Only connecting to empty lobbies

Hello, 

Please help me, i try to play on ps4 battlefield 2042 and while connecting to any game mode anytime in the day i connect only to empty lobbies, it is the same frustrating thing (1/32, 1/64)

I am located in United Arab Emirates in the middle east 

And i have my crossplay option on

And i can play battlefield v (europe servers) and battlefield 1 ( uae servers and of course Europe)

Can someone help, please

Thanks 

Best Regards

    Hi @Basheir92 

    We can try the following in case were running into a connection issue:

    If this keeps up, do you know if this started happening at a specific point or if you can join friends? 

  • Hello,

    Thanks for replying 

    U tried the solutions and the result is the same

    I will attach a photo from the game

    This started happening 2 months after after the game was put in ps+ games

    At first i could join friends but now it gives error

    For your info i had to go on twitch, find a streamer, copy a username playing, adding them then trying to join him in a game and an error came up that i can not join them

    I think i shouldn't go around this much for playing a game 😅

    Thanks 

    Best regards

    Hi @Basheir92, Does this happen in Conquest or breakthrough? If you try to join a Portal lobby are you able to connect or do you get an error message?

  • Hello, 

    TDM - connects with ai, maybe 1 or 2 real players

    Conquest- both types the usual conquest and the new map one (empty lobbies)

    Breakthtough - empty lobbies

    Portal - i tried to join 2 times today, (one map only), game writes failed and going back to main menu kinda error

    Please, i need to remind you that i live in UAE, ps4 player maybe it makes a difference 

    Thanks 

    Best regards
