Jumping into Battlefield 6? Here are the bugs to watch out for — and fixes to help you squash them.
Just over two months since Electronic Arts (EA) revealed the game in late July and then blew everyone's socks off with a colossal Open Beta that broke a Call of Duty record in August, Battlefield 6 — the latest installment of the beloved, long-running multiplayer FPS — has finally come out on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and PS5.
Between the return of the classic Battlefield class system, tons of new class-specific gadgets that expand the ways you can make an impact throughout your matches, the most advanced dynamic map destruction the series has ever had, and more, it's poised to rise as the dream game fans of the franchise have been yearning for.
But like many new AAA titles these days — seemingly nearly all of them, unfortunately — Battlefield 6's release has been mired by frustrating bugs and launch issues. Some of these are rather minor thankfully, but others are more serious, as they're impeding fans' ability to run and play the game.
EA and developer DICE are no doubt hard at work trying to resolve these as soon as possible, but in the meantime, you should familiarize yourself with the FPS' current issues and all known fixes and workarounds so you know what to look for and can deal with problems that arise. You'll find a full list of all of this below.
Battlefield 6 — Known bugs, launch issues, and fixes
Battlefield 6 "Game Not Released" error
Issue: Steam users have reported that they've been unable to download or update Battlefield 6 due to an erroneous "Game Not Released" error in their Steam installation queue.
Fix: Try fully exiting Steam (in the client, select Steam > Exit at the top left) and relaunching it to see if this fixes the problem. If not, try restarting your internet router, or restarting your PC. If the problem persists, you'll have to wait until a fix comes (or the bug potentially resolves itself).
Battlefield 6 won't launch
Issue: Some players on Windows PC have reported that they've been unable to launch the Battlefield 6 client, with it crashing to desktop shortly after being run initially.
