Re: Persistent Servers in BF 2042, where are they?

@AdamonicOn PS5, you can see custom servers with no players in them.
I can also see my own persistent server.

Thanks, must be a bug. No matter what I do, I can never see any servers with 0 players.

    @Adamonic 

    I believe the portal browser interface is limiting the total number of server's listed to a relatively small number when it refreshes, and it seems to deprioritize the servers with zero players.

    If I switch the region filter to one that has low population right now (e.g. Oceania, South America, Asia) then I see a bunch of servers with 0 players. If I select Europe or North America or Any I see no servers with 0, unless I specifically filter by another category which reduces the total (e.g. name).

    So, it seems like "Any" is really a lie and it's probably only showing a subset of ones that have a better ping and those are all populated right now, or it's removing the ones with 0 players when the list output is too large.

    @Adamonic Day late but I spent some time looking for your server, no luck. I do see custom servers with zero players. I see pings from 159 to 27 so I think that's multiple regions. Again silly but did you try turning persistent server off then on? I think if you made the server first, then turned persistent on, it won't work. You need to make the experience when your game already has it to on. Did you do that? I'm just throwing darts here bud.

    @ATFGunr yeah, tried that. Tried every combination of the filter toggles suspecting one may be incorrectly labeled.

    So it seems that very few servers with 0 players will just show up in any of the normal tables. However, you can search for that server, but for me, finding it, especially one I created is pretty rare. So after creating a server with known filter options, literally recreating the same server with a different name (then searching for that specific word), I only found my server 2 times in 10 tries.

    I just don't understand why all the servers are not listed. They may be persistent, but most are invisible. Thanks to everyone who assisted.
