Battlefield 2042 Issues So Far

This post is all about some of the Battlefield 2042 Issues So Far, and wow there are many problems with this game!

Below is a official listing of some of the Battlefield 2042 Issues So Far, all information listed below is official (not just people crying on social networks). We know a couple of the issues have been fixed with the latest Battlefield 2042 Update 0.2.1 but not all and will probably need a bigger update in the next week or so.

Connectivity
Server Rubberbanding / All Platforms

We have spent our day investigating the reported instances of Rubberbanding that most commonly appear on All-Out Warfare. This is an issue occurring on our side, and we’re all over it.

Persistence Data / All Platforms
Throughout the day we’ve performed focused backend maintenance, targeted at reducing the number of times you see ‘Error: Persistence Data (2002G). These changes are active now, and are being actively monitored We’re seeing significantly reduced errors, and will keep on it

We are continuing to investigate additional error codes that show alongside Persistence Data errors. (15:-7A), (1:4688822970:100J:1004G), (2.2600J), and (15:1102P: 1101P) are all being looked into by the team and we’ll keep you updated on our progress.

GAMEPLAY

Reviving / All Platforms
We are aware some players are in rare instances finding themselves in state where they cannot redeploy and are forced to leave the server.
Our investigations so far have shown that this issue appears to be linked to problems where our IFF indicators disappear, and in instances where players find themselves unable to ADS, or un-crouch.
As a temporary solution, if you find yourself in this state, immediately press Escape/Start and choose redeploy. This will break the cycle and ensure that you’re not forced to leave the server.
We’re actively working on the fix for the root cause of this issue and will keep you updated.
We are aware of players being unable to revive others if they are in a downed state near bushes, walls, shallow water surfaces. This is being looked into by the team.

Progression & Earning

Challenge Rewards / All Platforms
Challenge progression and reward unlocks continue to show an incomplete progression bar until the game has been restarted*
FIXED – Restarting the game will fix this for you, however, a fix has been made for an upcoming update.

MATCHMAKING

Battlefield Portal Experience Queue
We are aware of early signs that players could find themselves stuck in an infinite queue when trying to join highly popular Battlefield Portal Experiences. There is no option to leave a queue other than hard-quitting the game at this moment in time, we are continuing to investigate this issue.

Breakthrough End of Round
We’re aware of some players getting ‘stuck’ when transitioning to the next map in Breakthrough mode.
Temporary Workaround: If this happens, we recommend quitting out of the match and re-matchmake. Our team is working on a solution in the meantime.

Breakthrough Round Completion
We’re aware some matches are not successfully ending once the attackers have captured all objectives with the only option being to leave the match manually.

Starting a Breakthrough Round
We’re aware some matches are not successfully starting and players are not seeing spawn points to deploy onto. The team is investigating this issue.

Battlefield Portal
Gadgets / Bad Company 2 – We have temporarily disabled the UAV-1 Interaction on Valparaiso and Arica Harbor pending future balance changes. The Laptop on both maps will no longer spawn to prevent the UAV-1 from being deployed.
