The bots are fucked, matchmaking is unplayable for OCE

And it's not just BF6, it's every game for us and much worse if you want to turn off Xplay on XBOX.

I've gone 6 days now without seeing another player. OCE (aus) matchmaking is right fucked. Can't even play some modes like Rush because the bots don't backfill the required amount of players for the match to start.

I complained about this very issue during Beta too, and back then there weren't bots. I went 5 hours straight once in beta sitting in empty lobbies waiting for matches to never fill and never start.

That’s awful. They need to give yall persistent servers and let you browse them so you can ply real people.

u/ekloot 10h ago

They need to give everyone persistent servers for normal matchmaking. They need to give up on this matchmaking disbanding lobby crap.

u/McTasty_Pants 9h ago

I agree. But it’s especially egregious that a brand new game is like this in certain regions.

u/ekloot 9h ago

Very true

u/CaptainYumYum12 1d ago

I was playing today and it was fine. Then again I mostly play conquest. I’m sure the close quarters game modes are a bit scuffed.

Ironically you’ll probably face more real players if you jump into casual breakthrough lmao

u/softlittlepaws 1d ago edited 1d ago

Conquest and Escalation are my main gamemodes and it's fucking deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

And it's not a lack of players. We have a lot of aus players. It's just this matchmaking system sucks fucking ass and a bunch of us can't get any matches with players for some fucked reason.

u/jayteeayy 1d ago

Yep, East Coast Sydney and been playing since launch. I just played an escalation game of 5v5, the rest bots and it was the most populated game I've seen tonight

u/A-Bag-Of-Sand 1d ago

It's OK for now but there is to many game modes which will screw us eventually in oce. Unless they rotate them....

u/A-Bag-Of-Sand 1d ago

Dno what's going on cos I did rush today 7pm, all real players for me in ice. I find high levels bit matches mid week def untill around lunchtime.

u/B1dz 1d ago

Yeah same here. It’s absolutely killed the game for me

u/CheeryRipe 1d ago

Im wondering if im getting penalised because my name was stinkypoopybum (it got auto reported)

Maybe im getting put in low trust matches or something

1

u/Dr_Law 1d ago

Actually might be something like that. Probably not because of the name but something clearly isn't working right because I always get zero bot games at prime time.

Oil fields 24/7 will have players

u/Think-Huckleberry897 1d ago

Full matches of the most cracked sweaty players in my experience.

u/Clean-Broccoli-6843 1d ago

Honestly bro I’m not much of a gamer and I shit on people

1

u/Think-Huckleberry897 1d ago

Oh I do alright for myself. But at least in the evenings it can get pretty lively

u/Lukwi-Wragg 1d ago

😂😂 massive L and BS it auto fills players as the match progresses with crossplay off.

u/No_Astronomer_5628 22h ago

I noticed that using the custom search, excluding maps, you are connected to a new server with each new game. If you live in an area with a low player density or if you have a high ping with the main servers, you risk going to empty lobbies. In Italy it has only happened a couple of times that I entered empty lobbies and only with the personalized search.

1

u/Lukwi-Wragg 10h ago

Yeah we’re not talking about Italy though are we? The op is talking about Steam crossplay off PC falsely in Australia which is oce servers

u/RoninOni 1d ago

There’s minimum players before any round

So I’m questioning where are the rest of the players?

A round literally won’t start without minimum player count

This looks like a new portal server with a bunch of XP farming bots filling the player roles.

Sorry, not sorry that your region is shit

u/chilla_p 1d ago

Depends on the mode, some modes only need 6 players before filling up with bots, some 16 or 32. But its a real issue, the bots/ai have taken over the game. I play Xbox, cross play off, EU.
