DICE, please add a server browser. I cannot find matches in my region(India). I am just stuck on the waiting for players screen and the match never starts or there are only 20-30 players in a match. Please keep in mind this is the case even when crossplay is on. I want to play on EU servers but can’t do it unless a server browser is implemented. Please consider this request as you are already implementing some missing features from previous battlefield’s according to today’s details. Unless a server browser is implemented I cannot play BF2042.

@RayD_O1 Server Browser/Persistent Servers always will be top of my list.Plus lets have us rent our own servers, have more than 4 friends join us, even have a community group of players test the game before any updates and give feedback to fix problems before it goes to the masses. Map rotation, squad, team voip that works, commanders to direct squad leaders, working as a squad, team, lots of good things but of course it all comes back to server browser first.

@DigitalHype We have to keep trying, we have to keep talking about it, maybe one day they will understand.

@DeepSixxxxGreat post/ idea sign me up for the pilot scheme.👍

portal without touching the modifiers and the rules or AI is now full progression so we kinda got server browser now

We need a proper Server Browser / Persistent Server System for the good of our sanity.I find the current system of not having a Server Browser / Persistent servers in AOW to be totally frustrating. I personally am fed up with all this hanging around in menu's to be put in a map of MM's choice, especially when many times you join at the end of a round.Then you have the luxury of being dumped back to the menu after every single round to start on the merry go round all over again.I was put in Kaleidoscope 4 or 5 times during yesterday because MM decided I needed to play it over and over.I want to be able to join a server of my choice and stay on that server and play through the complete map rotation like I was able to in previous BF'sWhat happened to player choice ?, who thought it would be a good idea to force players to play the game the way MM decides.Also the fact that many players in different regions are reporting daily that they cannot even get into a match at all should be reason enough for DICE to sit up and take notice of where BF2042 is heading. Think how much easier life would be for Clans / Squads / Parties to play together if we had a decent Server Browser / Persistent Server system. ! We all paid for this game, please let us play it the way we choose and add a Server Browser / Persistent Server system in AOW.

By now I must say, a server browser is not what we need anymore. I would have agreed with you some time ago but as of TODAY, this requirement could safely be deleted.
Why? Because a server browser ONLY makes sense if there is more than one active server that you could join at any one time. Strangely, this still is true for BF4 but for BF2042, this might not even be the case.

What is STILL required are at least is that this one last remaining server (or the 2 or 3) per region should be a persistent instances and should provide players with a proper map rotation.

This Matchmaking BS is gonna be the downfall of this franchise.
Persistent servers and community-run servers along with a proper server browser needs to return.
it's part of the core Battlefield formula that made this franchise what it is.
They can add all the silly skins and broken score-boards they want but this game aint gonna turn around until they fix these some of these core problems
100% correct, and MM has made BF2042 a laughing stock in comparison.

@RayD_O1 They better fix this fast. From what I hear and see WW3 looks very good and it’s what BF should have been and it’s free this coming month.

That's why I fully backed your proposal and have said many times on different threads that they should implement it asap.
Then they should follow it up with the full blown Server Browser / Persistent Servers once the player base is in place to support it.
The problem is many players / clans won't come near BF2042 because it hasn't got a Server Browser.
So DICE need to attract those players back with the promise of a server browser to come further down the line, but in the meantime they should definitely go ahead and implement your proposal as it would definitely improve things : persistent instances and should provide players with a proper map
Very importantly DICE need to spell out their plans for the future of BF2042 asap, rather than maintaining total silence on this very important subject.

It certainly won't help the situation that's for sure.

@DuaneDibbley Indeed. Their total silence on the server browser topic deafening.

As others have said, their refusal to comment on it is very telling.

It is totally unacceptable that DICE is not responding to this thread or giving any feedback as to when they are going to sort out this ongoing MM problem.

DICE could you please implement the @DuaneDibbley proposal asap as it is something you should be able to do relatively easily and would help a lot of players.
Re: Concrete and simple to implement proposal that would improve BF2042 TODAY - Answer HQ
Could you please also make sure that you take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that all the players who currently are unable to join matches get sorted.
Then asap can you implement the full blown Server Browser / Persistent servers we were used to in previous battlefields

Adding a Server Browser is an easy fix to get some dedicated players back into the fold without any other fixes.

@RayD_O1 what is totally wild to me is that EA/DICE has made this situation even worse by not being responsive to the loyal customers that come on here to post ideas.

If they just came on here regularly, posted honestly, even if it is something we don't want to hear would be better than silence. That is disrespectful.

I get that there is a lot of outlandish and unprofessional posts but at the same time there are people on here that want to see this game and franchise succeed. Very frustrating.
