Cant host games with bots in Portal

I’m using Portal for BF6.
I select Conquest and enable Fill with Bots.
I start the server alone, but it only fills 12 bots in the game and it wont start beacuse it need 20 players.

I just want to fly some helicopter beacuse getting a heli in a live a full time job beacuse they are camped 24/7. Its been several months since the game has been realeased and there is still no fix which is an absolute disgrace considering they charge premium for the game and its not even working properly. Please fix asap.

  • Hi VinbazZz​,

    Unfortunately, that's intended at the moment as it was a change made shortly after release. I'm personally hoping that Dice made solo PVE possible again, like it was at launch, but they haven't released any information about it recently. 

    You can still play solo against AI using custom games. I'm hopeless at making these, but this post from Ty_Ger07 has some codes you can use: 

    Unique Maps and Portal Love | EA Forums - 12909480 

    .There are restrictions with these, though, I believe, but at least you can play solo. 

  • Really sucks they took out being able to play with only bots because of all of these xp farmers. Just give us what BF2042 did with its portal with partial XP with full bots in conquest and other modes

  • I bought the disc version and played for about 2 weeks.  Occasionaly online but I'm 56 and often get owned by faster younger players.  I like to play bots and it was fine.  Think the bots in BF6 are worse than the ones in BF2042 which I liked playing in advanced bot mode.  BF6 bots aren't as good but enough for me to have a mess around without trying too hard and gave me my short relaxing fix after a day at work. Sadly this only lasted about 2 weeks and they stopped the ability to host your own server.  Thanks EA.  Never mind I found Arc Raiders and am super into that.  I play that online vs PVPVE only in solos but most people are friendly and just trying to do their quests.  You do come up against the odd person who wants to shoot you but it's great fun with the proximity chat.  I deleted my BF6 server experiences and created new ones but still can't get it working.  I've not even played the new maps.  They lost me as a customer.  Played BF1942 for over 7 years in Forgotten Hope clans back in the day with the Forgotten Honor and custom maps every week.   Played other BF games but BF1 is my favourite. I'm not overly keen on Modern Warfare settings and prefer WWII but BF5 was a complete disaster.  I was soooo looking forward to that and badly felt let down.  No bot modes and it only started getting a bit better near the end then they stopped support.  EA have lost their main fan base as BF6 tried to capture the COD strays and it hasn't worked.  Their online player base has plummeted, as once again they refuse to listen to what their regular fanbase want's in a BF game.  Not small mazy maps and not drip fed content.  When you play these maps constantly, they get boring after a while and people move onto other things until there's new maps released and the cycle continues.  Anyway  enough of my disappointment ... I had high hopes for BF6 as they made all the right noises and promoted it properly this time (cough cough, BF5).  However in the end they just delivered a decent COD clone with BF elements.
