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.
Community ManagerHey @Coldpawn,
This is most likely because all of you are in one place, which means that all of you are using one ( 1 ) actual network address (IP address) to connect to the game servers.
I am not sure if there is a fix for this, also mainly because of Battlefield 2042 being a cross-play/cross-progression etc. game I think so many people connecting from one ( 1 ) actual network address is asking for trouble, so to say.
However, one thing I am curious about; are you maybe able to check if you have something called double-WAN? This is something some ISPs enable on their customers' modems/routers that could potentially also cause this issue.
I had the same problem here. In the first days, we can play together. After 1 month, we cant play together anymore in same network. ALL the other BFs Works Very well.
Community Managernon problem for me and my son, 2 PC with same IP
Try UPNP on, off, in you router
My friend and I both bought BF 2042 for PS4.
We can each play online but not at the same time.
When either he comes online whilst I am playing or if I come online whilst he is playing we are both immediately kicked from our game/ the main menu and then keep seeing "Unable to connect to EA server" error message.
It's really strange, it happens every time, as soon as either of us ceases to be idle and moves our controller it kicks the both of us.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your reply.
We live about 30km's away from each other and neither of us use any sort of VPN service so I don't think this could be the case right?
Thank you again for your support.
Hi there,
thank you for your response.
We have separate copies of the game as well as separate Playstation + subscriptions.
Any help is appreciated.
