Did you just buy Battlefield 1 and try to play a multiplayer match, only to find yourself alone in a completely empty server?
Don't panic! The game is not dead. In fact, thousands of players in the US, UK, and Europe are playing it right now. The problem is the game's "Quick Match" button, which is broken and often puts you in empty lobbies.
To play Battlefield 1 online today, you just need to know a secret trick to use the Server Browser. This step-by-step guide is so simple that anyone can do it. Let's get you into a full 64-player match!
What You Need
The Game: Battlefield 1 installed on your PC (via Steam or the EA App).
An Internet Connection.
(That is it! You do not need to download any extra files or mods).
Step-by-Step Guide to Finding Full BF1 Servers
Step 1: Never Use "Quick Match"
When you open the game and go to the Multiplayer menu, you will see a big button that says Quick Match.
Do not click it! It will almost always put you in a dead, empty game.
Step 2: Open the Server Browser
Instead of Quick Match, we are going to look for servers manually.
In the Multiplayer menu, click on Server Browser.
At first, this list might also look empty. We need to fix your filter settings to reveal the hidden servers.
Step 3: Fix Your "Free Slots" Filters (The Secret Trick)
This is the most important step. The game hides full servers by default, which makes the game look dead. Here is how to fix it:
In the Server Browser, click on Filter (usually on the right side of the screen).
Scroll down until you see the Free Slots section.
Check the boxes for None, 1-5, and 6-10.
Important: Make sure you check None. This tells the game to show you servers that are currently 100% full.
Step 4: Pick Your Region
While you are in the Filter menu, scroll down to Regions.
Select your location (for example, North America or Europe). This ensures you get a good connection without lag.
Step 5: Join a Match!
Now, go back to the main Server Browser screen. Like magic, you will see a massive list of full servers!
Click on the Ping column at the top to sort the servers. You want to join a server with the lowest ping number possible (a green bar).
If a server is full (64/64 players), you can still double-click it. You will be put in a small queue, and you will join the game as soon as someone leaves. It usually only takes a minute or two!
See You on the Battlefield!
That is it! By ignoring Quick Match and setting up your Server Browser correctly, you can always find a full, action-packed match in Battlefield 1.
