[Update: Outage fixed] Battlefield 1 'error code 32504' or 'server not working' on Xbox, issue escalated

New updates are being added to the bottom of this story…

Original story (from March 25, 2022) follows:

Battlefield 2042 is the latest installment in the tactical FPS series from Electronics Arts. However, Battlefield 1 (its predecessor) still maintains a solid active player base to this day.

It appears that the sheer number of Battlefield 2042 issues has pushed some players back to Battlefield 1 or forced others to rethink about upgrading for a better experience.

However, many Battlefield 1 players on Xbox consoles have been facing server issues for a few hours now.

According to multiple reports, there is an ‘error code 32504’ or ‘server not working’ error that is preventing Battlefield 1 players from accessing any matches (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).

The issue in question results in many Battlefield 1 players only receiving ‘error code 32504’ or ‘server not working’ messages when trying to find matches through the matchmaking system.

Server problems

No matter the filters, I cannot join any game whatsoever. Whether I browse servers or operations. When i do browse servers they are all unpopulated, and when i use slot filters, even 10+ had no servers. When I try to do operations, I am met with Error code 32504. Could anyone offer any assistance?

Every time I look for an operation it says match making error code 32504 and when I looked in the sever browser and it says 0 players are on and I tried every method of fixing both problems can someone help
