Servers Available and Match Populations

Not sure how to pose this question so I'll just describe what is happening.  I play (attempt to play) BF2042 I can rarely get into ANY match.  I play from Saudi Arabia and go to the portal and look for servers for matches (I check the filters by region to ensure it says ALL and not a specific region).  That list comes back and shows only a handful of matches and out of that list only really 1 or two would be running with enough people to play a match (conquest OR Rush OR anything).  But those are far from a full match; it would be more like a 10 v 10 match.  If I add up the total players from the entire list my sums come up to around 50 total players (world wide) from what I can see on my list.  The this reason I have not been able to play in a few weeks now.

    Hey @Sithlordinga,

    I understand from what you're saying is that you don't see many populated Portal servers that are created by the community. However, if you view the servers via the Portal Server Browser, you can only see the custom created servers that are made by the community members in your area.

    Can you also not get into any matches while playing the official Multiplayer AoW matches or Portal Featured?
  • Sir,

    Correct. Even when I start AoW it puts me in the que while it attempts to populate a squad.  MOST of the time it just sits there while people come and go. I can only assume that its not getting enough and then just times out and sends me back to the start menu again.  To be clear I most attempt CONQUEST game modes but yeah I haven't been able to play in a couple of weeks.

    @Sithlordinga, alright. And are you playing with Cross-play turned on or off? Or does it not matter?

    @Sithlordinga, alright, and do you experience this every time of the day, or only during a specific time frame?
