Can't even launch the game
I'll keep it short and simple so the people at EA can understand this. Launch BF2042, matchmaking error loop. Find out it usually happens when you're missing an update. No update shown in the EA ...

We do not have our official ports publicly listed, however your ISP can walk you through steps on how to adjust your router settings so you do not have STRICT NAT. If you login to your router's administrator settings (instructions are on the router), you can check to see if you have uPnP enabled or disabled. You'll want that enabled for gaming.
@EA_BlueberryI happy to announce that after months of matchmaking loop issue I able to finally solve this problem as I mention in my last comment here.
"Double NAT" was active from my ISP side, which means that I got external IP address and another virtual IP which I can only see at the router's administrator settings.
It means that if you forward ports it just wouldn't work because the ports never forwarded to the right IP and basically block from ISP side.
When that "double NAT" disabled I got brand new IP that I set to static, and then forward the ports that I mention to that specific static IP.
It maybe work even without forward the ports, just by disable that "double NAT" thing. In my case I took no prisoners and forward those ports.
All BF2042 mods I've tested right now work without issues, first time from game release at November.
And I must tell that I solve that NAT type at For honor to open, finally after 3 years of strict status.
Those issues connected and solved together, so I hope it will be useful information.
