@kregora I live in the UK on EU servers, trust me, find none crossplat lobbies on other cross play games is no issue, its only 2042 that this happens on.

The games I have both tested Cross play on and off are obvs 2042 and then tried the same test on MW2019, COD Cold War, Chivalry 2, Halo Infinite, and all those games there was a good amount of people on, 2042 is a dead game with virtually no players for what this game could of done. Its a shame that a game series I have played since 2002 (BF1942) is now dead and thrown in the gutter by EA.

@Cemtexx And the reason is, that the BF2042 kinda forces the settings to "Crossplay On".
But this change isn't obvious. And since it isn't obvious most people don't turn it off again.

So after a time, most player have crossplay enabled.
What you need to understand is, that crossplay player only play with other crossplay players.
So a XBox player with crossplay active will never join a XBox only game.

I don't say this is the smartest way to do it, it just is, as it is.
