New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on July 30, 2021) follows:
Battlefield 4 is one of the most popular games in the Battlefield franchise. Even though the game was released way back in 2013, it has a very healthy player base.
Last month, Battlefield 4 experienced a sudden surge in number of players after the announcement of Battlefield 2042. This resulted in EA increasing the overall server capacity.
It looks like people are bored of Battle Royale and want to try some old titles.
Having said that, users are now reporting that they are having issues connecting to the Battlefield 4 servers on the Xbox.
Whenever players try to find any servers in-game, they are either unable to do so. Others report that they are not able to connect to the online service.
Gamers who are able to find servers are stuck in a queue and cannot join empty servers.
Some users say they are greeted with “Failed to join the game as its current state does not allow for a connection” or “Error Code 1.”
Even people who recently rented Battlefield 4 servers on Xbox say that the servers are down for them. Multiple users have reported the issue on downdetector.com
We hope EA and Dice fix the server issues soon so that players can enjoy the game once again.
