When on the same internet connection, my wife and I both play pc on steam.
Ports are opened on the router for all normal steam ports.
When inviting her, she shows up in my lobby, shows at the lobby screen standing there, I hit find match, it pops up for her I started match making.
Our characters will stand up like were going in.
Then one of us one connect at all while the other gets in game.

Hi everyone. We’d like to investigate the issues where a party doesn’t fully join the next match (e.g., “waiting for party leader,” one player stuck on the end-of-round screen, or only some members loading in). To help with our review, please include the info below when you reply.
- Platform: (PC-EA app/Steam/ Xbox Series X|S / PS5)
- Gamertag/Username:
- Timestamp with timezone:
- Party size & roles: (# of players, who was party leader)
- Game modes and map :
- What exactly happened: (exact on-screen message: “waiting for party leader”, “joining game…”, etc.)
Thanks for your patience and for helping us investigate!
My brother and I are unable to consistently join the same match when playing Battlefield 6 together. After creating a party and starting a game, only one of us successfully joins the match while the other remains in the lobby screen (character standing idle).
We are both playing from the same household on the same internet connection. There doesn’t appear to be a consistent pattern as to which player connects successfully — sometimes one of us gets in, sometimes the other.
Occasionally, we have been able to play a match together if one player stays in the lobby and joins the other’s session after matchmaking begins, but this only works sporadically.
Troubleshooting Performed:
Verified both systems have Open NAT
Enabled and disabled UPnP for testing
Manually forwarded all required ports
Split port forwarding between the two PCs
Checked for Double NAT (none detected)
Despite these steps, the issue persists.
