bf1 won't let me join servers

[pmedice72]

bf1 won't join servers because of "not enough bandwidth" and runs poorly when it does join

@pmedice72 If you're finding full ones, probably the best thing to do is to join the queue. That way, after you get in, you'll be able to stay on that server. That's what I normally do anyway.

Hey @pmedice72,

Do you have a 512KB/S or faster connection?

[pmedice72]

@pmedice72 As for the issue you are facing, do you mean that you get this error message as shown in the image below?

If yes, do you get this error message usually when you try to join a server like as shown in the gif below?

[pmedice72]

Yes, I also cannot seem to find any populated servers, most are either empty or completely full

i had the same problem weeks back, its the 

ISP, internet service provider, 

trying to save money, by fiddling around with the bandwidth.

In that case, the best solution is to restart the game. You can try to repair the game through Origin, but the problem will come back after a certain time. This problem may happen when you leave a server mid-game and join a new server.

As for the second problem, go to Server Browser and then go to Filters and go to Slots and make sure you select only these 4 options as shown in the image below 

If you select All option, you will see many empty servers which is something you don't want. Make sure it's not selected.

Yes but the issue is that even if they had open slots I can’t join because of the “bandwidth requirement” error
