Solved

All BF 2042 servers are empty?

I can't get into a single game. I play on Xbox One. I have cross play enabled. Disabling it makes no difference. I've tried getting into a game numerous times today. Every time I land on the "Waitin...

This issue is resolved for me. I've been able to successfully find full games for a few weeks now. I play on Xbox. The trick for me was making sure BOTH cross-play settings were enabled - the one for the console AND the one in the game itself. I was not getting responses on this thread, so I opened a bug here and got helpful responses https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Can-t-get-into-a-game/m-p/11567385/highlight/true#M17336.

Yea if it's a region thing, that's a bummer. I'd actually consider that a big bug. If the game is sold in regions with low player count then it would seem reasonable that the game should be designed in a way to enable those players to consistently play the game.

A quick search does turn up a few bug reports like this one https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Not-enough-players-on-my-region-for-breakthrough-game-mode/m-p/11173757/highlight/true#M12663. Might be worth logging a bug of your own.

@LatchedSeven44 Makes absolutley zero difference for me in my region. I have crossplay turned on in my Xbox One console settings as well as the BF2042 in game settings.

When I try to Match Make in All Out Warefare I can only MM in Exodus Conquest currently. Every other game mode in AOW I am waiting for 16 players to join every time. I sit there until MM times out and then dumps me back in the AOW lobby.

I havnt been able to play a single game of Breakthrough since Christmas. Thats 8 months and counting now......

All this can be easially solved by implementing a Server Browser like previous BF titles so I can change my region and play the game modes I want to play.

I have the exact same problem on XBOX ONE X. But it only started after the Season 2 update was installed.
Since Season 1 is over I have not been able to play online. Whatever game type I try, all the rooms are and stays empty.
Before season 2 I have never ever had this issue. Sometimes it took more time to join (1 minute) but that was the worst case.

  @DAVEEBOY76 Thats it mate, Match Making (MM) is not working. They need to bring out a Server Browser and Persistant Servers for All Out Warefare (AOW) so we can all play the game. I have not been able to play a single game of Breakthrough on the core AOW maps since Christmas. I am often the only person in the lobby even though I have crossplay turned on. We need to be able to change our region or at the very least MM needs to change our region for us if there are no games in our region to play. I thought with the addition of Rush to AOW that it would have been chockers but the most people queing to play one game in there at the minute with me is 3. Currently the only game I can play is conquest 24/7 on Stranded. Managed 2.5 games of Breakthrough 24/7 last night before there were not enough players to start a third round.

HELL .. even browsing matches i find most of matches connection is on RED BAR .. very bad connection with that server ALTHOUGH i have a fiber optics internet connection with over 500 download speed and 150 upload speed .. i really couldn't find whats going on .. please help
