Half of the enemy team are made of bots (pc, crossplay on) in peak hour
Half of the enemy team and my team are made of bots... Plarform is PC with crossplay turned on, time is 23:30. Dice, you have to do something! Your game is dying!

@Jozso987 Out of interest what country are you in (I'm Scotland)? I've been trying out different servers just to see how busy they are, just connected to a new york server and at 07.00 (their time) in breakthrough 64 there was about 8 bots in total, not sure if that changed as the game progressed. I'm on PS5 with crossplay off
This issue seems to be very 'regional'.
Now this is just a thought.....
There have been many, many complaints about 'out of area' players going back years and covering all Battlefield games that I can remember. In light of this, is it not possible that matchmaking is deliberately keeping you 'in region'?
Depending on their size, some regions may be sparsly populated relatively speaking so it may stand to reason that full 'human' games are harder to come by.
This may be a case of "be careful what you wish for".
@Trokey66 Not really since the lag in some games is not EU based lol. People on resetera saying there is a bug with crossplay off when it comes to MM.
Or you have to account for 70% leaving on Steam the most popular store front lets not kid around with Origins numbers as if they where high EA wouldn't put games back on Steam. Xbox the game is 33/50 in US most played after sales... 28/50 in UK. Not sure how to tell PS4/5 population though.
@1Hairy-GorillaHow can you tell 'where the lag is coming from'?
Although lowering, population numbers are still in 5 figures globally mostly so getting 128 players in a server should at least be probable most of the time, especially around peak times.
If however, players are 'region locked' then that could explain things, especially away from peak times.
It could be a bug but it doesn't seem to affect UK PS5 servers as I have not had any issues and the appearance of bots has been remarkably limited.There are plenty of possible reasons for this long before we get to 'but the game is dead'.
