Hi, thank you for the reply.
I am playing on Xbox One, I am based in Western Australia. I am trying to play the normal games, ie conquest and breakthrough in AOW. Since Christmas, I have not been able to play a single game of Breakthrough. I am the only one in the lobby waiting for another 16players to join. I can only play conquest but there not full servers, and once people start leaving then I am waiting in the lobby there as well trying to matchmake for ages before enough players join to get one more round in.
Since Season One has launched, I have been able to have decent games on the new map as the player numbers are up. I have not been able to play the normal conquest or breakthrough though as it seems everyone is only playing on the new map. Things seem to be quieting down a bit now and I barely get into play on the new map which is mainly AI.
I have been posting up for months now about this issue and you are the first person to respond. I have also asked that the server browser be brought back for these core game modes (AOW) which includes the filters so I can change my region which we had as standard in the previous BF titles. This seems to be falling on deaf ears, and as I read through the lobby's there is a tonne of people with the same issues requesting the same thing. So what's being done to resolve this issue and get this feature back into BF2042?
When I started reading this thread yesterday I thought my problems would be solved, alas after checking, both crossplay options were turned on so the solution on this tread is not helping me in my situation, as I am based in a different region with a very low player base. When I go into portal, there is like only 2-3 games with enough people to play with. The ping is red, and the maps and game modes are not what I want to play. At the minute, I want to play the game, but I cant change my region to play with others, and when I do get game, I have to play on a map I dont want to play and a game mode with rules that I dont want to play either. So I am finding it very frustrating.
I have also tried setting up my own server to see if others will join mine. But after about half an hour, I only had one person jump in and they left as quickly as they came.
