Manifest is literally unplayable (YOU NEED TO READ THIS DEVS, NOW)

Product: Battlefield 2042
Platform:PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
AMD or Nvidia Model Number RTX 3090 and 3080
Enter RAM memory size in GB 16GB and 32GB
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Multiplayer
Which part of the mode? Breakthrough
Please select your region North America
On which server did this happen? Breakthrough, Manifest & Renewal
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 1/19 and 1/20
Summarize your bug Renewal and Manifest are broken. Both maps are crashing 75%+ of the server (Drops down to about 20 vs. 20). Manifest seems to be the worst of the two. I've noticed on Manifest the crashing primarily happens during the 3rd sector. Not sure about renewal. After the crash, there's tons of invisible players, invisible vehicles, and your guns/gadgets are invisible and you cannot ADS. It has happened multiple times on both Renewal & Manifest, and again, about 75% of the server crashes. I play side by side with my girlfriend so we don't always crash at the same time which is how I'm able to see exactly what's going on. Since January 19th, I've yet to play Manifest without this major crash and bug occurring. This needs a MAJOR hotfix and the map probably needs removed from the pool ASAP. Renewal crashes seem less frequent, but it still happens.
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Just go play Manifest & Renewal on any platform, especially Manifest. If you are lucky enough not to crash yourself, you will see the teams go down to around 20 vs. 20 at some point because the bug/crash WILL occur, especially on Manifest.
What happens when the bug occurs? 75% of the server crashes out, guns/players/vehicles/gadgets become invisible. Cannot ADS no matter what. The game is basically ruined. And because you guys thought it would be a great idea to have no server browser, you can't avoid the map and keep getting put back into it when requeuing.....
What should be happening instead? No crashing.....

‌

Not much else to say it's all said above. I can tell you there are rumors in the community that DICE is intentionally sabotaging this game to get more and more people to quick. And the rumor has some legs because the game has become MORE buggy over time.....Absolutely crazy what's going on

I've only crashed out twice, out of 120 hours in the last 2 weeks (450 hours total - im S051+).
One was on Renewal, the other was on Discarded. Manifest ive played the most and never had it happen on that map.
Also most of us dont believe rumours that Dice would intentionally sabotage their revenue stream. It's absolutely killing their return on investment on developing this game, and the potential revenue from Season passes. Also no it hasn't become more buggy over time.

Play Manifest today and get back to me, specifically make it to the 3rd sector of Breakthrough 128.
And I have close to 500 hours and somewhere around S60, and my girlfriend is S30 with similar hours.
go play Manifest 128 breakthrough today and get back to me. I guarantee your tune will change.

@AvocadoPablo Manifest 128 breakthough. Just played it. I disappeared, so did have the people and half the vehicles. Interesting, but NOT fun.

Yup. Just played it today with my girlfriend. She crashed first...I noticed server dumped half the players from 64 vs 64 all the way down to 30's vs. 30's.....then about a minute later I crashed.....
Manifest has major fatal errors that are crashing 50%+ of the server nearly every time the map is played....then because the player count is so low....you are put back into the manifest map over and over again and can't get away from it to play a map that isn't bugged.
Man, this is bad. This game is getting worse with each passing day. It literally feels like intentional sabotage of Battlefield so you can run everyone off and not have to pay to keep servers up and keep my $90 USD.
How is this not being addressed in a hot fix ASAP? We literally only have 7 maps ya'll and having one of them broken is a huge freakin issue. WTF?
I would give anything to speak with whoever is responsible for this game for 5 minutes

@AvocadoPablo I had this happen in a game on Renewal a couple of weeks ago. I stayed in the server but all three of the people in my party crashed along with 80% of the players in the server. It went from full 128 players to like 12v12.

It happens sometimes in Renewal. I had it happen this morning on Renewal.
It's mostly Manifest though. Doesn't happen every time you play Manifest, but feels like it happens 50% or more of the time.
It is a game-breaking, server-breaking bug that you would think would need a hotfix ASAP.
But nothing is ever done quickly for some reason when Battlefield is involved. It feels like they have 1 person working 10 hours a week from home in Sweden, when he feel's like it, on the whole game.
