Battlefield 6 servers are full and players are waiting in long queues. We shouldn’t be surprised because it was developers’ plan

by

The Battlefield series is a hugely popular name in the world of shooting games, so there was a lot of anticipation for the latest release, Battlefield 6. Despite early testing and problems, many hoped the launch would be smooth and avoid long wait times. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case – thousands of players are currently stuck in queues. Surprisingly, the developers seem to have anticipated this and planned for it.

What developers have to say on BF6 queues

Many online multiplayer games struggle with server capacity, meaning there isn’t enough room for all players. Before a game launches, developers and publishers need to carefully plan how many servers to rent or buy. Usually, they base this decision not on the initial peak of players, but on estimates of how many people will play the game on a typical day. Sometimes, these estimates are too low, as seen with the launch of Blue Protocol: Star Resonance. To manage high player numbers, the developers of Battlefield 6 implemented a waiting queue system.

On the official announcement on Discord, we can read that:

Now that the game has launched, a lot of players are trying to join at once. To ensure a smooth and stable experience for everyone, we’ve put login queues in place. We’re letting people in as quickly as possible, so you shouldn’t have to wait long.

Ideally, we wouldn’t need a queue system at all. But it’s a definite improvement over the frequent random errors we were seeing before. That said, the queue doesn’t eliminate errors completely – some players immediately reported receiving an “Undefined Error” message when the game launched.
