Stop splitting up servers and filling with bots!

This is a significant issue at what seems to be very specific times across multiple smaller regions. OCE and parts of EU are known to be affected.

The game essentially stops matchmaking once both teams reach 24/32 players and fills the remaining 8 slots on each side with bots, so 25% of these lobbies are bots - and you can absolutely feel it when you are on a 20 kill streak. It is normally a sign for me to log off for the night.

The real kicker here is there is absolutely the playercount to sustain full lobbies. I have tested this, and got into 6 separate games one evening all filled ro 48/64 players with 16 bots. Those lobbies didn't need to be 6 separate lobbies, the could have been four full games with one half full game, which most players would have no issue with waiting to matchmake.

I am baffled by DICE's decision to put bots back into this game following on from 2042. They are braindead and kill the energy of tense large scale combat. 

This has been discussed but it seems DICE is not interested in commenting:

Just remove them. 

Also, fix the DXGI errors.... it's riduclous

  • For my opinion, you love playing with human. I love playing with bots, it's not wrong for me to enjoy my game on my own way. Moreover, bots is just backfill to wait another people in normal match. In portal, some players like me want to have private time with bots. I think DICE should put bots back, it's not that hard. Portal deleted Xp with bot match. That can be solution for xp farm. Some players bought Battlefield 6 only for bots. That is what we deseved

    Asian Servers have the same issue! I mean, it's easier to play with bots, but I didn't buy the game to play with bots lol, it just makes the matches feel less natural and overall less enjoyable. Devs seriously need to look into this and fix it.

  • Yes and no, TBH I've played about 600h of 2042 and seen in OCE that games were impossible to even find, so many times.

    I'd rather this stays on. The matches tend to fill up with players within 8 mins or less. At night, and earlier in the day, you won't have a match without this feature. Bots are essential to our region and the game's success, hence the outcry about no bots in portal - because now we can't get custom servers started with custom maps.....

    It's the same situation in my area.
    The Battlefield franchise's main game concept was 64-player battles against other humans, but even that has been lost in this game.
    I am truly shocked that they sold such a fake as the Battlefield franchise and caused such disappointment to consumers.
    The developers have continued to ignore this issue and appear to have no intention of improving it.
    The last thing I can do is to avoid buying any other EA games, any future installments in the Battlefield franchise, and any future games involving the producer and director of this game.

    They really need to add bots back to portal and make traditional lobbies for people who are here for a classic battlefield experience

    Not really. I can server hop between multiple full lobbies at 2am AEST without waiting for queues. They are all filled to 48/64. I literally said I saw 6 full lobbies. That is 288 real players divided into six lobbies. It could have been 4.5 lobbies.

    I keep seeing these posts, and wonder how people are finding bot games.  I'd love some chill bot games.  All mine are full of pesky humans, half of them hardcore gamers sent to farm me :P

  • So if your on console you have a chance to play with bots in official games. You might have to disable cross play Well crap Thats exactly what us PC dads wanted. Sounds like Xbox and PS5 players got the full version of the game instead of PC players. I want the ability to turn off cross play on pc. If Helldivers can do it EA should be able to as well.
