Its not an EOR Issue! [ Edited ]

[manear26]

You can't have an EOR issue if you can't get into a round in the first place?

When will EA start addressing the problems where users from multiple servers and locations can't access the majority of the games AT ALL. It's being lumped in with the EOR issue. It was originally being put in as a Ping server issue but that wasn't the fault either. 

We can't get into games. Why are you not answering these problems?

Day 125: Backend update implied fixing empty lobby issue. Still broken. Still can't play anything but GA.

Hello @manear26 and thanks for reporting in.

There are still a lot of problems with the matchmaking and EOR matchmaking, however there were some changes that might improve your situation.

Within BF2, navigate to the main menu to the "account settings", and then set the ping site on "Default". The game will favour the best ping sites over the worst ones, but when no lobby is found at the best ping site, it will look for lobbies for the next ping site. So this means that you have a little higher ping (which will probably not be noticeable in game) and you can find more lobbies.

Could you try that out and see if it improves?

No it doesn't work. I have tried that so so so many times before. 

It's not ping related and not MM related. It's been going on since July. 

For a month it would be some game modes and not others. I was able to play extraction, Strike and Blast for a while. Then an update, and no longer possible. Now only GA. 

If it was MM related it would be a recent thing, but its not.

The Ping issue was blamed to start with but after that was fixed the problem persists. 

As said, I can mostly get into GA games (sometimes takes 2-3 goes) but not Strike, Blast, Extraction or Ewok hunt.

Day 132. 

Blast and Strike QuickStart event started. Apparently, can't experience it. 

Now GA won't find a game either. 

EA released a survey to ask if we recommend the game. How could they expect us to say "yes" unless its to people we dislike?
