Re: Cannot join a game server as a party or join a friend's game server

Hey @lox72,

Does this issue persist after a game restart, the moment after the issue occurs? And are you both on PC, or is your friend on a different platform?

  • This happens to my kids and I when trying to join a game, sometimes we can all three get into a server but it's rare and takes far too much effort to be worth it. 

    Even when it's only the two of us attempting to join, it's nearly impossible for us both join. Sometimes it doesn't return to the main menu, it just stays blank. 

  • I am having the same problem as stated above. My roommate and I cannot join the same game when we are in a party, only one person will end up joining.

    We have tried restarting the game, EA Launcher and our PCs but the problem persists. We are both on PC.

  •  this is happening to me aswell. i am on pc and my friend is on ps5. we both have tried restarting everyhting and nothing is working

  • I am having the same issue. My wife and I can play one match together, and then either one or the other of us get into the next match, with the other being black screened and put at the main menu. We played for a few months with no issues, and recently it happens exactly like this every single time. Both same system, PC. We have restarted, tried having other party members be the leader. Once it fails it will not work again. Cannot join match, get stuck in queue and eventually booted from that as well. Doesn't happen to any of our friends. Very frustrating. Was going to buy the battle pass today when it happened. If we can't play together, I'm definitely not going to spend any money on this game. Especially since it seems to be a long running, recurring issue with no suggested resolution or acknowledgement.

  • Day 2 of no response from EA on the issue. Issue still persists. Can play 1 match with another player on the same local network, and the next match one person gets kicked to main menu. Game is unplayable and unenjoyable for my wife and I.

  • Day 3 of no response from EA on this issue. Continuing to troubleshoot on my own to no avail. Will post an update if I figure it out.

  • Day 4 of no response from EA on this issue. Issue still persists. Have not found a solution to the issue on my own. Ridiculous that there is no way to submit a formal ticket or get support in general. Have been tweeting @Battlefiled and @EAHelp with no response there either. I guess that's what you get with small indie companies.

  • Any luck with this? 

    I've tried everything, waiting for friends to join into a game then I join their party.  Still always get kicked back to main menu.  Its so frustrating.

    I'm getting the same issue. 3 of us in a party. All on PC. The game starts two players go into the match I'm stock at the lobby screen or sometimes a black screen. Game fills up, can't get into the game at all. It's like the game can't handle the size preconstructed parties correctly.
