Wifi Disconnect's on opening
Hello! Me and my dad were just trying to play BF2042 again, and it seems my wifi not only turns off but the wifi adapter seems to disable as well! I uninstalled the Killer Intelegence Hub, I use a Alienware m16 r2. And I heard Killer does this, so I just uninstalled the intellegence hub, do I need to uninstall the drivers too?
Losing Connection to EA servers
I've been having an issue where I get disconnected from matches after playing for 5-10 minutes (usually 8 minutes exactly). I've been having the issue for the past 2 years and it has occurred on every Battlefield game I own on my PC (BF4, BF1, BF5, BF2042, BF6). I've tried every solution I could find and haven't had any luck and I was wondering if anyone else is still having this issue or better yet if anyone has found a fix for it. I've tried everything I could find online or think of on my own, except wiping my PC and restarting with a fresh install of windows (I've seen posts where people have tried that and it still didn't work). I've also had three different ISP's and the issue has occurred with all of them. I'll attempt to provide an exhaustive list of everything I've tried, but if anyone has any recommendations or experience with this issue and wants to comment that'd be great. Things I've tried in no particular order: Reinstall network drivers (ethernet and WIFI) Reinstall Nvidia drivers and all Intel Drivers Port forwarding Clean install of Steam, EA, and game Allowing anti-cheat and game through firewall Disabling firewall and Virus Scanning Manually updating DNS address (DNS Cache is running) Updating adapter settings to not use Dualband Disabling IPv6 Running EA, anti-cheat, steam, and game as Administrator Disabling .NET 3.5 Disabling .NET 4.8 Upgrading to Windows 11 Downloading the game on different hard-drives Ensuring Secure Boot is on and working Clearing EA and Steam cache consistently Repairing Anti-Cheat and EA App with App Recovery Cleaning out old drivers/programs that are unused Tried Ethernet and WIFI with each ISP (tested disabling the driver for the one I wasn't using as well) Disabling Overlays Enabling Overlays Creating fresh EA and Steam accounts That's all I can think of right now but if I try new things or remember other things I've tried previously, I will update the thread.
Guns do zero damage after a while
I play one match without issues, then when I join the second match of the day all my guns stop doing damage. AR's do no damage, sniper rifles do no damage, pistols do no damage. Grenades do no damage either, I could throw one into a middle of five enemies but not one of them takes any damage from it. The recon motion sensor ball doesn't always ping enemies who stand right next to it. It's like I'm in ghost mode except I take damage normally. I don't know about vehicles but it doesn't affect Blasco's stick, Paiks wallhack or Irish turret, those work just fine. This has been happening since the latest big update. Only "fix" I've found is to force-quit the game and relaunch it. I have no latency issues, no lag, ping is low. It doesn't happen when the servers are having trouble, either. It always starts after the game has been running for 20 - 40 minutes. After relaunch it doesn't happen again on that session, no matter if I continued to play for the next two or three hours. I only play "official" modes, never in Portal or against bots so idk does it affect those as well. I've lost count for how many times I've emptied an full AR mag into an enemy's back, only for them to turn around and kill me with two shots. Steam is the platform. I have almost 800 hours in this game and this is the first time I've encountered this bug. I've had ping close to 50 and while it was laggy at times (40 now) I still did damage to players. I post this more as an bug report than asking for help to fix it, because I can't find an "proper" channel for posting bug reports.
The weirdest bug 2042 Please help
as soon as i go into a match the game thinks its in the background as in that another window is covering it so it decided to not render only using 20% gpu however if i put another window over the game it starts to run smoothing at 80-90% gpu Im using 9955hx with rtx 5070ti laptop
Portal or Servers Broken and Chat is Broken, Wi-Fi Driver Issue
I’m experiencing several issues with Battlefield 2042 on Steam that appear to match what other players have previously reported in the EA forums: BF2042 Portal - Totally broken.. no Portal "game session is not available" | EA Forums - 13203199 Connection failed battlefield 6 Error code 0:85008S:468882297O:0Q | EA Forums - 13203169 Game session undavailable 11:3401j:1106i:7748441280:131076q | EA Forums - 6978401 1. Player count not updating on portal The player count appears to be stuck and does not change I first noticed this yesterday and again today; the numbers have remained exactly the same on both days 2. Can't Choose Maps? On the official matchmaking options, there is no way to choose specific maps Please add a map selection option, and provide better visibility of available servers so players can choose where to play, including for Quick Play Additionally, the matchmaking queue often takes a very long time while waiting for a game to start on this only 1 option, so the alternative solution is to look on portal servers 3. In‑game chat not working or broken The in‑game chat is not appearing, I cannot see other players’ messages? I initially thought this was a settings issue on my side, but after checking my settings and testing, the problem persists, last 2025 mid - year -> I have no issues on this, so I was wondering why it