I keep getting this error message: Failed to Join Server an Unknown error occurred Also when browsing server browser, I only servers that are full with 60-64 players and a player que of 5-9 people waiting to join the servers or 5/64 servers… What is going on with the servers? ---

Failed to Join Server an unknown error occurred I cannot connect to any game. Not through quick match, not through the browser. I have closed and reopened BF1. I have closed all apps on PS4. I have rebooted PS4. I have signed in and out of PSN. Can’t play any multiplayer. I’m an adult with things to do and very little time to play video games, I have time to play a bit this morning. And here I am, on a video game forum because my game literally won’t work. This really pisses my off. ---

I feel your pain, I am an adult with very little spare time too. Last night found a spare hour to play BF1 and spent 40 minutes of it trying to log in to a game. Was not at all impressed!! They found these problems in the BETA version, why not fix them before you launch the game?? One word a_s_holes ---

I just b ought it yesterday, and I’m having this same issue today. Can’t join any server… WTF is this going to be fixed or is there something I need to do? I even turned off my anti-virus program hoping that will help, and it didn’t… If I can’t play, I want a damn refund, this is ridiculous ---
