Battlefield 1: in the name of the tsar

Hi, I recently bought the premium pass and have downloaded all of the map packs however I have had problems with getting into a game on the ‘in the name of the tsar’ maps. The maps themselves load up but I’m the only player in there, this happens on every game mode involving these maps and no other map or map pack seems to have this problem. I have spoken to 3 EA advisors on their chat and have had an email sent to me with multiple suggestions on how to fix this, none of which have worked. Any idea on what can be done?

    @CJW31098 well, i wouldn't be surprised if they will repopulate this year. Before the launch of BF1, EA gave some DLC's for BF4 and Hardline which brought new players on the DLC maps. As we might have a new BF game this year, EA might do another promo, which will bring some new life to the DLC map (most people went with the standard BF1 edition, which means that there weren't as many players on the DLC map as we wanted to). 

    It happened at the launch of each DLC: people would abandon the old maps until they get bored of the new ones. Thing is that with the Mixed maps, now you can have all the DLC maps in the roation (if you have the DLC). But sometimes, i do wish to be able to play a specific DLC. 

    They Shall Not Pass DLC is given for free now, which is a good thing for me, as it brings new players on those maps. And i do like those maps. Hopefully, they will do the same for other DLC's, too, allowing the standard players to come and play on the DLC maps. 

    I think that DLC are separating the player base and a better approach would have been for everyone to get the same content, while EA would get money from skins and such (cosmetic stuff).

    @CJW31098 Most people moved either on the Apocalypse maps or are playing the new Mixed servers. The In The Name of the Tsar maps weren't quite popular, as many of them are open maps that favor the scout class. You can see some people on those in the evening or in the week-ends, but otherwise, they are ghost town.

    P.S.: use the server browser to check if there are any servers with the DLC up (look for the servers with [TSAR] in name or [Mixed]

    Thank you for your help, bit of a pain for someone like me who has recently started playing again and hasn’t experienced all the maps yet. More than likely won’t find them maps unless I’m on conquest with mixed then. Would have been easier if one of the advisors had mentioned this haha.

    Thanks for your help, however over the last few days I’ve been playing on mixed conquest like you said but now I am unable to find a game on that also, like before it puts me in a server by myself. Any idea what the issue may be or how to prevent this from happening?
