Need serious help regarding Battlefield 1

Hey everyone,

I, along with around 8-9 of my friends, regularly play Battlefield 1. However, we face a very big issue: we only get good ping on Middle East servers.

The problem is that while there are some Middle East servers available, they have the preround requirement enabled , meaning the game doesn't actually start until 10 players are in the server.

Most of the time, these servers stay empty because no one can populate them alone. Even if a few players join, the game won't begin, which leads to people leaving again. It's a vicious cycle.

we believe that disabling the preround requirement , so that even a single player can start the match , would help revive activity on these servers. It would allow smaller groups (like ours) to enjoy the game with good ping instead of being forced to play on 170+ ping servers elsewhere.

This small change could make a big difference for the Middle East community still passionate about BF1.

If anyone knows how to directly reach EA or server admins, or if there's an official way to submit this request, please let me know. Any help would be appreciated!

    So it doesnt really make sense that there are servers of middle east just sitting there with 0 players everday. And if farming is an issue, then these (enable no preround) servers shouldnt exist from the get go. But still there are alot of servers still out there that are empty, have no preround, and can start by one player and there are alot of them.

    I mean i get it, its not in development cycle etc, but bf1 is still putting out good numbers as in playerbase, if servers to which my community/me can get good ping are just live and sitting idle till the game dies, then all the resources being put to run those servers is useless.

    I am just trying to get only one setting to get disabled like there are many servers in the EU region and other region as well. I just think that its really weird that these low ping servers are just there while i have to play on 150+ ping everyday.
    Also, getting a stable internet connection is not a proper possibility for me or anyone as it depends upon the region 💀

  • Hello opplye,

    Battlefield 1 concluded its development cycle a long time ago, so no further changes will be made to the game. Even if it were still in development, allowing matches to start with just one player would be a poor decision, as it would make stat farming significantly easier.

    If you have a good ping in the Middle East, you should also get a stable connection on Asian and EU servers.
