Battlefield V ZA Servers

Hi EA/DICE,

Currently we have a huge crowd of South African gamers that are ready to play all night and all day, the problem we are currently experiencing is the amount of servers that are available to choose from.

Some days we have 1 or 2 and some days we have no servers available at all? We do not even have all the options to play different modes such as conquest and are sometimes limited to only TDM.

Can you please assist the masses here in SA that want to play BF5 but are reluctant because of the lack of SA servers that are join able.

BF1 provided is with more than 15 different game mode maps and modes and guys this side bought BF1 like crazy because of this.

We would love to spend more money supporting the franchise but currently servers are a huge issue and set back.

Speaking on behalf of all SA/Africa countries.

Hey @LockNLoad5753

The Community Manager for Battlefield recently addressed this:

Hopefully this will be sorted soon for you guys.

Thanks 🙂

Thanks for getting back to me bud.

However the issue I have is not directly related to firestorm but based on overall "South African" experience.

Literally when you go the the African Region on filters you might find a max of only 2 servers available if you are lucky across all game modes in Battlefield V....

Please if it is in your power to escalate this issue it would be excellent.

Our gamer database is so limited in SA due to the lack of servers.

It would be only beneficial for DICE/EA to have more servers and I can guarantee they will watch their customer base in south africa grow rapidly.

We are hugely frustrated and which for a quick resolve of this issue.

Thanks a mil.

Hi Support,

The servers in South Africa seem not to be working/filling with players. We also tried created a custom game server, but no dice.

Do you perhaps know if there is something greater at fault?

This is happening now on the 31st March, but yesterday 30 March there was a message that server was undergoing maintenance, and all the players were kicked?

Are there available staff to check out the SA servers please.

Kind regards

Hi guys,

Whats up with SA servers for BF V ? Apparently they’ve been canceled. Is this true? If it is I want a refund! I paid for a game which said there will be local servers....we play regularly and now they are just gone. Is this a technical issue or has DICE and EA rescinded our local servers for good?

Summarize your bug Since Monday night at between 21:00 and 21:45 the South African server crashed kicking everybody in the lobby and we were since then unable find a live sever for South africa since, even when we try to create a community server it will create it but the community server will have a high ping which means the server must have created in EU. We also tried to start a [DICE] server by match making, but we are just then joined with another EU server. Our community just starting coming up strong but this is hurting the community badly.

Don't know what Dice/EA problem is but this is terrible!

I would like to have a discussion about this. So hopefully we get an answer or at least some sort of explanation as to why. I for one will never support EA games again if this is how they treat their supporters. Everyone else in the world is working on support during the lockdowns and COVID-19 epidemic, and here we have this. Would be a sign of no humanity if you ask me. Everyone is doing their part to help keep people inside, and here we have this display. So im really hoping that this is just a server that crashed or something else that went wrong. 

At least I know why the servers have gone.

Have never in my life gone for a quick match have always selected the server. The idea that people play willing with a 200 ping is absurd. 

The next game a buy I doubt will he battlefield as to risk this crap of not being able to play. Bf3, 4, one and V and probably be my last.

Yuck now to cod
