Watched frags/Westy play this lastnight for an hour or so , neither experienced any of those issues your mentioning..
the only problem I can think of is something to do with quick resume or minimising out then try to get back in there is a bug where you can’t connect to ea servers through quick resume on Xbox , that’s Microsoft, maybe there’s some sort of connection between the two platforms sharing a similar issue i noted that down couple of weeks ago tho on here and live with it since I don’t use quick resume anyways but if it is used it won’t connect. But that’s only if i don’t turn my * off properly a so exiting out of the game properly and shutting down that way instead of just hitting the power button leaving BF2042 idle until reboot , the only time I can’t connect is through that scenario, and exiting the game properly and restarting reconnects me to ea… So when ever I shut down I always exit out of the game first since there isn’t a fix yet
so the quick fix until they fix is to avoid a certain feature of the Xbox , how’d you know your issues ain’t of a similar nature
