XSX: No servers on console when cross play is off?

I just bought the game on XSX and am trying to find servers to play via the Portal section, but there's literally none when I have cross play turned off. I have to have cross play turned on in order for any servers to show, which means I have to play with PC players, and as a complete newbie to the game it's sort of throwing me in at the deep end.
 
I tried just using quickplay as well with cross play turned off, but it searches for a while and then just puts me into a lobby where I'm the only player there, and then have to wait for ages for the lobby to fill.
 
Is this normal? Surely the game isn't THAT dead on console is it? I really hope not.

  • @Vanch333There are a few reasons that cuased the current garbage that is 2042 on next gen consoles.

    1: crossplay is defualt most games have you opt in

    2: the aim assit is garbage it doesnt work. There is no effective snape aim. All aim assit does it creates a slowing bubble around the target that makes it damn near impossible to keep on target.

    3: Series X in particular got screwed as the abilty to toggle cross play off was disabled for the series x at release. Then when they addressed three months later the servers wouldnt start even with players in the server and it took another 6 weeks to fix. By that time a huge part of the series x player base quit do to effectively forced crossplay with PC players by Dice.

    4: Dice doesn't care about console issues. We have repeatedly called for only console crossplay, to fix aim assist for console (for some reason pc players say aim assit works for them. Though when asked to show video proof they never do), to address the horrible controller imput nor do they address the massive framerate and hit registration issues on console. Ignoring requests for input based match making. Hell Dice wont even give us mouse and keyboard support for consoles.

    Pretty much Dice screwed over next gen consoles. So far they have ignored us no matter how many threads we have made. Some of the largest forum threads were about next gen console issues and Dice didnt have the courtesy even once to address the issues on the forums or even a blog post.

    Hi @xXHappy_PuppyXx ,

    The neglect from EA/DICXE's side on the many and very substantial issues for the console players is even more intriguing and disturbing, when considering the hard fact that the vast majority of all Battlefield players are indeed playing the game on a console!

    No excuse for them, but considering the very high number of bugs and missing contents/functionality in this game on day of release and still here today 6+ months after launch, its obvious this game was in an ill state all across so many areas.  So in that perspective we shouldn't be that surprised either that the consoles had/have many issues still with this game, as it is just not for consoles and its not just a few things here and there.  It is widespread problems across the entire range of issues you can have with an online multiplayer FPS game and BF2042 have them all...

  • how do we switch to xbox one version? are EA/dice every going to fix this,

    @FRUITBATMAC If you have the digital Standard version, or Gold/Ultimate Edition then you'd just install the Xbox One game from the store.
  • Month after release there's no more hope for this title. Is there just one feature that players have requested?! I can't find any server on XSX without crossplay. So sad Dice. So sad EA.

    On Xbox One and Xbox X/S, we can fire up BF4, a game that’s been out for over w decade, and easily find a match via SERVER BROWSER pretty much any time of day or night. Even more so with BF1 and BFV thanks to the SERVER BROWSER and map rotations.
