Hello fellow gamers and EA devs,

Im running a portal server on ps4 version,full 24/7.Cross play on for xbox ps5/ps4.

For 7 days in a row i tried to start a ps5 version of the same server only for ps5 players.

I wish i could make a console only server xbox and ps5 but it is not possible i think.

I started the server with crossplay off.

Ps5 players enter,but after every game they get auto booted from the server.'(disconnected from ea servers)

If you browse with crossplay off there are just 4 servers online..They should fix this,so console players can play together.Pc and consoles are not meant to play together in my opinion.

Recoil control,turning aiming etc etc way faster with pc mk.

If anybody knows why players are booted from the game after every match,i am open for suggestions.

the players all get the same error code : 1:4688822970

So ps5 only servers never get full and because of this bug

 

Thank you in advance

The Bug is well tested with multiple friends joining the server in  different game modes.They all get same error over and over again.This is the reason that console only servers are empty.
 
We tested : everyone crossplay off
                   some crossplay on.
                   with party crossplay off
                   with party 1 person crossplay on
                   everyone join seperately with crossplay off
                   tested rush,conquest small,conquest large

  • Thanks for the report! @boefje76,

    For the people that help you test this can you get them to write in this thread from their experience. (More examples helps a lot).

  • Hi EA_Atic,unfortunately not many of my friends have an EA account.As you probably know i cant record the bug in between matches.Only way to do it is with a phone to record.

    We tried a lot of possibility's to exclude the bug as you can see in my message.I really have a large community that really like to play ps5 only on portal.(or better console only)The demand is there,..But they give up because they have to join the server manually over and over again after every ending match. (browse search join).

    Hopefully this bug gets looked at,we now only play ps4 version,because there is console only option.And the server is full 24/7

    Thank you very much we appreciate EA support

    Hi @boefje76, in order to play EA games you need an EA Account makes it easy when using EA Systems and forums, any examples from other players would help a lot. 🙂

    Thanks for your support Hopefully we soon be able to play console only(on ps5 and or xbox)

  • This is an issue. We can't seem to have console only servers. I have absolutely zero interest in playing against PC for obvious reasons.

    Crossplay on last gen consoles is actually better as PS4 and Xbox One players all play together without PC, this should also be an option for PS5/Series X/S players.
