BF6 Portal - Unable to host experiences

Please, EA, reconsider deleting persistent servers when they're empty and locked by a password, especially if their name is "XP farm."

Some players are trying to create new experiences and host their own servers, only to find it quite impossible due to these types of servers exceeding the maximum quota available. I don't have anything against players wanting to play against bots, but it makes zero sense to open Portal in-game and see the first 20 servers shown being all a copy of the same XP bot farm, and all of them are empty (0 players) and most of them locked down by a password, or just grant one slot available for each person who owns the game. Because I paid to be able to play and create new maps and experiences in Portal, but it's impossible. Yesterday it took me 37 minutes to be able to host a server (yes, 37 minutes clicking on the Host button with nonstop) and after a few matches, I was kicked out to the main menu and the server was closed.

  • I am in the same boat as you, it's utterly ridiculous. We all paid for this game and can't even use a feature that was promised and part of the game. Some lobbies are duplicated, you enter and you get spawn killed soon as you enter and also re=spawn by explosions, like wtf? I only want to host a non persistent server and I can't even do that, even sitting there which feels like forever, constantly pressed X on host. EA seriously need to fix and sort this out.

  • Yup same issue here, every time i want to try out my portal creation and click host, it just returns with an error about exceeded quota and it cant. I thought this feature was a pro feature? If so that is something paid for that we are unable to use, in essence your product you marketed and sold is not what you are stating it is because i havent been able to use this specific feature at all since goin pro so i feel a bit scammed in a sense. Oh and if you didnt know apparently this is a regulated market, pfft righto.
