Endless Matchmaking - Waiting For Players

@RayD_O1Yep still having the problem of not getting into a AOW server unless I turn on cross play then it is unplayable. When i go to Portal and play TDM or Rush with cross play on can play no problem. But i would like to turn cross play off and play on a server. I am in Northern Canada and play on a PC. As I usually play late at night for a few hours after work, so i usually miss peak times for my area.
Just so you know my internet speeds are 1GB and test my speeds a lot when i see problems and usually it is not my end but server side.
A Few years ago when EA servers were directed though a 3rd party host server and hop a few times from a certain server provider it would cause problems. For the life of me can not remember the provider. Wondering if some of this is causing connection issue beside the low player count in certain regions.

Thanks for the update, I understand what you are saying and I don't thinks it's anything on your end. 

I am UK based and a PC player, I had to turn on crossplay a while  back as the waiting times in the lobby were annoying me with crossplay turned off.

As I have mentioned many times I think the only solution is to replace MM so we can all choose the servers we play on.

Hopefully DICE responds favourably to our requests.

Please remember to keep posting your regular support for replacing the current MM with the Server Browser / Persistent Servers system we had in previous BF's, thanks.

Cant get in ANY game

Not acceptable, we need to keep pushing daily for a proper Server Browser / Persistent Servers system until this gets sorted and you guys are able to play. !

Posting daily to keep this and other related threads alive, and hoping that DICE will reward us with a proper server browser set up like previous BF's. 

@RayD_O1The new update is out! And they removed the one AOW I ever played lol. 128 breakthrough and nothing about MM. Well that’s it I’m done. Thanks for everything. Best of luck everyone!

I actually didn't believe BF2042 could get any worse but it just did for you, sorry to hear that.

Could they not even have ran with both 64 / 128 versions so players could choose their preferred size rather than just axe the 128 player version.

@RayD_O1They sold the game on the idea of 128 and 64 and to remove it is saying to bad we don’t care why you bought it. 64 will be more packed with players and that actually good but it once again isolates players.

I hear what you are saying mate and I can understand why you feel cheated.

I hope that you may still be able to get some level of enjoyment out of playing the 64 player version.

I notice there was no mention of MM / Server Browser. ☹️  although one other thing I did notice was that Season 1 is due early June.

@RayD_O1I’ll try it because at this point I can atleast see if MM works with a full 64 mode since there isn’t another breakthrough. But it’s just more disappointment that we are losing modes than getting more.

Very true mate, I wish you luck with it.

So no Server Browser added in 4.1 update, not unexpected I suppose.

DICE can you add one in Season 1 as MM is not suitable for BF games and should only be used for the Quick Match option.

We are making a mistake if we specifically ask for a server browser. I think it is important, but the most important change would be map rotations (however they can achieve this) or at least the ability to select a map/maps before MM starts.

Persistent servers would be the logical step and as they already exist for Portal it is clear that this does not require much work. But even a server browser and no persistent servers/map rotations would be stupid if you could not see how far a round has progressed (so you will be able to join on your favorite map 10 seconds before the round ends).

What is NEEDED (and Dice knows that), absolutely and 100% required if the game should have ANY chance of recovering is for players to be able to play the maps they want and not being forced into maps they hate (or having to chancel match making several times).

When BF2042 was new it was reasonable that players might not have cared that much as any map was new and it was OK for say a week to have only match making. But once S1 drops and we get the new maps, all players first want to play on those new maps and definitely NOT on Hourglass, followed by Kaleidoscope and Breakaway.
