Impossible To Play As Russia
Hi, i bought the game 3 days ago and i started playing it. I played against real players and against bots and i have no idea why, the game always put me in US Faction, never in the Russia one. I saw that multiple people had the same problem but it still occurs, i did everything, reinstall the game, clean the cache etc and the game always put me in US team. The only way to play Russia is through Portal but there is too much limitations, the worst 2 are that you need to wait "30 mins" (one round) to play as Russia and the second one is that you always start with 2-3 bots less than the other team. How a 60€ game can be as broken as that, it renders 1 faction completely useless since the only way to play it is in Portal but with a lot of limitations. Because yeah, in Portal to get "Moderate XP", you need to change, only the maps, gamemode and "PVP AI", if you enable the "Squad Mix" to fix the balance, the game will switch to "Restricted". The conquest "Solo/Coop" has the "Squad Mix" parameter enabled and you still get "Moderate XP" which again, is completely illogical. I don't know how i can send an email to the developpers directly, i already contacted the support that said that they will investigate but i'm not sure since that bug is still occuring since 3 or 4 months, maybe more.
Did anyone at DICE actually test Conquest matchmaking in 2025?
Weapon and specialist progression in Battlefield 2042 is fine up to Tier 3 because it can be done against bots. After that, you are forced into PvP matchmaking. The problem is that matchmaking barely works anymore. Not only Conquest, but even Breakthrough often fails to start. You wait for a long time, a few players join, then leave, and the lobby dies again. It genuinely feels like the minimum player requirement is being kept artificially high to reduce server usage in an already low-population game. Why can’t matches start with as few as two players, the same way bot matches work? People who don’t want to wait would actually get into games faster, and those who stay would at least be able to play instead of staring at a matchmaking screen. At this point, preventing people from playing the game they already own feels more damaging than any balance concern. I really hope this isn’t another case of quietly pulling the plug on a dying player base. It may already be late — but actively restricting matchmaking is not how you keep what little life this game still has.battlefield 2042 playlists
I was just wondering not sure why they don't already other than possibly competitive boosting can we get rush as an al time playlist its pretty rare that its available ppl in the portal browser only play against bots there's never really any servers hosting rush game modes.
We need new players , make game free to play for this christmas.
With many major multiplayer titles going free-to-play during the holiday season, this Christmas feels like the perfect opportunity for Battlefield 2042 to do the same. Making the game F2P—even temporarily—would bring in a huge wave of new players, help populate servers across all regions, and give the game a second life when player numbers are clearly struggling. The core gameplay has improved a lot since launch, and a free-to-play period would allow new players to experience that firsthand, rebuild the community, and potentially convert them into long-term players through cosmetics and future content. The peak player count goes to 2500-3000 only , which is a shame for a game franchise like battlefield , please make it free to play for this christmas , so it can boost player count.
Will Future 2042 be able to reduce its game size?
Both Hell Divers 2 and The Crew 2 have managed to shrink their game size by more than half, while Battlefield 2042 is even larger than two BF6 combined.And after separating from Warzone, the size of COD has also shrunk significantly. I think it's appropriate to compress the game size moderately, as there will be more and more game updates in the future for bf6. Using 2042 as a test case for compression is an excellent choice.🧐
Urgent Concerns Regarding Cronus Zen and Cheating on EU Servers (PlayStation)
Dear EA Representatives, I am writing as a dedicated player who has been playing your game for nearly three years. I’d like to express my growing frustration regarding the rampant increase in cheaters, particularly those using the Cronus Zen device. This device is being widely used, especially on PlayStation servers in Europe, and it is severely damaging the experience for new players. Many newcomers, after being repeatedly killed by cheaters using Cronus Zen, simply give up and quit the game — understandably discouraged by such an unfair environment. This not only harms the current player base but also prevents the growth of a game that already has a limited community. Despite reporting around 14 players who were clearly using Cronus Zen, all of my reports have been closed without any follow-up or clear action. It makes me wonder — is using Cronus Zen now the only way to compete in this game? I am more than willing to provide usernames of players using this device on European servers. Some of them are even streaming themselves using Cronus Zen live on popular video platforms, clearly showing how they fire without recoil to gain an unfair advantage and attract followers through cheating. If you wish, I can also share links to these players and their streams with your team. Frankly, this situation has made me lose the motivation to play. It’s frustrating to see blatant cheating go unchecked, while legitimate players are pushed away. Do you have any plans to take serious action against Cronus Zen users? Will there be stronger enforcement going forward? I also understand a new game is in development. However, many of us fear that this issue will carry over unless there are major improvements to anti-cheat systems. Lastly, I want to highlight the current state of European servers, especially on PlayStation. During the daytime, it's extremely difficult to find matches — a clear sign of player base decline. Are there any plans to address this? This game still has great potential, but without action and transparency, it may not survive much longer. Sincerely,
