    An update that may help people in some situations.

    I found that my Sabotage (Black Well) maps issue was related to VRAM usage.   The Nvidia app had optimized BF6 for balanced performance/quality and set 'Texture Quality' to 'overkill' - the highest setting.    My 3070 has 8GB of VRAM and the overall combination put me slightly over the 8GB VRAM ram seen in the graphics settings panel.

    When I reduced this to 'High' I no longer failed to load these maps when I tried to join solo.  I suspect that many times when people are 'left behind' they may just be hitting a similar problem like this due to bad luck of the map picked.  

    This did not fix all my problems with being left behind but it did improve it.

    The first time match making failure no longer happens.   

    I still see a random failures when we try to let the game auto-pick the next match.  This looks a bit different because your usually stuck at the score screen and the music and sounds from the new map maybe playing but you can't go anywhere.   I can 'sometimes' click on 'Join Game' from the party menu when I realize this has happened and it may let me in the game with everyone else.   In one instance I got a strange cryptic yellow error code at the bottom of the screen when I tried to do this but it still pulled me into the game. 

    BF6 really needs a log file that could detail what failed in these match loading cases.  I tried to find such a file but nothing stood out.

  • This is a huge issue for me and it has been happening since the beta.   When I am the one left behind I see all the party members stand up and the music starts playing like I am going to join the game.  Then after 10 seconds or so nothing.    I see no error messages at all.

    I bought the game via the PC EA App.  I have seen this happen with one other EA PC player but it is rare (1 out of 4 games).  I see this failure at a much higher failure rate when I tried to play with 3 people who are using Stream.    We try to exit back to the menu to 'try again' and then it can fail multiple times in a row.   After 3 times I usually just rage quit or go play by myself.

    I have a similar problem that can be reproduced trying to join a game by myself.    When the new 'east wood' map came out I could not join that map at all even solo.   After following some forum advice I removed the 'MP_Eastwood' files and did a 'repair'.   It now works.   However I can reproduce the same failure to join with the 'Sabotage' mode and the 'Blackwell' map.   I did an entire uninstall - reinstall hoping to fix that  but it still fails every time.   You can use the custom multiplayer search to see if this combination works for you.  I tried all the Sabotage maps and narrowed it down to 2 that never load.   (BlackWell and the Quarter one).

    These issues may not be related but it is odd that I am having both issues and the end result fails at the same place with no error messages.

    I see many forum posts about this same issue but it is still not listed on the 'known issues' list so I doubt we will get any fix soon.

    I experience the same issue. This has been a problem since the beta for my friend group.
