, made EA account and started playing. Did tutorial part and were able to play ONLY one Conquest with bots and i was banned. I really though that this new anti cheat team is doing some good here but apparently not. Total of 1h and 8mins of play that i actually really enjoyed. Shame on you EAoptic bloom, visual recoil
has anyone else ever experienced battlefield 2042 with the visual optic bloom where the optic shows you where the bullets are going or something like where the bullets fly alot more straight than what they do today ive only ever seen it once seems as though its something they can activate or deactivate to see how the game plays with more accuracy.
Battlefield 2042 huge input lag/stutter? server issue or game issue?
I played this game back in 2024 and at that time there was no issue like this, so I downloaded this game yesterday and tried to play it but its unplayable. even though FPS is good but there's a heavy input lag/Stutter in game. I'm in Sri Lanka, is it a server problem or client side? I'm using a fiber connection as my internet (I getting stable 300mbps). My pc spec - i7 7700K, 16GB 3000mhz, MSI GTX 1080 8GB, Monitor 3440 x 1440 resolution, and yes there's a huge bottleneck in my configuration but I managed to play this game in low setting. back in 2024 I played in i5 7500 and there was no issue at all. What should I do now? I'm hoping for a fix, Thanks! ❤️
Proximity voice chat
This is a necessity! I'm sorry, if I'm supposed to be on a team with someone, I need to be able to communicate with them. For all those scared about toxicity, there should be a way to turn it off. There problem solved...and for those of us that ACTUALLY want to have teamwork, we could do so. There should be NO reason in 2025 that we don't have this. If CRAPPY Call of Duty Warzone has this, then this should be a no brainer, for a game that touts objectives and teamwork.
