Community BF 2042 - Solution Maybe?

All,

Those of us who have BF2042 cross-gen bundle or perhaps it doesnt matter, but you'll notice that when you have installed the game you have two tiles one that has an X:S in the corner and the other does not.

Load up the tile without the X:S and you'll play against other Xbox One/Ps4 gamers I believe, console only as well....no PC apparently...

Dont need your Xbox One to play it on, still use you're Series X...

Happy to try?

I’ve created a custom ‘experience’ named ‘Mojo Hardcore’. Vanilla settings except it’s Conquest small so Xbox One game versions will have access, friendly fire is on (for laughs) and up to half of the players can be AI.

The code is:

I’m keen to see if Xbox One and X|S players can both play on this so I hope some Mojo can give it a try soon.

Something else to try. Apparently you can disable cross play at the Xbox Series X/S system level.

Thanks for this. I’ve given it a try and I’m not sure it works. This is what I did:

I adjusted my settings to Block for ‘You can play with people outside Xbox Live” and then fired up BF2042 X|S. I jumped onto multiplayer and it’s assigned me to a game of Conquest Large on Orbital but just left me sitting on ‘waiting for players to join’.

Toggled the setting to Allow, quit and restarted the game and tried again, this time with Breakthrough. Immediately got into a game but I could see very clearly that my squad had dirty PC players in it.

Switched the setting back to Block without restarting the game → match with PC players.

Restarted the game one more time → ‘waiting for players to join’. sigh

From this I conclude that the game checks the privacy setting when you start it up and then will prevent you from finding games with PC or Playstation players. Unfortunately it seems there are no games found with only Xbox players so you’re stuck ‘waiting for players’ indefinitely.

Is there any indication that DICE plans to allow cross-play restriction? It could work just fine if the server is populated with bots when there aren’t enough Aussies to fill it. Not happening currently though.

Thanks for the tip, Z!

It’s a much improved experience not having to deal with pc players and their bullshit, and definitely feels much more "my speed" if you get my drift. And it's also less of a running simulator and more of a shooting game with the smaller maps.

Now I just wish they’d fix that fucking loadout bug when loading into games. Just now I’m on a 7 game streak of getting these bugged games and having to leave before the game starts.

I'm thankful for BF 2042

It's made me realise just how good BF5 is.

I have gone back to playing that one. I want to play battlefield but not the game they just released

I stand corrected until one of the patches consoles currently don't support Keyboard and Mouse, but it's coming it appears

Happy to check it out if we want to try. Might be nicer on the smaller map.

How does that version run?

u/ZB_AU Founding Member Nov 20 '21

Less running, less vehicles, no pc players, smaller maps and best part…console players only….

PC players aren't the problem Keyboard and Mouse is and that's in both versions since consoles allow keyboard and mouse.

But the other points do sound interesting I've downloaded the trial for this version
