Re: Can't play battlefield with friends on the same network

Hey @Coldpawn,

This is most likely because all of you are in one place, which means that all of you are using one ( 1 ) actual network address (IP address) to connect to the game servers.

I am not sure if there is a fix for this, also mainly because of Battlefield 2042 being a cross-play/cross-progression etc. game I think so many people connecting from one ( 1 ) actual network address is asking for trouble, so to say.

However, one thing I am curious about; are you maybe able to check if you have something called double-WAN? This is something some ISPs enable on their customers' modems/routers that could potentially also cause this issue.

    Your response is vague and the issue persists. Do a simple google search for the same subject. I bought this on steam for 4 members of my family who like to play this on the same network and against bots because of rampant public toxicity. We are experiencing the same issues as countless others. Please provide a fix for the issue or give us all refunds. It is somewhat ridiculous in this day and age to say a LAN party connecting to the same server to play together is asking for trouble. STOP making us join EA servers to play a game we purchased. Fix the servers and stop abandoning titles to move on to the next one that will inevitably have the same stupid issues spanning decades.
