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
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.
likely two different issues
That seems odd if you are in different locations. My issue is specifically playing using the same IP address in the same house. Hope you get yours sorted though
Yes yes, I’ve also been at this for decades bud hence I’m now playing online with my kids. The fact is no other multiplayer game we’ve all played (and there has been lots) has had this issue. A huge company like EA having this issue is ridiculous. End of story
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)
I'm having the same issue with a friend of mine (I'm uk and he's ireland). We've had to give up on playing the game and duos because only one of us can get into a game while other is on the squad screen.
It's an absolute joke that this hasn't been fixed! We cannot play the game.
Having the same issue here, same house. Did you find a fix for it? It was working fine in the past couple of days
This is happening with me too though. Not sharing internet, different accounts. Duos is just bugged from what I've seen.
"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.
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
