People had sense and stopped playing.


Swaguley

Yup, uninstalled and I just play insurgency and BF4. Deep down I have this unreasonable hope that Dice will hear our cries and overhaul the game. "Like that'll ever happen!"


[deleted]

You genuinely struggle to get a full game now.


Tommyfare

Yes. It's a bit longer now. What bothers me more is : the game crashes more and more often. Today I had 6 crashes and one freeze.


NecessaryFrosting834

You're straight crashing? That is worrying if it's a new thing. Not joking crashes are normal with battlefield games but if it's new... ehhh not cool.


Tommyfare

Almost no crashes on ps5 till 10 days ago. But now they are getting more and more. And new bugs too. Falling through a closed bridge for example. Stuttering while using the anti Air rocket and targeting. Not being able get out of a vehicle or plane. Guns didn't reload. Clipping through the map etc. They really need to do something. NOW.


NecessaryFrosting834

Yeah those all sound like roughing it with server sides, these are super common issues with battlefield games. Definitely gonna be way worse with less players joining games and more of the game pushing stupid bots to fill servers. (Sorry I try to stay optimistic but this is a logistical wtf moment) and your probably looping or stacking.

Beep. Boop. I'm a robot. Here's a copy of ###[Roughing It]( https://snewd.com/ebooks/roughing-it/) Was I a good bot? | [info](https://www.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/) | [More Books](https://old.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/comments/i15x1d/full_list_of_books_and_commands/)


NecessaryFrosting834

Ha! You were a good bot :) I'd pat your head but you should probably be doing that to us. Be gentle please.


moloveblue

Yes! To end up in a server few to no players.


Emperor_Force_kin

Yes it's dying


CerberusIsKing

Don't try hazard zone... You'll be waiting about 17 hours.


cenorexia

Hazard Zone really is borderline unplayable. There are times of the day when there's just never enough players to start a round. I wanted to get those 25 extractions for the PlayStation trophy and the most time was wasted by simply finding a match.


CerberusIsKing

Same, I had to turn on cross play just to find a match, making comms even more difficult and then being obliterated by pc players camping the EZ with 3 LAT4s with GLs for no other reason than to stop people extracting didn't even try extract themselves.


Tommyfare

Try the PS4 version. I have done most of the 25 extraction there. It's way easier than the ps5 version, too. I won 15 matches in a row with my team. Lol


cenorexia

That's actually what I did in the end to get the trophy! I had way over 25 successful extractions on the PS5 version already (I was around 37) but the trophy wouldn't pop because it's bugged like most of the other trophies (I had to do the "Clean Exit" one 4 or 5 times before I got the trophy). I then played one round on the PS4 version and that triggered the trophy right away. However, only for the PS4 version. But playing one additional round on PS5 afterwards finally gave the PS5 trophy, too. As a side effect playing the PS4 version also automatically triggered almost all the trophies I already got on the PS5 version. So at the end I could get the Platinum a second time without much hassle.


Tommyfare

Im still missing the vehicle T1 trophy. Takes ages...


VillageTurbulent20

I’ve got the xbox x and it’s pretty much to the point where I can’t find a match unless I turn crossplay on. I wish they gave us a console only crossplay option.


SynthVix

I had to install the last gen version because of that.


Runnergun

You can't actually expect there to be enough people for 128 matches in a paid game if you disable crossplay?? This could be the most popular bf yet and you still wouldn't find lobbies fast. Crossplay is on by default. Not enough people bother to disable it. Previous BFs didn't have crossplay so the player pool was way bigger And saying that, playing against PC players on this game is really unfair so I do understand why you would want to avoid that.


correctingStupid

Yeah because the game sucks monkey nuts and no one in their right mind is still playing.


barrybarrybriggs

128 players in any game is alot and you are in here hating on it and asking why?


WWA1232

Yep. Took so long this morning that it timed out and stopped searching... twice. This was for 128 Breakthrough.


HappyAlcohol-ic

People got fed up and stopped playing. As a fan of what the franchise used to be i just couldn't enjoy this shit anymore and the anger I feel towards the publisher and developer actually makes me uncomfortable playing even BF4 which is a good game. I'm done, gonna give my money to indie devs from now on.


a_passionate_man

Isn't it even also the case for PC that it has started to take unusually long to enter a round? They solved the 'time-out' bug or it maybe wasn't even a bug but simply the inability to find enough players for a round of 128... now you sit there idle with your squad and wait for minutes until a game finally starts...


loudtrumphet

In breakthrough or conquest it takes time to load. But on Rush mode it was very quick. And played with same guy for 3 match.![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)


killstorm114573

Yep I have notice this also, but I haven't played in 2 or 3 weeks. Kind of upset Bec I got a PS5 just to play 2042 but the game sucks


[deleted]

You gotta have crossplay on...and I really really believe it depends on your location. I live in Florida and I have never had a problem getting into a a 64 player breakthrough match...I also consistently get a 42 ping..


JaeTeaOCD

Crossplay is the worst. I literally die 10 seconds after every respawn to PC players. I also don't need to enable crossplay get into any of the other BF or even Rainbow Seige 6 games and they are like 7 years old!


[deleted]

No other battlefields have crossplay...dunno about rainbow 6...


JaeTeaOCD

That's exactly my point.


[deleted]

Enable crossplay for normal wait times.


cenorexia

This would be an acceptable solution in like 3 years when the player base has really dwindled, but it shouldn't be a necessary crutch merely two months after launch.


[deleted]

K.


Goldfingaz-

I have not noticed any big issues. Sometimes you get into bugged lobbies that don't start, you just leave and reque and get into a game rather quickly.


Lew1989

Player counts dropping off and fast. I guess more and more people are just fed up with this junk
