In Battlefield V, it takes an unusually long time to exit the game after a match ends. A DICE employee explains why this is the case.
What is the problem? Many players complain about the lengthy process of leaving the game after a multiplayer match concludes. In an Ask-Me-Anything thread on Reddit, DICE Producer Jaqub Ajmal was asked about the reason for the long loading and waiting times.
According to Ajmal, it is due to the fundamental function of Battlefield V’s multiplayer, which aims to transition players seamlessly from one match to the next.
How does the match system work? Normally, when a match in Battlefield V ends, players are redirected to the menu with the match results, scores, and stats. During this time, the game begins preparing the next round and is already loading the new map.
This process has the highest priority. If a player tries to leave the next match now, they will be ranked lower in priority and will thus have to wait longer before they can exit matchmaking. A quick termination of this loading process is currently unfortunately not possible due to technical limitations.
“It is certainly something we would like to fix in the future,” Ajmal said. “But unfortunately, I cannot give you an approximate date for that at the moment.”
While the developers are tweaking the game, the sales figures for Battlefield V lag behind:
