Battlefield 2042 has faced the issue of an insufficient amount of players in their multiple servers. Believed to be due to the game’s option for players to create their own servers, individuals have found it impossible to play.

Now, according to this South Africa-based player, most of the game’s current audience is focussing on Portal mode. Because of the game’s constant problem of a lack of players, the Redditor, explaining the scenario, said, “It’s pretty much first-come first-serve. There simply aren’t enough players to fill multiple servers so the first person to host a server for the night pretty much has full control over the game for the rest of the players in the region.”

Sadly, for many 2042 enthusiasts in the South African region, the host of games in recent times has resorted to banning players for unclear reasons. Preventing the banned players from enjoying a game they spent their hard-earned money on. Although the option to create a server still remains, the lack of audience still denies them the opportunity to play.

The community on Reddit found this incident hilarious and expressed their reactions.
