Trying to play with Friends on BF2042

Hello everyone

Today I got a few friends to jump on 2042 with me. All PSN players, some on PS4, some on PS5... but we couldn't all find each other in the game.

We tried Social PSN IDs, but our names didn't come up under Playstation Network Online list. Our names didn't show under EA Friends list either. We tried searching our EA IDs to invite each other,  but no players matched the search criteria. We tried searching for the same server names, and experience names but different matches would come up for us. We all had cross play on. We were all showing online in playstation settings.

I made a custom experience and passed the code. They were all able to find it, and host it, but it wouldn't come up on search after one of us was hosting it so none of us were able to join. 

After about 15 to 20 minutes worth of searching the internet for answers we jumped on cod... we all show up on cod social.

I hope the social feature gets polished in the future. For now, if anyone has any idea on how to find and add friends in 2042, apart from what I've tried so far, I would appreciate it.

Thank you for reading.

    esprit de corps

     

    When a group — whether it's a team, club, class, or Scout troop — gives its members a sense of cohesion and support, it has esprit de corps.

    If you've ever been on a sports team that had great morale and team spirit, you've experienced esprit de corps. The term is French, and it literally means "the spirit of the body," with body in this case meaning "group." Originally, esprit de corps was used to describe the morale of military troops. Pronounce it with a hint of a French accent: "espree de core."

    Definitions of esprit de corps
    1. noun
      the spirit of a group that makes the members want the group to succeed

    God forbid that EA/Dice ever figures this out.....the resulting great game would be tooooo much fun for the masses to take!!!

    @Trokey66 True, but I believe that is only if you have purchased the PS4 version or the PS5 digital deluxe or something. [I don't know, I play on PC, just something I remember reading] but I remember that it isn't a guarantee.

    @Anobix Initially, Gold or higher was required to get the PS4 version with the PS5 version but then they changed it to any PS5 version 🤬

    Damn... that was unexpected. Thanks for the info. Hopefully the devs can figure this out sometime down the line.

    @NewYorkGameflow Don’t hold your breathe, it’s not something they are even working on. The game itself is different between the generations of consoles, lower graphics, limited players (64 on last Gen, 128 on new). I’m not sure they could even if they wanted to. Without a server browser in All Out Warfare, you can’t choose what server to play on for the peeps you could play with. A party is maxed at 4, so you’d have to play in a Portal server only. Some portal servers don’t offer full XP, so you’ll have to make some choices. Sucks but it’s what it’s at.

    Hey @NewYorkGameflow,

    It is in correct that there are different versions of the game; the current and last-gen. Current and last-gen versions can't cross-play with each other. If you run the last-gen version of the game on the current gen console, it should indeed be possible. This is also explained on our websites.

    Yea, the idea was to make a few portal games we can all jump on and have fun in, we would invite more friends and fill in the rest of the spots with bots. Then, as you mentioned, I found out that exp is restricted when using bots. Between some of us having to get the ps4 version of the game, and exp being restricted with bots, the whole idea kind of became pointless... sadly.
