BF4 Rented Server not showing up in server browser.
- 5 years ago
Hi @ILUVSPEED ,
Welcome to the world of EA server renters! :o)
You need as server owner/admin to start up your server and have an active admin on it before it becomes visible to other players in the Server Browser for them to join at that 'empty stage'.
And then the next thing you need to understand:
There are less and less players around these days for an 'old but still great' game like BF4.
So just because you rent a server does not mean that you have hundreds or players online who just are ready to jump on and play on your server. They have plenty of other great alternatives, to go and get their daily fix of BF4 gaming. So like it or not, but its in your end and up to you to attract those players to make them come to your server!
I know many great servers on these days, that have been great for many years and who have 20k+ favorites, and still many days they are not filling up or they are even standing still, all empty from players.
Even years back when you had 2-3 times more players globally on the BF4 game, it still often took many months after you started up a new server until it started to fill up for the first time. And that is perfectly normal, as you need to grow the knowledge of your server over time, as most players typically stay with just playing on a handful of servers they already have marked as their favorites. So they rarely use the server browser and even less the quick-match function to join a server.
Best of luck with it !
