Due to South Africa’s population it’s almost impossible to get a server for hazard zone, I’d appreciate if there was a upscale for the ping to be allowed to play in Europe, I’ve been trying all day to get a hazard zone match and not one yet. I think because the ping is set low for server browsing it defaults me to South African hazard zone servers, It would be nice to play with more densely populated places like europe
Server Browser would have fixed that partially!
Hello, EAHelp. I am a PS4 player and I could not start the hazard zone game mode either my self alone nor with my friends in 4-mans squad. I just don't know what happen and its even didn't gave me an error message. However, the All-out Warfare and Portal are function normally.
If it is the player count issue why me and my 3 other friends happen too?

I recorded a video and posted on youtube in this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OK_viTChMNs
Or the second situation, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79ALt5y8BZs at 11:30 I did load into the [waiting for other players] screen but then still pop me out to the menu after a while.
Is there any possibility that seeing how many players are queuing for the game mode or just let the players enter the game mode without full 24-players?
Why is there so lacking of information for the player to spot out the reason why we are not able to play the game.

I have been trying to play HazardZone and it just shows "waiting for players" and exits back to the Game Mode Selection. I spent long time like this multiple times and hence finished 2 hours of gameplay and steam wont give me a refund. Will HazardZone be fixed ?
DICE TeamHey, @GavinLSmile have you tried our connective guide and see if that helps?
Let us know what you tried.
/Atic
Hello, @EA_Atic Thankyou for you attention, seriously....
according to the article, I have tried the connective guide
1.Use a wired connection.
Yes, I did try to use wired connection but it still the same situation just like I use wireless. it stuck in the [waiting for other players] then go back to the menu.
2.Move your router.
Yes, it already the closest distance I could even tried to set up.
3.Wireless? Change your Wi-Fi channel.
I am using 5Ghz network and the channel is 149 and there are only 3 other household using this channel surrounding my search area.
I did also tried 2.4GHz network and there are still go back to the menu.
4.Other things to check
I pretty sure my connection is very stable since I could play All-out Warfare and Portal normally with my 3 other friends either Coop AI or VS players.
And I assume that wasn't the connection problem at the players court, because my 3 other friends also couldn't play Hazard Zone at all, it just keep [waiting for other players] then go back to the menu even we are the 4-man squad.
I saw some other players also appear this issue even in different platform or in PS5
Hazard Zone does not start
Can't even play hazard zone anymore? Lobbies won't start
Hazard Zone mode issue
I just casually searching about '' Could not start hazard zone '' and I found 3 article about this issue.
Maybe this is not my particular problem?
DICE TeamHazard zone is my favourite I’m only here because for the last hour I have an issue with booting me back to menu after a while first time it’s happened though 🤷♂️
