Can't play battlefield with friends on the same network

My friends and I all like to play battlefield 2042 together LAN style. We all have PCs at 1 place and we all squad up and try to join a game. However only 1 or 2 of us will get into the lobby while the other1 to 2 people get kicked back to the main menu. They are still in the party but are unable to join a game. Is there a fix for this.

    Hi @Weems420, sorry for the delay. Do you get any error codes it only happens when its only you 2 in a party or starting the game?

    Do you share network?

  • Your response is vague and the issue persists. Do a simple google search for the same subject. I bought this on steam for 4 members of my family who like to play this on the same network and against bots because of rampant public toxicity. We are experiencing the same issues as countless others. Please provide a fix for the issue or give us all refunds. It is somewhat ridiculous in this day and age to say a LAN party connecting to the same server to play together is asking for trouble. STOP making us join EA servers to play a game we purchased. Fix the servers and stop abandoning titles to move on to the next one that will inevitably have the same stupid issues spanning decades. 

  • Hello,

    I just bought Battlefield 2042 on Steam to play with my roommate who plays the game as well.

    He bought the game one year ago on EA App.

    Since he is my roommate, we have the same IP address, it's what I suppose is what causes the problem.

    The problem being that we can't play together...even worse if we play the game at the same time I can't go on ether portal on official servers if he's playing it until he shuts EA down.

    Hope you can Help us

  • @EA_Atic I am having this same issue but all with PC's and the only difference is I run Win 11 and I am kicked every time (lose connection) the Windows 10 pc's run with no issues.  Three PC's on the same network, running the same game.   Please Help!
