Please give an option to turn off "console preference" when searching for games.
Myself and my friends are all cross platform players. We prefer having crossplay on at all times. We have a few players that tend to start playing first, and we are PS5. The game will automatically try to put us in PS5 only servers. This causes multiple problems for us that we find incredibly frustrating.
First off, we dont like this as a decision and would prefer to always play crossplay on.
Second issue, as soon as a PC/Xbox player tries to join our party, they are unable to because we are in a PS5 only server. This means we have to leave the server to squad up, or they have to wait until our game is over.
Third issue, and the most annoying. When the game is trying to find us a PS5 only server, it will often struggle to find a full game and put us in a PS5 server that is populated with bots. I never ever want bots in a match, especially when we could be in a full crossplay on server like we originally chose.
I realize this feature might be great for some people, but it's terrible for us. If you prefer as a dev team to keep the option to search console only first, please make it something we can toggle in settings. We never want to have to join these types of servers, we will always choose crossplay on at all times.
