Hi. Can all the players trying to join a game on PS4 please add me on PSN. Username cliveartman. Maybe we can start our own games if we all join the same lobby or invite each other?

Are there people still playing because i tried finding games multiple times and would just join a empty server
Have only managed a few games on German Servers with 190ms lag..not much fun. Have not got a SA Server since January.....
Fix it PLEASE.
In Chile since yesterday its impossible to find matches on any game mode, right now I'm stuck at filling galactic assault on ps4 with brazil ping site and barely 4 people and trying to find all day and nothing in South America but chaning to US is ok but with a lot of lag. I have VTR Isp
The same in October of 2018 EA didn't even try to help us gamers from south africa , so we spent alot of money for a terrible laggy game join a Ireland server then start to lag or die when you enter combat what a sad story for us , EA doesn't care about us because they think we complain about small stuff meanwhile we are a massive group loving this game and the starwats Franchise but let down doesnt even describe it selling this game soon cant bare the tragedy
This isn't an issue isolated to South Africa but been going on everywhere since July.
We waited 4 weeks for a fix being told its because of a server ping issue.
It didn't fix it.
Waited another month.
Not fixed.
Hot fix comes out, doesn't address it.
For me I can get onto GA and that is all.
I don't mind bugs, they happen, but the lack of communication and absolutely zero help from EA is incredibly bad. It's certainly stopping me buying the new Battlefield as I have zero confidence that game will be any better.
EA Listen bloody closely. If I pay nearly 1 Grand of my hard earned local currency to buy a game I expect you to listen to user complaints. I've been trying for days to get a multiplayer game going on South African Servers and only find Empty lobbies. This is a bug. This never happened in SW Battlefront 1. There is a reason you have a terrible reputation as developers/publishing house - BECAUSE of issues like this. I see dozens of people complaining. You took our money and made promise the game will work - It doesn't! You are beholden to us to fix this ASAP. See the screenshot below for proof of perpetual empty game lobbies.
4 months I've had this issue.
FOUR MONTHS!!!!!!!!
AND NOTHING IN THE NEXT PATCH FOR IT!
Bump++
Please help us out, we are paid zero respect here. There are dozens of post here on this topic. It clearly is a bug, many of us have added proof and reached out to EA agents. We are not a rag tag bunch with a made up complaint. This is a real issue. If you multiply the amount of money spent amongst these patrons buying a broken game and complaining about the issue it becomes even far less trivial. The lack of support and feedback is reproachable. I say this again: this is why EA has a terrible reputation.
If you can find handles of other EA agents and mods to tag here, please go to Town with it. We should not be quiet on this. This is theft.
@Sledge217 I see you are online. Can you go onto multiplier with your server set to South Africa and enter a Galactic Assualt lobby to see if we can even see each other. We can do this to see how far the problem extends and whether this is truly just a lack of players issue (WHICH ALL OF US SERIOUSLY DOUBTS). Do the Halloween promo galactic assault on the main screen.
Good luck. Been trying to get an answer for 4 months with no luck. Sometimes I get a suggestion but it never works.
Things are looking a bit better after the update - still very few players in the lobbies BUT AT LEAST NOT PERPETUALLY EMPTY. This is vindicating, as it supports the theory that it most certainly was a bug and EA just sat back for months and did nothing. Still tough getting enough players for galactic assault
So the Ping is pretty damn terrible. 142ms is the new 'Default' ping site. They've removed the SA servers which I could get a ping of ~14ms on.
So at first being excited at now being able to get at leadt some multiplayer action going, I am actually pretty disappointed at this 'workaround' they've found.
One really can't play FPS games properly on Pings >100ms.
So we haven't really made any improvement. Still paid a small fortune for what is pretty much a pretty screensaver on your console.
To top it off, the only game modes you'll really find enough players on is Galactic Assault and Heroes Vs Villains, which are both fun (yet laggy due to ping), and is very limiting considering all the game modes available.
So once again: Attention EA - BUMP!!
