    Hello EU player 🙂 acoording to what u wrote, it could be that u have clicked the number of players u want in a server. As u said in the server list, u also have the possibility of choosing map, mode, etc and the number of players. check that pls. Good luck 🙂

    Likely related to the server botting issue plaguing the server browser since at least June 2018.

    Through the use of a plugin installed through an extension called Better Battlelog, or by viewing the server info player list in the browser Battlelog, you can see what the true player count of a server is. There's now way to do either of those things in the in-game browser.

    @MonsterRager

    Try having no options marked in the # of slots available section.  The server browser has been picky for a long time and they never fixed it.  Make sure you pay attention to the number of players currently on the server.

    However, sometimes this can be misleading on BF4.  There are some communities that run servers that have a type of "bot network" of their PCs that will auto-join and leave their server continuously, so the server browser will show a higher number.  I know it is a BS tactic and has pissed me off multiple times when looking for servers.  This may be a problem you have been running into.
