Ever since the 5.0 update none of the Portal Experiences are backfilling with A.I.Was this intentional, an oversight, a bug or what?I don't recall seeing anything mentioned in the changelog/patch notes or did I miss it?

Well, I hope it gets fixed soon, myself and the guys I play with prefer cross-play off, so we've been playing the Portal experiences almost exclusively for a while now.There has been a pretty healthy community of PC players that have been playing regularly and keeping the Portal experiences populated with cross-play off, but this change seems to have run them all off for the time being.I tried playing a few rounds with cross-play on to try out the new map and it was an absolutely miserable experience; I know a lot of players don't mind it, but cross-play just feels completely broken to me.

@Ironhead841 Yes it needs to be fixed promptly. Same as sorting out the user-created experiences no longer allowing ribbons and weekly tasks.

Started happening a little while before the patch actually; I hope they fix it soon - I see Assault Rifle Rush on the horizon 👀

@Ironhead841 It seems buggy. Yesterday I had matches of Air Superiority where bots loaded in as expected, but other times I tried I'd only get bots on my side, so I'd just be flying around without any opposition. I think that something in the update severely affected Portal.

No more A.I. Backfill for Portal Experiences?

Same here, I have really been enjoying playing the weekly Portal Experiences with cross play turned off and here in the UK you get to see the same players popping up daily.
I tried to play the new map with cross play on and it was not a good experience at all.
Fortunately by the afternoon I am able to play Reclaimed with cross play off on a full server so there is definitely a growing population of like minded players who enjoy the benefits of cross play off.
Hopefully DICE reinstate the AI asap so we can get back to enjoying playing the Portal Weekly Experiences.

@Ironhead841 I suspect that A.I progression issue affects all the bots including the ones in the official experiences

Yeah I think you are right and hopefully they will issue a hot fix to resolve this asap.

@Ironhead841 Don't know if the same bug with Custom Portal servers is linked to DICE curated experiences, but yeah. Massive oversight that should've been fixed not less than a day later. Portal is literally the game's Defibrillator, but now the Defibrillator is being used on a patient that is already alive.
