Battlefield 2042 – Portal Server Hosting Error “No server found // 9:7205636470

Hello everyone,  

I'm currently having trouble hosting the server from another guy (with his CODE) on the Battlefield 2042 portal.

 

Every time I click on “Host Server” in the game, I get the error message:  

MISTAKE  
No server found // 9:7205636470  

Other portal servers (of other players) are online and working without problems

→ the problem only affects my own hosting.  

My settings:        
Cross-Play: ON        
Allow followers: ON        
Persistent Server: ON (also tested with OFF)         
Game message: OFF        
Welcome greeting: nothing

Previous attempts at solutions:      
Tried turning persistent server OFF → same error    
Cleared cache in EA app and restarted game    
Tested without VPN/firewall/AntiVirus

Is this currently a known bug with Portal hosting or any possible workarounds until EA fixes this issue?
Do I need to open or forward any ports on my router or PC for this to work? But i dont think so ?

Thanks in advance for any help!

    I tried writing to the guys on Twitter, maybe that will get this problem off the ground

    You are not the only one having this issue and is true that if you go on custom game in the Server Browser is completely filled with the same Server over and over again hosted by different people. What really hits the nerve for me is that is an „afk“ Server where you basically dont have to do anything and by the end you gain XP and that‘s it. I would like to send a Screenshot with Proofs too, My opinion if you want to gain XP without even playing the normal way then I dont know what you are playing the Game for. Seriously hoping that they start to remove this waste of Servers so that actual Players can enjoy the Game like its meant to be played.

  • Holy moly i just today realized someone not only did a post about this in this forum, but it had way more visibility

    i think we should help eachother, the more people complaining the more pressure, Here is the link to our post in the General forum, i will also link your post into our section "more people reporting this event"

    it is unknown if our post will do anything, but at least it will evidence for people who play battlefield 6 when stuff goes to hell in there as well, that this is indeed nothing new

    Morning troop's,,,I mentioned this on the forum nearly 2 weeks ago it hasn't filled with great hope for bf6 portal if this is happening on bf2042 & EA has done nothing about the afk xp server's & the gamer's who like to ruin the everyday bf gamer's experience I can just imagine what it's going to be like on bf6 portal, us everyday bf gamer's are not being listened to voicing our opinion on this forum mean's nothing I don't even think they actually do anything it's other gamer's who come up with all the solution's & answer's,, I'm slowly moving away from bf2042 & I've cancelled my pre order for bf6 as Im getting more frustrated now when I'm gaming the happiness & laughing that I used to have with friend's has gone due to cheat's hacker's & afk server's,,,I was alway's told if something is taking away your peace of mind you have to let it go & move in a different direction.

    Since the last Battlefield 2042 update, I've been getting this same error message when starting a portal server: "ERROR" NO SERVER FOUND // 9:7205636470.

    I managed to get the server running three times. In the evening, I wanted to play a round with friends, but to no avail. I still got the error message: "No server found." I then sorted my server by location in the server list because the ping was 102 and discovered that the location is in North America. My location is EU (Germany). And I was wondering why the ping was so high! Normally, it's 16 for servers from the EU (for me). I managed to start the server three times, and three times the location was North America. Why North America??? Every time I tried to connect to the server, I got this error message. What is this crap, EA? Why is a server from Germany starting in North America (region in the EA app: Germany)????

  • Same issue, im on xbox though. To be fair it is one of the older ones I think a s model. Could that be an issue that im not using a series s or series x model?
