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.
Same here, two PCs in the same household - I'd like to add that we consistently had this same issue with 2042, but have it WITH LITERALLY NO OTHER GAME. It's almost certainly related to their anti-cheat, I'd guess. Maybe a hand, EA?
As I’ve said before - I don’t believe it’s anything to do with being in the same household. I run a clan and we get this every other match with people from all over.
