Summarize your bug Go into your Soldier's "General / Options - Other" section, where you can select to opt in or out of CrossPlay by choosing OFF or ON. Here it appears as being ON by default. But when going to the toggle switch, the option is actually disabled to be toggled as you want. So it is not possible to choose to select OFF for CrossPlay. It is forced ON permanently.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Follow the steps as described above, on how to get to that plave in the menu where you change your preference for CrossPlay ON/OFF: Go into your Soldier's "General / Options - Other" section, where you can select to opt in or out of CrossPlay by choosing OFF or ON. Here it appears as being ON by default. But when going to the toggle switch, the option is actually disabled to be toggled as you want. So it is not possible to choose to select OFF for CrossPlay. It is forced ON permanently.
What happens when the bug occurs? You do not have the option to put CrossPlay to OFF as we wanted it to be. We are forced to be in CrossPlay by default, no matter if we want to or not.
What should be happening instead? We should have the toogle switch working instead, so we can set our preference to CrossPlay = OFF.
Screenshot of the disabled CrossPlay toggle switch in your Soldier's "General / Options - Other" section:
And yes, we are aware of the pre-requisite conditions for this toggle function to be available. But despite adhering to all the conditions, then the option to set CrossPlay to OFF is still not possible...
Thank you to get this bug fixed ASAP. 🙏
This is how you turn off crossplay on xbox.
Why should any gamer have to do that, as I did and you can not find a game. This is just anit consomer
This doesn't work the way you think yes you will only play Xbox live players but only if they have also turned of cross play this way removing you from play with other Xbox players with it turn on so the pool is to small to get a match crossplay wasn't locked on in the beta I turned it off and I never had a hard time getting a match either this is a early access problem or EA is going to screw Xbox players like Activision did in COD forced crossplay or be punished for not wanting to play with PC thanks EA Dice earning the hate AGAIN
- @dumhick72288 Agree 100%. Not happy about this. So not cool. I hated COD for making us play with PC.
- @JohnnyBBad At least COD has 120 FPS and m&k support. 2042 has neither but forced xplay.
- @dumhick72288 Especially frustrating as Xbox is their console partner for BF2042!
My partner and I cannot play BF like this. It's not fun at all when you don't stand a chance in a firefight. We played BF3 and BF4 to death but untill this is fixed we are going back to other games. I hope this is only an early access issue.
This actually worked just fine for me, which means lots of Xbox player are doing this. There are fewer portal games for Xbox, but I am playing the new mode right now.
They will fix it...and more players will come online on the 19th and after Christmas as people get the game or Xbox cards etc.
So the problem with this is that most people don’t know where to find the settings buried deep in the console privacy settings.
because if this, most people aren’t opting out of cross play and for those of us that do opt out can’t find a server. We end up in endless lobbies waiting for games that never start.
furthermore I heard that PS players do have the option to turn off crossplay right from the game settings menu. Why would they do that to us Xbox players? I’m so upset.
Yes, but that's a joke...
Xbox is the console partner for BF2042, so, why is there no game-builtin feature to enable or disable it for Xbox??
With the current approach and way to disable cross-play on Xbox, many will not do it, which ends in an unhealthy small player base for those who disabled it. So, matchmaking is broken, you have to wait too long etc. So we Xbox users have again the same experience as with Activision CoD, just that Playstation is the CoD console partner...
So, I except 'more love' from EA, Dice, etc. with regards to their console partner!!!