is not showing and I thought it was a new feature or something, but it seems to be broken I tested Battlefield 6 on the same system, and chat works there normally. This issue seems specific to Battlefield 2042 on Steam 4. "Game session not available" error & Wi‑Fi driver issue My Wi-Fi Driver is on the latest and the Ethernet/LAN Driver, but we are focusing on the Wi-Fi Driver at the moment: MediaTek MT7925/7927 WiFi Driver v5.7.0.4669 for Windows 11 64-bit Version 5.7.0.4669 2026/01/02 SHA-256 ：8A41FA06CDF14033E4D88D5A87AB3B64F20DD97019223FD1BD41A7E3FD4AEE35 I can't join servers nor play on the official servers? also, when the "Game session not available" error occurs on PCs that are using Wi‑Fi (or have Wi‑Fi enabled), it appears to cause the Wi‑Fi driver to become unavailable After this happens, the only way to restore the Wi‑Fi functionality is to restart the computer It renders, cannot play BF2042 because of this problem Also, it seems there are cheaters and bots on the servers as usual? when will it be fixed and auto-detection for these accounts to be banned or hardware banned I tried "Verify Integrity of game files", Re-download the game -> no fix on it, so I think this is on the game problem System Specifications: CPU: Intel® Core™ i9‑14900KF (Not overclocked and optimized) GPU: NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4080 SUPER GPU Driver Version (Latest at the moment) NVIDIA App: 11.0.6.383 Game Ready Driver: 591.86 RAM: GeIL ORION V 32GB 5200MT/s Storage: WD Blue™ SN580 NVMe™ SSD 2TB (Latest Firmware Version: 281050WD) Motherboard: ASUS Z790 GAMING WIFI7 (BIOS Latest: Version 1825) Intel ME Version (Latest) Intel Serial IO Software (Latest) Intel Management Engine Interface (Latest) Intel Chipset Driver (Latest) Microcode (Latest) Windows Version (Latest at the moment): 25H2 (OS Build 26200.7840) Lastly, this only happens on this game, I have no issues on other games or PC general usage, so I am reporting this problem here for it to be fixed hopefully I really thought the in-game chat is just like that on 2026 but it seems not as there is no chats from players be it squad, team or all (both sides) so this is a problem too, last year it did not have an in-game chat issue, i don't know why it has this and if this has been going for a bit long time now
The latest version of EA anticheat is required to play
I was playing Battlefield (BF2042) 2042 just fine the other night when I got this error. Security Breach (Upper left corner of pop up window). The body read: The latest version of EA anticheat is required to play. Please see: https://help.ea.com/help/pc/ea-anticheat/ on how to update to latest version. (136) I tried the above link and that did not work in any way shape or form. I did this several times without luck. I did the whole empty cache and app recovery. No luck. I uninstalled the EA app and battlefield 2042. One would think a fresh installation would install the required updated version of EA's anticheat. That was a HARD NO. Windows updates: everything is and was up to date and drivers are up to date. I can play any other game from any other platform with no issues whatsoever. Question: Why the hell am I the one having to manually do an update for ES's anticheat software? This seems to be something that is your job. I paid for a service and have to manually fix your garbage. Nah, makes absolutely zero cents. I know I'm coming across as abrasive but this isn't just about not being able to play a game. Just like EA, it's about money. The most important thing on this planet. This is a waste of money.New bugs in 2026
After renewing my EA Play subscription, I returned to Battlefield 2042, but since then, I haven't been able to enter a single 2042 session. Every time I try, my network card crashes. I've tried updating my network card driver, motherboard BIOS, clearing the cache, updating and fixing anti-cheat measures, updating my NVIDIA graphics card driver, and using my phone's hotspot, but without exception, I get the same error message. I'm starting to believe that DICE is trying to drive players to Battlefield 6, but this will only drive players away. My IP address is in the US, so I'm sure it's not a VPN issue.Infinite Black Loading Screen
Just bought the game, it worked fine during the first launch, played the whole introductory match and returned to the main menu. When customizing a class, the loading icon appeared and won't go away, stuck even when i clicked play. Closed and relaunched the game, and I got the permanent infinite black loading screen (after the satellite screen) no matter how many times I've tried. Already tried all sort of fixes, reinstalled the game, deleted Documents/Battlefield2042 folder, reinstalled ea app, deleted its related folders in appdata, reset network settings, restarted router, tried using mobile hotspot, restarted pc with minimal sevices, nothing worked. What I remembered after the first launch, I closed the game and it said "couldn't sync data" or something like that. Now everytime I launched the game there's no dialog box saying anything, and no fix either. The screenshot is the active connection after the black loading screen persists for few minutes. There's no problem with my connection.Splahscreen crashing and games not launching
After 6 months i finally managed to find a way to fix my EA app. If anyone is having issues when launching a game and after the splashscreen the ea app just pops back up and the game doesnt launch, i juts found a fix. I used Windows key + R then typed services.msc and went into properties on the EA Anticheat service and changed the mode from manual to automatic.
