Unable to Find Duo Matches on Middle East / Dubai Servers

Hello everyone,

I have been playing Battlefield 6 since it launched, and I usually play Duo with my friend. We both play regularly. Previously, we used to find Duo matches easily every afternoon, usually on the Dubai or Middle East servers.

However, suddenly we stopped getting matches in the afternoon. Even the lobbies were not full — sometimes only 20/100 or 15/100 players. Because of that, we started playing at night, and at that time we were able to find matches.

But since the war started in the Middle East region, we have not been able to find any Duo matches at all. I am not the only one facing this issue — many other players are experiencing the same problem.

As you can see in the screenshot, the lobby has very few players, even though it is peak gaming time. Squad matches sometimes work, but Duo does not. Playing with random players at night is not the same experience.

So my question is: are the Dubai or Middle East servers inactive or dead? I have watched several streamers who play on EU servers, and they seem to find matches very quickly.

If anyone else is facing the same issue, please upvote this post so the developers can notice it.

Thank you.

    Yes, the only middle east server in Bahrain has been down since the war started. There's another thread, titled "Middle East server issues", ongoing highlighting this issue. Please keep it alive for EA to see and resolve.
