Re: No players in lobby when crossplay turned off

I am having this exact issue as well. I am an Xbox Series X user in the Pacific region of the United States (Washington state) This issue was present from the moment Early Access began. It seemed to be resolved for approximately 36 hours, 2 days into Early Access. But then reverted to this same issue and has not been resolved since. It is now December 3rd and three patches later this game is still incredibly broken. I cannot begin to express how long I waited for this game and how excited I was for years looking forward to the release of battlefield 2042. I am now in such a state of disappointment and disgust that I refuse to play it. This needs to be fixed!!

    @reezilient1 I think you won’t find Xbox only lobbies because of how difficult it is to turn off crossplay on Xbox SX/S. I think you have to go into a lot of settings just to turn crossplay off. It is much simple on PS5 because there is an option to turn off crossplay in options in the game but still I can’t find matches. I think they should’ve just gone with crossplay between both the consoles tbh, would’ve turned out better for everyone.

  • Yes, the turn off crossplay option is buried deep in the Xbox UI settings.  You have to go into account, then privacy, then Xbox privacy, then communication and multiplayer etc. I don't know if this is done intentionally in order to promote cross-platform integration or what, but in any case it is a dirty trick and is unacceptable. I wouldn't have as much of a problem if it actually worked when you DID turn it off. But then again the majority of this game doesn't work as intended anyways. I guess that is what you get when you hire a developer lead who's last major project was Candy Crush! Are you kidding me? What a joke.

  • @DanielRicciardo This has been resolved and now there is a toggle switch in the menu. But, regardless, we still cannot play. We can connect to a server but the match never starts.

    @BeltzClan6 I see so the better option would’ve been to have crossplay between the PS5 and Series X/S.
