More capacity is being added by Visceral Games

The development team at Visceral Games and publisher Electronic Arts are claiming that they have taken all measures to make the current open beta for Battlefield Hardline a success, but despite their best efforts there are still players who are unable to join a match and need to face the dreaded “Matchmaking Failed -- Could not find a server to join” message.

In an official Help article, the two companies are claiming that the problem is linked to the fact that the servers they are using sometimes reach their maximum capacity and simply cannot accept any more connections.

The official page adds, “We've limited the number of participating players per platform during the Battlefield Hardline beta to balance our need for stress-testing while still trying to give an exciting and engaging in-game experience to as many players possible.”

Visceral Games promises it will add more server capacity before the beta for Battlefield Hardline ends on February 8, but says that demand will probably continue to outpace offer when it comes to matches.

The only solution for players is to wait a little and then try to join a game once again and hope that space is freed.

Battlefield Hardline should not have any problems when the full game is out

The problem with the Matchmaking Failed message, as with the previously flagged server browser problems on the PlayStation 4, is that some members of the community see them as bad omens for the full launch of the shooter.

Visceral Games and Electronic Arts have promised that the game will not suffer from the issue that Battlefield 4 had when it came out, which took a long time to fix.

Battlefield Hardline will be out on March 17 in North America and on March 19 in Europe, on the PC, the PlayStation 4, the Xbox One and last-gen consoles.

Until then, the developers have claimed that they will use the data gathered in the open beta to make some small tweaks to gameplay, even if the core mechanics have been set for some time.

Battlefield Hardline will have an extensive multiplayer experience, with new modes like Heists and Hotwire, and will also offer a story-driven single-player campaign, which is inspired by both Hollywood and TV shows.
