South African Battlefield 6 Servers Overrun by Bots

I’ve been playing Battlefield 6 throughout the weekend from South Africa, and while the core gameplay is solid, the multiplayer experience has been frustrating — nearly every lobby is 80–90% bots, even during peak hours.

What’s especially strange is that during the beta, we had fully populated lobbies with real players here in SA. Now, post-launch, the same region is flooded with bots — despite what seems to be a healthy local player base.

I understand bots are meant to fill gaps, but when they dominate the experience in a region that can support full servers, it kills the vibe.

  • Please do something Devs, it’s really frustrating and makes me turn of the game after 1-2 games 

  • I live in South Africa and I bought BF6 yesterday via Steam, the game is awesome. Unfortunately for majority of us South Africans (and other  Africans as well), the player base is spread too thin over all the different game modes. This results in all may games consisting out of minimum 50% BOTS every time (some games even had up to 80% BOTS). I am buying and playing a PVP game, you will agree if I say I DONT WANT TO SEE a bot in my multiplayer lobbies. Unfortunately I had to refund the game after playing about 3 hours and not seeing any improvement on these lobbies (also keep in mind I played during peak gaming times in SA).  I BEG you guys to please consider giving the option to have SERVER preference (such as EU), and Im not talking about custom lobbies where guys play wierd game modes via the "Server Browser". If this option is added it would open up a whole new world for us gamers in SA (you can read the forums/socials, people want it!) and I would Immediately buy the game again.

    Same issue, i play from réunion island but go to the south african servers, full of bots...

    Can't even play team or squad deathmatch due to the lack of people on thoses servers.

     

    PLEASE EA FIX THE MATCHMAKING its so frustating to play against bots while there are many players
