Re: 4 player splitscreen multiplayer BFN

@Salva237I do it on PS4 all the time pro+non pro and non pro + non Pro and the way we get it to work is do both split screen first and then link up. 

Edit. I’ve done it like this with 3 PS4’s all split screen so six of us were all linked up

  • Hi,

    we tried it a lot of times. But it doesn`t work. We are so sad about this. We love to play GW2 and now we want to play BFN.

    With GW2 we have no problems.

    first we do splitscreen and then send the invitation.

    I don`t understant why it is so difficult to adapt this from GW2.

    Hope anyone have an idea. Maybe some screenshots from tips.

    regards

  • Hi

    we tried it again, After update 1.6 but without success. 3 Player is working without Problems.

    if i do splitscreen first and Then the other part too, then there is written: closed group. I cant send any invitation.

    how can i contact EA?

    they have to explain me, how we can play together.

    at least: GW2 the server are still full

    @Salva237What about your group privacy settings? Invite only? Friends only? You could set it to open and retry.

    Edit: Did you post in the Technical Issues section? 

  • @Salva237  I'm a common split-screener, but don't play with 4 people, rather myself and my brother, and am on Xbox One. If this isn't working for you and 4 people can't join, I can suggest a few things for you to hopefully help you!

    • You could try posting this issue in Technical Issues if not already done, as @ippig  mentioned!
    • Make sure everyone who's playing has PlayStation Plus (is that what it's called on PlayStation?). If someone doesn't have it, they probably won't be able to join!
    • Check your console's settings! Check to see if there's a setting preventing one of your players from playing online or whatnot!
    • Check your in-game BfN settings to see if there's anything preventing your fourth player from joining!

    That's all I can suggest for now, and I hope that it will help you!

    @Salva237 Like ippig said this is your privacy settings if you change them you should be good to go.

    @Salva237 And about the Playstation plus thing if whoever has Playstation plus is playing on one PS4 set the other PS4 as there prime PS4 and all 4 of you will be able to play at once. Hope this helps.
  • Hi,

    if i play alone, the group private settings are open for everyone.

    if i start splitscreen, the settings changed from open to close.

    Nevertheless i can add a friend. There a 2 slots free right?

    If my friend is alone, not in the splitscreen it also works. But if he is in splitscreen mode, it doesn`t work.

    Both have valid ps4 plus membership. This is not the problem. With GW2 works great. dont know why should this be different

    Can someone share his settings, where it works ?

    Hi @Salva237, we've already talked about your issue in the German forum. Sorry to hear that your problem still exists.
    Yes, you are right. Up to 4 players can be in one group online. I've never played splitscreen because I'm on PC. So I don't know if there are some limits regarding the number of players when playing in splitscreen. But I'm pretty sure users like @Meadoz can help you.
    By the way I can't open your attached picture. Good luck to you!

    @Salva237Please check the other players setting the other two people who are playing (one on each PS4) need to have the same setting as you.

  • Hi,

    so i tried now with another player, but also without success.

    Now i have excluded the router and maybe the config.

    Can someone try it also pls ?

    what does it mean an red X on the second player ?

    if i start the splitscreen, i`m directly in a closed group. Why ?

    It`s a pity such a game like this didn`t do anything right from the beginning.

    there should be more players in the new game than in GW2.

    regards

    Salvatore
