Hi,
we have seperate EA accounts and seperate PC’s. Each time we party and try to join a duos game, only one of us goes through to the game and the other one looks like it’s about to load in but then stays in the lobby.
Any reason why this is happening or how to fix it please? Very annoying, just trying to play some games with my son. We’ve never experienced this issue with any other multiplayer game.
Thanks
Since you're both using the same router (I'm assuming), you're both showing the same IP address to the EA servers. This can be problematic.
One of the following may fix your issue.
Firstly, thank you for your response. UPnP is already on. ISP recently changed us to dynamic IP’s due to severe drop out issues from tempting in to work and other some other games. So I can’t go back to static.
secondly we’ve never had this issue with other games we’ve played, we’ve even had 4 people in the same party/game with no issue. Seems bizzare we would have to use a vpn just to play the same game. Fortnite overwatch etc have not had these issues. Would not expect an issue like this with a AAA title
"we’ve never had this issue with other games we’ve played"
A common phrase in gaming forums, which makes those of us who have been at this for decades chuckle. Newer games almost always push the barriers and cause us to update gear and configurations.
The architecture of your others games, including how they handle server load balancing, could be different than what we're seeing with BF6. I can't say for sure, because I haven't seen the detailed architecture.
You can subscribe to a VPN service very cheaply to see if that changes anything.
Having the same issue here, same house. Did you find a fix for it? It was working fine in the past couple of days
Their offical response was me to basically get a VPN as the best solution. There’s some other convoluted technical solutions but it was insane to even do all that. They said it’s how their network code is, which is incredible because no other multiplayer game we’ve played has had this issue (and we’ve played lots)
Yes, this is what I said earlier.
I'm not suggesting it's good or bad - just that the architectures are different and comparing to other games is futile. EA may have made this architecture choice for better performance - don't know.
