Re: BF1 - Empty servers

Change your server browser filters to set the spaces to 'None' and when you refresh you will be shown full servers. You will have to queue, obviously, but you should find it easier to locate maps or the DLC you want to play.

    Got the same issue here - on PS4 (Europe)

    Can't launch any game in QuickMode. Sometimes it's starting but I'm the only one on the map.

    In most cases it's not even starting - 95%

    I think it has to do something with EA servers, I've check Titanfall2 yesterday and it was very laggy (matchmaking takes about 5-10 minutes !!)

    they should really fix it because for now it's unplayable O_o

    I've not looked at the filters in a long time, but if there is an option for premium servers uncheck that. In past BF games, BF4 in particular having that checked actually made it harder to find a server.

    I never recommend using quick match as it has a high chance of putting you in an empty server. Are you able to use the server browser at all or are you experiencing the same issue as the OP while using the server browser?

    @ragnarok013I've tried everything, ever server browser - and the result was the same, empty servers.

    I've called EA support and they do not know what the issue is and that it even exists :D (or they just sayin' this to get rid off me)

    they didn't help much, just some basic stuff to call my network provider and check if I have IPv4 configured and not IPv6 on modem - this did not help, I got IPv4 from the start.

    The thing I done was to reinstall whole content , I've placed my save with progress into PSN Cloud and remove whole BF1 from PS4 drive, then installed it again (over 70GB with updated - god damn !!), installed premium pass, and tried to play some games. Looked into server browser and only maps from standard edition were visible, I will check it today, maybe it's really connected with latest update.

    Did you also re-install the DLCs themselves at the same time you re-installed the game and season pass?

    BF1 is out of its supported lifecycle and DLC maps are the first to be unpopulated in any multiplayer game after the game's end of life.
