@JOGAGATYA Good luck, I’ve been preaching and talking about it for months. Most don’t seem to care enough. The numbers in the forums are way too low to effect change, it’s why Dice doesn’t give our opinion much thought either. I’m not sure either community has enough of a player base to make this work.

@ATFGunr I haven't tried it for quite some time. In my experience Crossplay is the default for the game. So you need to opt-out manually.
When you do that you find it hard to get matches started.
There is also the issue, that your setting is reset to default, when you join a friends party that has crossplay enabled. This doesn't happen just for the time you are in the same party, but is a persistent change to your config.
So you need to disable crossplay again, after leaving the party.
Doing that daily for several weeks is very tedious, so I gave up.
Both sides, console players and pc players have valid reason not wanting to play with the other side. It is the less spread higher stability on console vs. keyboard and mouse on PC issue.
In my opinion crossplay should be an opt-in feature, if you want to play with friends on a different platform. But I guess is right with the idea that nearly nobody would do that so they force us.

- ATFGunr3 years agoLegend@kregoraI agree. Playing crossplay off results in more bots which is less of a challenge and frankly less fun than playing real people. The choice is completely awful game play, or a more fun experience. Being killed by packets of bullets with no chance to dodge isn’t that fun either. I’m a PC player, I don’t think consoles are EZ targets at all, I want crossplay off because Dice can’t build a system that works for all of us.
- kregora3 years agoSeasoned Ace@ATFGunr I doubt anyone can build a system that works for everybody. At least not in an economic way.
When I snipe, I doubt there is any difference between pc and console targets.
In CQB I usually loose against aim assist plus higher accuracy/stability of console players.
I know its subjective impression. But players should play with the same game mechanics / physics, when they play on the same server.
I know this is an issue we have, that only exists because of crossplay.- JOGAGATYA3 years agoSeasoned Ace
Guys all i can say is that crossplay between consoles and PC is a HUGE issue. THE biggest issue the game has now. Any PS5 player, if you can, download and try to play the PS4 version. The evidence is there in the difference. I LOVE love love battlefield, but this the first time in 20 years I don't enjoy playing BF because how bad it is with crossplay on. Even PC players have no idea how good it COULD be.
Actually: can PC olayers find games with crossplay off? Does it feel better?
