- Hi,
You always ask this question and disappear.
Being the community manager you should be active and helping people out.
This issue has been there for months now and have we heard anything from EA. Nope.
Why should i have to dig into filters. Why cant EA just make Quickmatch work as was before?
If EA is expecting to get people into BFV with this kind of attitude sorry but i am not buying it for more hassle oand frustration with joining unbalanced matches through manual filter settings. - Anonymous8 years agoYou totally expressed my words... I am very frustrated with EA servers.
I know. Sorry to bring you down. Although it is really EA/Dice that are doing it. BFV will be coming out soon and they are hyping the * out of it. I won't be pre ordering. After this experience, why would I? I am hoping that once BFV comes out and is established, that BF1, much like BF4 will become a bit less popular and there will more private/clan servers than Dice servers. This will make for a better online experience. Or at least that is the hope. BFV meanwhile will be good for awhile and then it too, will become like what BF1 is now.
EA/Dice have proven that they just don't care about these issues which tarnish their reputation and make potential customers for future products angry and frustrated. They must be under the mistaken impression that the gaming community will take this kind of nonsense. And yet, keep buying their next product. Unbalanced servers (where one team may have up to a squad or more players), lack of choices for servers (All seem to be either full with queues waiting or barren with no players joining). Or, finding a server with player slots available, but then you join to find it is either unbalanced or the team you were assigned to is getting *. Does this sound like fun to anybody? Why would I buy yet another WWII shooter and go through the same, lousy, frustrating online experience? I am turning to Fortnite. Which even the free BR is a better online experience than what EA/Dice now offer. Even BF4 (which used to a very good online experience) has now inherited the same issues that we see in BF1. Don't even waste your time trying to get into a game of "Incursions". The matchmaking process there is total BS. It will tell you that you will have to wait up to 5 minutes for a match to be found. My experience is that you have to wait at least twice that long. So what we can deduce from these, real time experiences is that EA/Dice know about the issue. But choose not to do anything meaningful about it. I have seen messages in BF1, now and again that auto balancing is taking place. But it doesn't. The player count remains out of balance and the team with the most players will almost always win the match. What you can do is vote with your wallet and not buy BFV. That would send a message to EA/Dice...... maybe.
A side note: I love how this forum is censored but anything can be chatted in BF1. Racist, profane slurs and just about any language is fine there. But here in the forums censorship rules. Hypocrisy at best.....

Same question
Its 10/15/18 and still having the same issue. No servers!! 😠 I thought maybe buying the expansion would help with newer servers, but it seems im gonna have to request a refund since i cant access the media i purchased. Usually when people pay for something they expect something in return. Thanks for nothing EA!!

We had an issue last night @Lahunter360, that should have been solved by now. Can you confirm that you dont see any server and what filter settings are you seeing?

The issue of not being able to find servers to play on is still an ongoing, everyday issue. Regardless of whatever "issue" there was last night. I live on the East Coast. There used to be lots of Conquest servers to choose from. Now, most are full with queues waiting to get in (and being a "premium" level doesn't seem worth anything"}. Either full with anywhere between 1 to 8 in the queue or the servers are just about empty with 1 or 2 players "sitting" on the server waiting for other players to join. Also, the rise in DDOS attacks lately rendering the game unplayable are annoying and frustrating as well. Why can't EA/Dice introduce some kind of server load balancing across servers? All those people waiting in queues could be re-directed to another server with the same map (Conquest for my example as that is the mode I play the most). I don't see any relief for this persistent, day in day out issue.

Can't find players. Used to play all the time when this game came out and then there was an update. Gave up for a few months and updated the game this week. Still the same issue. Put into empty room every time. No servers even after resetting all filters. I'm an IT professional so I thought I could figure out how to join a game? If there is a fix for this (it's been a full year since this started for my PC) I would like to know.
