Reduce Minimum Player Count to Start 128-Player Matches – South America

Exactly. For those of us who love Battlefield 2042 and enjoy playing 128-player Conquest, it's frustrating not being able to start a lobby.
Players from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay, and Venezuela struggle to find matches and often have no choice but to use a VPN to connect to U.S. servers — which results in a high ping, usually between 170 to 200 ms.

Latin American players would benefit greatly if the minimum number of players required to start a match were significantly reduced.

Thank you

Man, for real! We're constantly dealing with this issue in our region. Waiting for 32 players just to start a 128, player lobby is way too much — it's not working here. By the time it gets close to filling, people quit or get kicked for inactivity. It’s honestly killing the experience for those of us who still want to play seriously. That minimum player count needs to be reduced, no question. The devs really need to pay attention to this.

EA open your eyes. do the minimun for your players, they are your support. Learn to hear the comunnity

I agree with the proposal. We indeed have this difficulty in starting a lobby of 128 players on All-Out Warfare.

In fact, we have tens of 64 players lobbies full of players in South America, but most most players don't want to wait for the lobby to reach 32 players to finally be able to play 128 mode, so most of them end up choosing to play 64-player matches, after all they only want to play Battlefield 2042, but because of this, the 128-player lobby is always empty, which is sad, since one of the great innovations of Battlefield 2042 was the creation of matches with 128 simultaneous players.

EA, we really need a change. Lowering the minimum player count from 32 to something like 16 or 20 would make a big difference. In the South America region, it is almost impossible to start 128-player lobbies. There are plenty of 64-player servers, but the 128 ones almost never start because there are not enough players. EA needs to look into this because it is hurting the experience for those who want to enjoy full-scale matches.

Honestly, it makes no sense that we're still stuck needing 32 players to start a 128 lobby. In South America, that's just not realistic right now. EA really needs to adjust this, we're being left out of the core experience.

Sure, it will keep the game alive.

I’ve even waited up to 3 hours in the waiting room just to gather the 32 players needed. During that time, over 100 players joined — there’s a constant rotation, but the game kicks them out due to inactivity. Several times, we tried to let them know through the chat that they should switch classes to avoid being kicked, but many don’t read the messages or simply get tired of waiting.

Once the required players are finally in, the 128-player match stays active until the evening. However, the next day we have to go through the whole process again, trying to convince new players not to leave the waiting room.

I really hope EA listens to our voices — it's so frustrating to wait for hours just to play something we love.

We never actually get full 128 players servers because the game requires at least 32 people to even start,  it's frustrating and makes for a really negative experience.
