Matchmaking On PC Basically Not Functional For Me
Hey all. I'm having a major issue with matchmaking on BF1 PC. Despite there being an average of over 30,000 people playing the game at any given time, I can never find more than a dozen populated servers at a given time. Trying to quick match often either fails, connects to a European server with a terrible ping or starts a new game with just me in it. Operations always fail to matchmake. If I'm playing in a group with friends, I can never be the group leader because of the issues above. Also, I frequently get "an unknown error occurred" when trying to join on games other party members matchmake into. They don't have these issues or if they do, it's rare. As a Premium member, this is infuriating.
I've tried reinstalling the game and it hasn't helped. My Internet connection is 60/10 cable and has no issue with any other multiplayer games. Not that it should matter in this context but I'm also on a 6700K with 16GB of RAM, a GTX 1080 and RAID 0 SSDs. When I get into matches, it runs like butter but matchmaking is essentially broken for me.
I really need to get this resolved but have no idea what the cause is. If anyone can assist, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
Sorry to hear about that.
Have you also tried doing the other steps that I mentioned above, regarding finding Operations in the Server Browser instead of Matchmaking?
