I can fully understand your frustration, spending hours waiting for players and getting dumped back to the lobby gets old very quickly.
It's no wonder players are abandoning BF2042.

Waiting once again. Earlier got to play about ten minutes of conquest but that’s it. Just sitting and waiting.

So annoying for you, but you are doing the right thing highlighting it each and every day until something is done about it.
DICE need to know that there are players who simply can't play due to MM. !!

Here is something I noticed. I’m in California. At 1:20 am I got on and played a few matches. I waited maybe 30 seconds or so before I got put into a match several times. According to steam there was about 1,806 players. Just the only numbers I know of. I will go out and say majority of the west coast is asleep so I’m guessing only that this is a world wide number of players. This was breakthrough 32vs32. The matches was about 24 each side give or take from what I saw. Now my point is when I usually get on to play it’s about 5:30 am or later and I cannot for the life of me get into any match for any AOW matches and at that time there are more players according to steam. Doesn’t make sense to me.
- RayD_O14 years agoHero@Sc0tch_Whiskey Yeah strange indeed although I am glad to see you at least managed to get a game at all. 🙂
Hopefully you are able figure out a regular peak time slot that works for you and your area. - Sc0tch_Whiskey4 years agoSeasoned Ace
At that time I’m usually not able to play just had some time to get a few in. Now it’s 5:38 am with 2,750 players and I cannot find a match at all.

Yup same here, I'm on the west coast too (Washington state) can't get into a match even with crossplay on.
Really NEED persistent servers and server browser.

That's not good mate, I didn't realise you were also unable to get into match's, although I always knew like myself you are a hater of MM !.
DICE really do need to get their act together there are too many of you guys who can't even get to play the game you paid for. !
- Sc0tch_Whiskey4 years agoSeasoned Ace@RayD_O1 It’s not just us. When I am Waiting I’ll ask others if they experienced the same and they all said yes and when we get kicked back to main screen and we load back we all end up together

It speaks volumes and clearly shows how wrong DICE were to totally change the BF concept, the player base has just evaporated.
The fact that they decided to force us to use Matchmaking instead of the a proper server browser / persistent server system is just the final nail in the coffin.
If you guys had a proper server browser it would definitely help a bit wouldn't it. ?
- Sc0tch_Whiskey4 years agoSeasoned Ace@Sc0tch_Whiskey So i have noticed this. Here in the west or atleast California. From around 5am to 9am since the last update I have not been able and others to get into a match. Even with very low players or even higher. Anytime before or after there is no issue at all. So I don’t know why that is. Did EA/Dice decide the servers will be shut down then? Or direct all the players from different regions to one side leaving one side with nothing? I don’t know. But after a long time of the same issue around the same time I’m just thinking there is more going on and nothing is being said or done.

Perhaps some of the guys on here with in depth server knowledge could throw some light on this please. ?
DICE really need to take urgent action to help all of the players currently unable to get into matches, this is not acceptable.
