[Xbox Series X] Can't find any games when crossplay is disabled

I pre-ordered BF2042 Ultimate Edition for Xbox Series X and have had this issue ever since the launch of the game last year.

Every time I turn off crossplay and search for a game, it throws me into an empty lobby and waiting for players. Have not been able to play the game at all without crossplay turned on.

Steps I've tried:

  1. Restarting Xbox
  2. Uninstall/reinstall multiple times over multiple months
  3. Turn crossplay on/off and reboot the game
  4. Uninstalled the game 4 months ago. Reinstalled it last month, still had the same problem.
  5. Reboot/reset router and modem.

I've tried everything suggested to me and nothing has worked. Not sure why I can't find a game when crossplay is turned off. Just at a total loss and I want to be able to enjoy the game.

  • @Logan1616XBL I replied to your other post, but copy/pasting here for clarity:

    You almost guaranteed will not find a crossplay off lobby. The game defaults to crossplay as on and that is where the vast vast majority of (small) player-base is located and you won't get paired with anyone else unless they have specifically gone and also disabled crossplay on their systems/game.

  • This is outrageous its march of 2023, the game is now free on ps+ and on game pass yet there has been no implementation of CONSOLE ONLY CROSSPLAY. I can not enjoy this game playing against a bunch of keyboard advantages. If this isn't fixed by next patch I will have given up on this game.

    Yeah I gotta say call of duty did somehow a balanced gameplay between if it’s not perfect, but battlefield, mmmh….

    And it’s quite impossible to find a game for some reason

    I agree it's very anoying. It just works with Portal and sometimes with "friday night ..." mods. I also have cross-play of in BF2042 on PS5 and there it Works.
