Re: Stuck in 'waiting for players to join' loop

@R00zilla I've been playing solo no problem and wanted to join a multiplayer match just now and get same issue as @BoxerWalt. Will try turning on cross-play but does cross-play mean playing against PC players?

  • I think people need to post their location and platform when reporting issues. I'm UK, PS5 with crossplay off and it works fine for me but I've seen many posts regarding issues outside EU.

    @Barremel Yes. If you turn cross play on you will play against PC players and console players.
  • Turning cross play off or on isnt the issue for most people Im in Australia and both myself and the guys I game with have had crossplay on since the start but none of us can join 64 player servers. The sad thing is but not at all surprising is that no matter how many people post about this issue not once have I seen a potential fix or work around from EA/Dice. No acknowledgement of the issue, NOTHING, radio silence. Why because they dont care just like the issues with all their titles since BC2 they have sold the number of games needed for their profit margins so they dont really care if you play it or not, and they know it doesnt seem to matter how bad their games are everyone still rushes out and buys them so what incentive do they have to spend more money on it making it right, that would just cut into their profit margins.   

  • I’m guessing they don’t care also. Can’t even get into a game conquest or breakthrough. This game and company are * now. They used to be good. This is the worst game I ever paid for

  • I’m in Miami. If looking to buy this game then don’t. It absolutely sucks

  • @TurboKWFD19 I am central US and didn't have any issues finding a game of breakthrough tonight. Ever lobby was full. Cross play on.

    @CantGetRight Cross play off have not been able to play since Dec 3rd. Cross play on can get on some servers not 128 players but not playable, very buggy and watch players teleport around me, freeze up, bullets not hitting targets. I am on PC and in Northern Canada, but i usually play between 8-10 pm MTN time.

    We are currently pushing for MM to be replaced on several threads like the ones in these links :

    DICE help all players who cannot play / enjoy BF2042 due to MM - Answer HQ (ea.com)

    DICE add a Server Browser / Persistent Servers to AOW - Answer HQ

    Please feel free to add your support to these threads and hopefully DICE will listen to all our repeated requests to get rid of MM.

    It's a shame you are still having these problems and I know you personally have been highlighting this on the various threads asking for a proper Server Browser / Persistent Servers

    We can only hope DICE take action asap to resolve this for all you guys experiencing these ongoing issues in your regions.

     

    We will keep raising the issue on a daily basis and I would urge all players experiencing these problems to add your weight to the threads in my post above. :

    Hopefully if we keep pushing hard enough and SHOUTING LOUD enough DICE will eventually listen and give us the Server Browser system BF2042 so badly needs, so ALL you guys can play the game you paid for.!!

    And remember keep posting your issues regularly so we can keep all these threads alive, thanks. 

  • What’s the solution then? I’ve been stuck in lobbies alone for almost a week. Everytime I go for a match i find myself the host waiting for 15

    more players to join and that’s just it. I’ve been looking everywhere online for a fix but nobody seems to have one

    I think the only permanent solution is for DICE to add a Server Browser / Persistent Servers to replace MM.
