Matchmaking still broken, can hardly play the game (for the 32th time)

Matchmaking still keeps sending me to dead empty servers or servers with a couple of guys that NEVER gets filled up. Tried using default settings, everything. Still can hardly play this game.

Only time it >SOMETIMES< works is when I go to another server that has 160+ worth of ping and its a horrible stuttering/ruberbanding/laggy experience.

Holy heck it has been six months and this issue is STILL going on!

    Does this still happen if you go to your settings/options menu and change the server ping site one spot to the left or right? We know it can be disappointing to experience that after waiting for a game to load and know changing the ping site can help get around this.

    Hey @EA_Blueberry

    Oh my god! How many threads and posts must there be for you guys to realise there is a major problem!!!

    There is literally tons of people complaining about constant empty servers. It's been ongoing since June! For the first three months we were told "Oh its a Ping issue, fix coming" Well that didn't fix it. Then it was "Oh that's matchmaking" Well that didn't fix it either. 

    Australia and South Africa in particular have been complaining about constant Empty servers and the only response is "Oh change your ping site" or "Delete your settings file" 

    THESE DO NOT WORK!!!! STILL CAN'T PLAY!!

    Have not been able to play extraction or Strike for 6 months! Been stuck on Galatic Assault and that's it!!! There are dozens of threads on it. One of your staff even closed it as resolved when NOBODY SAID IT WAS RESOLVED. 

    PLEASE PLEASE PLASE DO SOMETHING!! I pre-ordered the stupid deluxe edition of this game and it has not worked for half the time I've owned it.

    @EA_Blueberrydid you even read my post?

    its written pretty clearly that, yes, I obviously tried changing ping sites. Its. Written. Right. Over. There.

    Thanks for getting back @Nitro747400

    When I originally read your post I wasn't 100% sure if you meant changing the server ping sites or whether you were just in games that had over 160 ping. 

    What about right-clicking SWBFII in Origin and selecting repair or reinstalling the game? I know that's not ideal but if you don't intended on playing for a few hours that is worth a shot.

    @EA_Blueberryyes, I already tried that, asking me this is like those technical support people who asks if you tried turning the computer off and on again... For how long are you people ordered to tell your customers to do the same thing that clearly doesn't work?

    Also, now I can't even join a match using any of the servers, even the one that at least worked always constantly throw me in the same match with the same two guys forever waiting for a game.

    Hey @Nitro747400

    Can you give me a little bit more info? 

    • Are you on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, or PC?
    • Do you play on a WiFi connection or Ethernet cable?
    • What is your NAT type if you're playing on console.
    • Have you tried opening up ports for SWBFII? http://bit.ly/Open_Ports
    • Are you playing from home or a university/business?

    I know technical issues can get aggravating at times, but we're here to help.

    If its a port issue why would the levels work on other servers (sometimes) and just had suddenly stopped working? Also if it's a port problem why does GA work but no other levels?

    And why were those levels all working fine then stopped working after an update?
    Not being argumentative but it's not making any sense.
