[PC] Can't find populated servers

I recently bought Battlefield 1 (Yes, I know 2019..) and I'm unable to find any populated servers across the country (Australia) or across the world. Initially, I tried playing with server search filters but nothing... Later on, I contacted EA help regarding this, they gave me a few general fixes including DNS resetting, changing IPv, NAT & UPnP settings but nothing seems to help at all. The very best I got after doing all these settings were empty servers.

    @Nish_141,

    Unfortunately there isn't a way to reduce the Ping, if you're trying to connect to EU or NA, since they're Overseas Servers.

    I would keep checking the Servers though, it might pick up more on the Weekends.

    Hey @Nish_141

    I did do a Search, and was able to find DICE Official Servers, and a Community Server that usually always has people playing.

    If you go to Slots, and check everything except Spectator, and choose Conquest/Domination for the Game Mode, these Servers should pop up for you.

    Unfortunately when I searched, mostly all the DICE Servers were empty, but the Community Server had 33 people.

    Hey @iluminatethesky,

    Thank you for your response, Actually, that's the thing, I was able to find the same server that you found. there seem to be only 3 to 4 active servers which only play on conquest mode. (This is after 2 weeks of observation) I can't find any other servers playing different game modes like operations, rush, etc.

    You're welcome 🙂

    And yeah, it seems as though Conquest is the "popular" game mode in Battlefield 1.

    I'm not sure what your Ping would look like if you tried to connect to EU Servers, but you might be able to find something there.

    Unfortunately, I don't think there's a lot of active Servers for Rush or Operations.

    Hello @iluminatethesky,

    Thanks again,

    I tried connecting to EU or NA servers but the ping is in the range of 220 to 350.

    Too high. 

    Any suggestions to reduce it?
