UK servers [Megathread]

NuttysKunKs

Not seeing any past couple of days.. surely its not because the UK is leaving the EU? UK will always be a part of Europe. It just currently part of the European Union...

lol, haven't played today and i have no idea if servers are online. Why i'am not playing, prolly beacause BFV need more maps, it's a bit stalemate right now.

Was playing on one last night.

Yep - having the same problem Nutty. Speaking with an EA support rep on Twitter but still not resolved the issue yet. Closest I can get is Germany

jog0ff

RayD_O1

OK least its not isolated.

17 ping is better than 30

Server availability is directly related to local player population as well as game mode since BF5 uses the SWBF server system where servers spin up as needed as oppossed to the traditional BF server system where they're always up and running.

So are we not going to have uk servers going forward because the player base has dwindled in the uk.?

No UK for me at the mo. 100 + breakthrough and CQ all German.

RayD_O1

Sad really.!!

That cant be right. UK servers vanished yesterday. Always had at least 20 Uk servers populated on DOM during peak time. If EA shut them down then i am deleting this game, I have 0 interest in playing German servers as its always full of cancerous high pingers and out of regions.

RayD_O1

Yeah the 10 or more UK Conquest servers were always full daily, so not sure what's going on really, another bad decision ?

I know of this system but not 1 🇬🇧 has come up in over 20mins of tinkering with Advanced Search

Didn’t they do the same in BF1, servers were mainly Irish, then went predominantly German? It does actually make more sense for servers to be centrally located.

At least in BF1 you could rent servers, this game started off broken and has become the quite probably the worst game of the franchise so far.
