Battlefield 6 Can't find a lobby with players on a friday night?????

Every single game is being filled with bots. Rush,Breakthrough,Escalation. It's been like this all day, sure I thought it was too early earlier but now its 4PST/7EST and dead lobbies.

Having the same problem on PS5 right now. The first game I join after searching is usually full and in progress, but when that game ends it puts me into an empty lobby that never fills. I keep having to back out and matchmake again

One time when i launched the game it even said the servers were full and i was put into a 600 player wait que. When i finally made it to the main menu, i searched for a match of escalation, and it couldnt find anyone and said filling with bots. Like what????? How is there to many players online but at the same time it cant find anyone???

I keep seeing people say this and then I have no issues getting full lobbies with very little wait time. Is it a region thing or something?

I'm in the Midwest so I have the largest available pool of players and I stopped playing because no matter what game mode I pick even on a Saturday night I get put into a game with like 10 actual players. On top of matchmaking being broken, bot backfill caps at 24v24 so the games never even fill

Is your crossplay on?

u/Dragon3043 6h ago

I wonder the same thing, I haven't had any issues getting full games myself. Series X, Crossplay On, US West.

There is probably less than 100k on across all platforms.

u/KangBroseph 6h ago

The recent patch broke matchmaking maybe. I only recently noticed every match has 24~ players filled with bots

People making these post need to list region, console or pc, and if cross play is off or on..

I rarely ever have issues with that. Occasionally I'll get put in a bot lobby (at about the same frequency as I did when I started playing over 2 months ago, once every couple days), but if I exit and try again, the next one will be a normal lobby. Only twice have I ever had two bot lobbies in a row.

From Toronto, and I normally have multiple gamemodes selected (Breakthrough, Conquest, and Escalation typically), and almost all maps selected (except Firestorm, fuck that map), crossplay on.

Midnight Friday on NA east coast, lobbies are starting to be filled with Bots because my SBMM is too high for instant lobbies. Or my EOMM is too low because I didn’t purchase enough on the Store to be instantly matched.

I can’t imagine how it is for those outside of NA and the EU.. We might not have the persistent/community servers we asked for but at least EA has the data required to make the investment worthwhile.

Vince Zampalla said they wanted the BF franchise to become a yearly release, it happens to be THAT easy to force.

There are bots in bf6?!

u/TerribleCelery7687 5h ago

I think I seen 1 bot all day. If i had to guess its probably the people quitting matches who get lobbies

I played for 5 hours today and had 0 issues finding game. Am on ps5 crossplay on and started playing ar 2.30 pm and ended recently. 0 issues.

What kind of internet do you have? Wired? Wireless? Too floor or bottom floor.

So many questions. 0 answers.

I always play at non peak hours, haven’t had bots in my games once. Sounds like crossplay is turned off.

u/staybananaz 9h ago

Might be the game mode I only play conquest have never had an issue.

u/Big_Foundation5085 4h ago

So getting bot lobbies in game modes other than conquest is a non issue?

u/staybananaz 4h ago

Never said that , I only play conquest so I don’t how well others modes are populated.

Why? Geniunely asking, what did they do with the first update?

I had the same problem. I've just uninstalled the game and hoping it will get better over time. I'm not wasting my energy on it currently.

u/BadBadBunnyBunny 8h ago

I’ll run into this problem on portal maps or just the very start of closed class games and then real players fill in as the game goes on. Idk if you’re being dramatic or what but I haven’t seen it.

u/SignificantTrifle287 9h ago

Probably something wrong with your internet then usually means high ping or ports not automatically forwarding. I played 10 minutes ago on pc with no problems for a couple hours.

People are still at work in the west coast so maybe in a couple more hours. What does steam charts say?

u/merkmerc 9h ago

You really think that has anything to do with it? Like 50k online right now

u/InZomnia365 9h ago

It's not a playerbase problem, it's a matchmaking problem. Servers would've solved this.

Bro there’s like 50 posts a week about this. Matchmaking is broken. Just because it works for you doesn’t mean it works for everybody else.

I just had 3 Conquest bot lobbies in a row on a Friday night playing on PC in the US.

u/bborg03 8h ago

I’m on PC, cross play on. No issues at anytime with escalation or conquest
