Re: Portal server not listed under "browse servers"

I searched on the exact name of my server using both the 'Server Name' and 'Experience Name' options, and nothing came up. I have no idea how to find my so-called "Persistent Server" after I have left it, especially if it is empty. Does this feature actually work? From what I can tell, it does not work for me.

Ok so apparently my server is persisting but the server browser won't show it unless I search for it.... Which is wack. 

Hi, so I did some testing. The server will be listed only if you search for it. If you create an experience and only you join the server, it will not be visible to other players. You have to get a friend to join your created experience and only then will it be listed and visible to other players. Which defeats the purpose of hosting a portal experience. 

Basically, two different people need to be on the server for it to be visible. I am currently emailing back and forth with EA regarding this issue, and I * you not they basically told me to come here to EA answers and look for a solution myself. 

Here is my created post on the issue. Portal server not listed under "browse servers" - Answer HQ (ea.com)

Hey everyone @Kuiriel @F5-RavenRM @BoD_GodlessGOD @samboleary @direct3r  What platform and region are you in? 

Merged several threads together. 

/Atic 

@EA_AticPC, Oceanic (Australia). No freezing or crashing today, only a little stuttering at one point. It was good to play together with friends and none of us crashed out.

The different modes did populate with other people today (we have cross play enabled) so it seems like our problem here is just underpopulation. Can't start the 64v64 player servers easily without very long waits.

I miss the full fledged server browser.

However, it is good that you can now join on friends in a full squad, even if you can't 'stay together' after a round without needing to join on them after they join the next server, again. Really hope they can work on this - one of the biggest things Battlefield had over other games was allowing lots of friends to play together, instead of being reduced to groups of 4. It meant communities, clans, all of us in game nights, etc.

Hey everyone, 

After you are hosting the server, can you look in the server browser and filter with the name only. Can you take a screenshot of what you are seeing. 

/Atic 

@EA_AticI tried a bit and I got what's the problem...
the search option "Free Slots:" is really buggy...
I switched it to "any" and there my server showed up, I switched it to 1-5 it's not, next 6-10 not, 11+ it shows up again( wtf?...) and via the default option "For party" (without beeing in a party) it only shows up if I have choosen any of the options before, but if I go normally into the search tab and this is selected the server won't show up

Hi, @EA_Atic I am in South Africa and platform is PC. Thanks for merging all these threads.

@EA_Atic

What was intended? Are empty persistent servers supposed to appear on server browser (without having to manually search for them - otherwise that would defy the whole purpose)? 

Shared the feedback above to the team and the team is looking at it. @samboleary,

I cant promise any changes but we are aware of the feedback.

i can see many empty servers in the main browser  except for my server!!! Not there!! Only in search i can find it

Hello I also have the same problem, I hosted a persistent server after I bought the premium battlepass, everyone of us(me and my friends) can’t find our server unless we search the key words of our portal namw which is : 

Classic Conquest 64 VA 64 SEA SERVER

Please help

also just to let you guys know a lot of persistent servers can only be seen by searching the title key words but if you scroll in the browse server menu you wont find them
