    @XxRED8xX- I am also Australia region on XB1. I have no problems getting games in GA or HvsV but cannot in any other mode on the Aus Ping site. When I want to play the smaller modes I change my ping to US Virginia and have no problems getting a game. I get the message re "slow internet connection......." but have only had minimal lag on very few occasions. If Virginia doesn't work for you, try US Oregon.

  • Changing to Virginia doesn't work for me. 

    2 more updates since this thread last posted on and this issue is still not working. 

    Seriously! WHY IS THIS NOT BEING ADDRESSED????????????

    OK so I have tried the following

    Deleted settings

    Reinstalled game

    Changed to another ISP

    Tried ADSL and NBN

    Tried opening ports

    Changed servers

    Still only get access to GA and HvsV. 

    It's got to be a server issue.

    Fibre 100mbps.
    Low ping.

    Origin - PC

    I specifically did not buy this because SWBF I dropped the ball after several months with no one to play with.

    I decided this month to Origin Premier and try a few games... 

    SWBF II is quite fun. When I can actually get into a lobby with people. At this rate, glad I didn't buy it and don't plan too...

    Can't you add details of how many people are in each mode?

    Regardless of the time of day, any day, any match... like trying to find black cat in a black room that isn't actually there.

    No point joining a mode and going afk for 30minutes to find that... still no one but you, and possibly another keen person or two are there waiting patiently...

    Come on lads, fix this. May the Empire strike back!

    Still an issue.
    Whenever I try to play, I spend 15 mins trying to join a game... empty lobby, try different game mode, empty lobby, change ping site, empty lobby
    server browser option is what we need so at least if there is a full server we can queue for it!

    Hey @gfunk_zero 

    Some modes are slow right now but change depending on the time.  Your side of the world will have more activity during your evening. European pings will be better during your early mornings. Virginia is generally busy your mornings.   Might be slow to go so far away..

    Some modes like Her Starfighters is always hard to find players to fill the lobby. But it happens, so I always check. Sometimes Capital Assault is busy and GA is slow.

    A really good technique is to make a bunch of friends by sending requests. You will be able to see where and when they are playing. You can then join their game and  not be in a lobby.

    What most do is give that lobby 3-5 mins to fill. Waiting on other games to complete and matchmake will send players to open lobbies. If nothing fills, quit and relaunch the mode and see if the AI will put you in another lobby. 

    GLHF.

    @Major-Band1tthanks for the suggestions but these aren't really long term solutions, Imagine a new player buys the game they are going to run into the same issue, uninstall and get a refund

    I am a new player, I just got the game yesterday and all the lobbies are dead. I'm playing on an Xbox and as soon as I join a multiplayer lobby it takes literally around 15-20 mins. Then I just leave and join another lobby but the same thing happens again. I really don't want to get a refund as I had high expectations and I know it's really good. How do you fix that problem, I really want to play?
