Endless Matchmaking - Waiting For Players
Hi, It started approximately 2 weeks ago, I click play on Breakthrough (128 players) and I could not find a game at all, I do get a game or two in Conquest (128 players) after long hours of queue. I ...

It's not just the Asian region that's affected.
I am on the US West Coast and it's been having player retention issues for a while now.
I have to wait several minutes on the "Waiting for more players to join" screen just to end up in a match with mostly bots and a handful of players. I am talking about the two, main game modes. Portal's already dead at this point in my region. This thing's going to be completely dead very soon due to the fact that it has an awful matchmaking/lobby system instead of a proper server browser.

Well when i look at BF2042 numbers just from Steamcharts i can see that BF2042 is as if not more popular than BFV in peak time hours for EST at least here between 18:00 and 00:00 There is more BF2042 players than BFV players .. thats said i find game in about 10 seconds full servers ..
But there is still crashing issues where 20+ players crashes at the same time and are replaced by bots mid match and then re replaced by real players whithin 2 to 3 minutes- @Stew360 Good for you! You're clearly very special.
I don't need to see the drastically declining Steam player numbers to realize that this game has serious player retention issues. I have had the game since release. It's getting worse with each passing week.
Crashes? In this gem? Get out of here! Just another reason why this game continues to lose players. Because it's an unstable, technical piece of crap on top of being severely flawed when it comes to its overall execution. The game is dying and they are doing nothing.
A Server Browser is so simple!
DICE, EA, PLEASE!
Man, months of multiple threads with people begging for the return of a basic feature for the BF series (and many shooters) in the year of our lord 2022.
What a time to be alive, indeed, DICE.
I've had this too, but I thought the whole idea of AI soldiers was to prevent there ever being an empty game? So why aren't they being loaded in?
I've tried to play lately but given up. I've got better things to do than stare at a waiting screen.
- @ABC-Warrior-real I agree. I don’t care if I play with majority bots. I know some will argue it’s easy way to get progressions with guns and stuff but there just skins I personally don’t care about skins. They don’t help kill better or make you a better player. So just let us play.

Yeah I totally agree with you. The game is dying and as you say it's not being helped by the awful matchmaking / lobby system instead of a proper server browser / server system.
I have just posted this thread regarding my thoughts on MM : DICE add a Server Browser / Persistent Servers to AOW - Answer HQ
- @RayD_O1 Same thing today after the update. But the player count is higher since everyone want to try out the new updates so I hope. I am get on earlier. I know they added to the wait screen how many players it’s waiting for. Does not help our situation. But lied to by dice or EA about playing with ai untill players arrive.
- @Sc0tch_Whiskey Pretty much same thing today. Now you can sit there and see how many players you are waiting for lol
- @RayD_O1 I’m able to get into a match at This time. Not sure if it’s because if high player count or they fixed MM. but we will see.

We still need to push for MM to be replaced so we can get map rotation and not get dumped to the lobby after every round etc.....
