What will I do if I live in the Middle East? There are no Middle East servers...

I live in the Middle East (sadly for any reason) and playing Bf4 is like finding treasure, I only sometimes can play, (on EU servers, I think) And on 72 ping...

Can a VPN work on BF4? please help me I'm DESPERATE!!!!

72 is fine

I also said I can only SOMETIMES play, I have a 30% chance of being able to log in to a match.

72 is perfectly fine I agree

Why you can't play, servers are empty? there should be some EU servers

I simply can't join, That's the problem I have no clue, I think EU servers have problems with the middle east

If the ping is good there shouldn't be a problem, do you know how to use the server browser?

Yes but the main point is that I cannot join any servers, I have a 30% success rate.

Not with those 60/64 servers with bots, I use specific servers that ONLY SOMETIMES work.

And ye, I know how to use the server Brower properly

try using exitlag or something similar. could just be bad routing.

what's exitlag?

foxratao · 26 Aug 2026 at 21:42 · permalink

exit lag is similar to a vpn but instead of masking your identity and traffic, it just makes you take a better route to the server.

I don't think VPNs will work, I often see people getting kicked from servers for using a VPN. Exitlag might be worth a try like the other guy said. Are you playing on PC?

doesnt sound like anything to do with your ping though. try logging out and logging back in to EA

Im in Australia and play on USA servers with 200+ ping and rarely notice any lag.
Use battlelog in your browser , click on the server then click View full server page, then see the live scorecard to see how many actual players.
