Re: Stuck on standby screen

I'm still experiencing that issue.

I've uninstall the game and re-install it again. update button at Origin is available even after fresh re-install.

Try to join a game with no luck.

This is how its look like: https://vimeo.com/703146099

I cancel crossplay and join a game - it work but I cannot tell if its the problem as I able to join a match once in a while even if crossplay is on.

For example, I enable crossplay again and it work also, and I didn't try again since.

EDIT:

"Double NAT" was active from my ISP side, which means that I got external IP address and another virtual IP which I can only see at the router's administrator settings.
It means that if you forward ports it just wouldn't work because the ports never forwarded to the right IP and basically block from ISP side.
When that "double NAT" disabled I got brand new IP that I set to static, and then forward the ports that I mention to that specific static IP.
It maybe work even without forward the ports, just by disable that "double NAT" thing. In my case I took no prisoners and forward those ports.

All BF2042 mods I've tested right now work without issues, first time from game release at November.

Cheers

@EA_AticI'm glad I could help.
Its solve my friend same issue as all mention in this thread.
My friend for example cannot never join a game after the game starts, it show him the count down then "Waiting for leader to start game" and repeat. Now it work also in all mods include portal, which my friend cannot never join from game release.

Anyway, I suggest a test that help me resolve that issue -

Run a Trace Route:

• Open the Start Menu and search for ‘cmd’.
• Open the Command Prompt.
• When prompted, type ‘tracert’ followed by a space and the URL you want to test.
• Press the Enter key.
This test maps the internet traffic between your computer and an internet destination. It is often used to identify connectivity problems or delays.

Once the trace route is complete, check the first two IP addresses listed. If they are both private IP addresses, you are using a double NAT.

Private IP addresses usually appear in these number ranges:

10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255

In a double NAT set up, the connection will travel through two private networks, which can cause or add to other connectivity issues.

Forwarding ports can help resolve some of the issues you may be experiencing.

If necessary - I forward those ports I read that BF2042 use:
TCP:
5222, 9988, 1705, 20000-20100, 22990, 42127

UDP:
3659, 14000-14016, 22990-23006, 25200-25300

I use good application HERE that got free port checker, and it's reliable as you can check for example for "TCP 5222" and it tells you if this specific port open to your external IP, and its good indication if you got "double NAT" after you forward ports and they are still blocked.

Now the game works 100% of the time, Cheers EA team and players.🥳

I faced the exactly same issue: I cannot join any further matches after the first match.

My original network configuration is actually double NAT:

• Modem (NAT / UPnP disabled) -> AP (NAT / UPnP enabled) -> PS5

After several attempts of different configurations, I finally found the best and easiest solution:

• Modem (NAT / UPnP enabled) -> AP (Bridged) -> PS5

There're several important conditions in order to ensure the Battlefield 2042 can build connection behind NAT:

1. Don't use double NAT, make sure your network configuration is single NAT only.
2. Enable UPnP or port forwarding in your modem/AP with that single NAT.

Now the issue is totally fixed.

this problem got nothing related to connection issue of player's internet. Stop shifting the blame to the players Cheapskate EA game server is the culprit, but knowing EA. This will be never resolved ever. 

I'm double NAT'd so I tried forwarding the list you included, but it didn't work for me.

I've also tried verifying game files and updating my gpu driver (I'm on PC).

The game played fine yesterday, and now, I get stuck on 'stand by' screen every attempt - doesn't matter what mode I select. 

@EA_Leeuw Are you aware of this issue? I just came back to the game Again after extended break due to game-breaking bugs, and now I can't play Again.

The history of my 2042 issues is tragic, smh.

Same issue, stuck in the loading screen for any match i try to join says stand by at the bottom. The game is working fine in main lobby, its when you try ro play that its screwed. I can also hear other players when stuck in the loading screen. I have been in multiple chats with EA advisors and they keep making me reset and restart my stuff, as if it isn't their bs servers. All my other games work just fine, It's only battlefield that's doing this.

Hello
