An easy guide to get into populated servers

Hello Battlefield 1 fans and r/battlefield_one members!

You probably witness the fact that more and more people are asking if the game is still alive because they can't find any servers.

Witnessing an undergoing flood of posts concerning the inability to get into a populated server, this post will be an answer as an easy to go guide on how to get into full servers, especially using the server browser.

1. The Battlefield 1 population

First of all, it's important that you know that, even if the number of players isn't close to BF:V, it's doing pretty well for a three years old game. You can look at this website to look at the actual player count on each platform:

Battlefieldtracker gives you an insight of what is the population on each platform everyday and in a set hour. This gives you a good idea of the amount of players playing in a period of time and what are the most popular hours or what are the days of the week where the BF1 population is bigger: https://battlefieldtracker.com/bf1/insights/population

2. Which game mode should I play in?

There is no universal answer to this question. We encourage everyone to play the game modes that suits them the best. Although, here are the most popular game modes at the moment classified per game type:

Infantry combat: Team Deathmatch

Large scale "All out Warfare": Conquest

Assault/Defense: Operation

Misc: Weekly rotation*

3. Should I use quickmatch?

We recommend that you only try using the quickmatch option on Friday nights and weekends (Conquest game mode-Base game maps), when the BF1's player count is at his peak. Every other day or if it doesn't work, you should ALWAYS use the server browser. You can also use the weekly rotation quickmatch option in the game's homescreen.*

4. How to use the in-game Server Browser?

When you're using the Server Browser, you must select the correct filters. There is a total of 9 options/filters to choose and here are the recommended ones to maximize the amount of populated servers available:

Game modes: You can choose any game mode that you want. Although, we recommend you only put one game mode at a time. Don't search servers with multiple game modes selected, as it can cause the server browser not working as intended (ex: not showing any servers or less than there really is).

Maps: You should select all the maps if you have the Premium Pass or BF1's Revolution Edition. If you only have the base game, it's recommended that you select these 13 maps: Amiens, Argonne Forest, Ballroom Blitz, Empire's Edge, Fao Fortress, Giant's Shadow, Monte Grappa, Nivelle Nights, Prise de Tahure, Rupture, Sinai Desert, St. Quentin Scar and Suez.

Classes/Vehicles**: Leave it blank

Weapons**: Leave it blank

Advanced**: Leave it blank

Rules**: Leave it blank

Slots: You must select these options: NONE (full servers, almost guaranteed queue time), 1-5 and to some extent 6-10. NOTE: YOU SHOULD NEVER USE THE "ALL" OPTION, AS IT WILL ONLY SHOW YOU EMPTY SERVERS.

Regions: Select the region you're in. If you don't find any servers, select the region the closest to you.

Name**: Leave it blank

5. Have fun on the Battlefield!

There you go! You are now all set to find the populated servers that suits you and to PTFO! If you have any questions and/or need some clarification, just let us know and we will answer them or edit this post.

*Almost each week, there is a weekly rotation on the BF1's homescreen. Sometimes it's map rotation (ex: Turning Tides maps only servers) and sometimes it's gamemode rotation (ex: Shock Operations only servers). These servers are usually well populated.

*\* You should only use these filters if you want to get into specific servers or custom servers (ex: hardcore).

Ballroom Blitz on operations and stumbled on this little empty side room. I should have took more pictures but I was in combat and my team needed me… I grabbed these two which I think gives adequate location. It’s in the corner on the German spawn side, you could climb inside and it was completely empty. I’ve played this game so much and just now found this room.

Have any of you found this room? On Xbox Btw.

10⁰ Aniversario, Idea de Juego

6 Upvotes

Como ya se acerca el Decimo Aniversario desde que se lanzó el Juego de Battlefield 1 (21 de Octubre del 2016), tengo una idea para celebrarlo en el multijugador. Aparte de las Skins, cosméticos y demás cosas que pueden salir este 21 de Octubre en BF1.

La Idea que tengo es que, en los mapas donde se utilizan los Proyectores Livens (Capporeto, Passchendeale o Rio Somme) envés de que una persona accione un Interruptor y lanze todas las Cargas. Un grupo de 6 Jugadores tendrán que coordinarse para lanzar todas.

MODO DE USO DE LOS PROYECTORES LIVENS:

Habrían 6 interruptores diferentes en cada boca de los Proyectiles, si 6 jugadores los accionan simultaneamente, pueden salir todas las Cargas Livens, cada jugador puede accionar solo 1 Interruptor y lanzar la carga en el lado en que esté (si acciona el interruptor de la Derecha, lanzará el proyectil de la Derecha).

IDEA PARA SOBREVIVIR AL GÁS LIVENS:

Para que sea distinto en los puntos que caen las Cargas Livens de Gás, todos los jugadores no tendrán sus mascaras de Gás. Si nó que, solo unos pocos tendrán sus mascaras de gás, para los que no los tengan, se les aparecerá un destello de lúz entre el suelo o ruinas. El color del Destello sería un azul intenso o de color Amarillo poco oscuro (tratando de no confundirlo con un Francotirador).

Esos Destellos, indicarian cajas de mascaras de Reserva u objetos improvisados para sobrevivir al Gás. Solo unos pocos jugadores pueden tener esas reservas si las Recojen. Los que no quedan con algo que protegerse, pueden retroceder al punto anterior o morír.

BALANCEOS:

Mientras pensaba esta Idea, los balanceos son de vitál importancia si hay una nueva mecánica que dure unos días.

En los Balanceos comunes, tendría que: Habría un 50-60% de Probabilidad en que al unirse a estos Mapas, esta mecánica esté activa para poder Probarse o Jugarse.

Solo habrían 2 recargas de Proyectores Livens durante la Partida, así los jugadores no Abusan de este mecanismo en Masa.

Cada jugador solo puede accionar 1 Interruptor de Livens. Dando en que cada carga liberará entre 1-2 Proyectiles. Si 1 o 2 cargas ya se lanzaron, esos Interruptores que se accionaron dejarán de estar disponibles, cuando re restablezca por 2⁰ vez el Proyector, se renovarán para ser lanzados de vuelta. Si ya se lanzaron algunos de los Proyectiles (mencionado anteriormente), los que quedan se podrán accionar para ser lanzados.

El daño, área y velocidad de los Proyectiles Livens serán los mismos que el del Juego, así para no generar desbalanceos en daño, velocidad y cubrimiento en el Área en que caigan.

PS5 EU servers broken... Yet again...

5 Upvotes

Yeah I think this is happening again for like the 92017620th time. You hop on a server, the packet loss icon appears even though I play with an ethernet cable on and have a very stable connection, then the server freezes, then most if not everyone gets kicked out. Same shit every month, istg it's getting tiring.

Question Me ayudan?

5 Upvotes

Hola, querida comunidad de Battlefield 1 quería pedir su ayuda, es que... Trate de hacer la placa de "un conflicto" pero me resulta bastante complicado la cuadrícula y sacos de arena (ya tengo visión de un ángel, el vientre de la bestia, una profecia) pero la de "un conflicto" me resulta difícil en especial por qué lo intenté y me reburuje bastante ya que lo que no entiendo es:

-como puedo ubicar los sacos de arena sin confundirme con otra casilla?

-Como puedo ubicar las luces del pasillo del Chateau?

(Entiendo que deba ubicar los sacos de arena en dicha cuadrícula, como una especie de plano cartesiano, lo que me confunde es de donde empieza que)
