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.

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 has to be changed ASAP. Not only because it's no fun to be an easy target for m&b players at a distance, but I'm pretty sure that crossplay with PC is the cause of some bugs while playing (yesterday was very nice with only console players, today with PC players I already had multiple crash on XsX. I wonder if the problem is not the chat box...).
We shouldn 't be forced to turn off completely crossplay on a system level. Nobody is going to do that, because they have other crossplay games that work well and mostly because the option is hidden quite deep in the xbox setup, and that's why you cant find an xbox only server with enough people to start a match.
The on/off toggle was perfectly working during the beta and I don't see any reason why it's different for the final realease !
