Years ago I created quite a big platoon but all members stopped playing eventually and I wanted to disband it. In order to do so I have to kick all members so that's what I tried. But there is one left that I cannot kick (I press "kick" and nothing happens). It says his name is "Unknown" and his profile link goes to https://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/user/Unknown/

It seems it has been fixed. The unknown player suddenly got a proper name and a profile and I was able to kick him. I just disbanded the platoon 🙂

Can't disband a platoon because of "Unknown" player

Hi @Mido_2137 ,
Appear you have a problem with a ghost player left behind...
But now since you want to disband the platoon anyway, then you can just eradicate it and then leave it yourself, and you would be done with it:
Promote the "Unknown Player" to platoon co-founder.
Edit the platoon name, so its scrambled beyond recognition.
Press the button to leave the platoon yourself.
Done!

I tried that but I don't have the option to leave my platoon (yes, I promoted the unknown player to a co-founder).

Hi @Mido_2137 ,
What message do you then get if you choose the "Disband" command from your menu choice there?
That is normally the command you utilize to stop the platoon from being registered.

OK @Mido_2137 ,
Do you have the option to denote yourself from the founder position, now that you have promoted that "Unknown" to founder level?
Or maybe this is a stupid catch-22 situation you are in, as that "Unknown" ghost player profile is needed to be active and to do that? :o)
