I think all these ppl complaining are in the few dead areas or they need to reset they’re search parameters. EU, US East and West servers are fine, but yes not ever mode is possible. Operations campaign, Conquest, and TDM servers in the areas I mentioned are still populated!
You don’t want to display empty servers in the browser. It will hide many of the full ones. On the PC, the browser will show only up to 100 servers. Not sure if it’s the same on PS4. Use your Filters and under Free Slots, choose everything accept All and Spectator. It will only show populated servers.
This is unequivocally the absoluteWORST piece of advice you could EVER give to someone who is having trouble finding matches. You might as well just tell them to outright uninstall the game.
Besides, how are new people supposed to join or discover your servers if you instruct them to not “bother (to) look for servers”? Or is it a case of, “don’t bother looking for servers unless if it is one of our servers which in that case, please do look for servers”?
IDk what’'s going on PC or Xbox but on PS4 there are TONS of servers for Operations alone which is what I mostly play and the servers are packed and I have a hard time finding a server with a slot open.
Gonna play more Verdun and Ft. tn when i get back from work for sure.
I would like it if they just made the DLC maps free so I could play more modes on more maps. Personal I think even when you set the server browser search function right it still doesn’t bring up all available games.
If it’s interested my setting are
Game mode: Conquest/Operations/Shock Operations/Rush and Supply Drop (fat chance getting a game but I need to complete 25 Games to finally get the scape goat specialization).
Slots: 1-5 / 6-10
Regions: Europe (only play in Europe, I once got a pissed off yank having a hissy fit at me because my pin was a SHOCKING 98! How could he counter that?)
I don’t download pornography. I have plenty of bandwidth. I ping 15 in US East servers. YOU need to be honest about what region your servers are in when you make blanket statements like that.
Game is NOT DEAD on PC. When I first got the game I thought the same. The problem is the way EA/DICE have the default filters set in the server browser. It only shows you empty servers (god knows why…) unless you fix it. In the free slots section, UNTICK the ALL option and TICK the NONE option (the others you can have as you see fit, I personally leave them ticked). Unticking the ALL option is the most important though. If it is ever ticked, all you will see is empty servers (In the OC region anyway). Ive tested this by ticking it and refreshing the list. All the good games vanish and behold the empty servers. If you are only capable of changing one setting, this is the one you want to change (seeing custom games is a whole other story thanks DICE. It is an easy one time fix but not enough people do it ).

Also, anyone who doesn’t have the DLC and wants it should just buy BF1 REVOLUTION edition (Base game plus all DLC). It is always cheaper than the DLC on its own (about $12AUD on Origin, unsure about console but I assume it is similar). AFAIK, it doesn’t really matter if you already have the base game, it just ‘bolts on’ the extra bits to what you already own (I’ve done it with other games but didn’t with BF1).
my game is always offline and its dumb because i wasted my own money on bf1 and i loved it but now i cant even go online my origin is online i have good internet but the game is offline always
