2 Linked EA Accounts Cant Play Together Anymore?

Product: Battlefield 2042
Platform:Xbox Series S
Please specify your platform model. Microsoft Xbox Series S
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Game Menu
In which game menu were you when the bug occurred? main menu/in game
Please select your region North America
On which server did this happen? US West
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 11.11.21
Summarize your bug Battlefield 2042 wont let two linked EA accounts play at the same time, but all other battlefields have allowed this, when one person connected to servers it disconnects the other linked player, this seems like a bug because playing with two linked accounts has worked in previous battlefield games.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Just have two linked accounts try to connect to servers, it will boot the other.
What happens when the bug occurs? Error message "disconnected from EA servers"
What should be happening instead? Both linked accounts should we able to play same time like previous battlefields

two linked accounts cant play battlefield 2042 at same time even with separate copies of games, this should work like previous battlefields where both linked accounts can play together.

  • The game is cross play and cross progression so all data would be connected to that one EA account. @mrkybangbang17

    This is working as intended.

  • @EA_Atic okay, but my dad plays on ps4 and i play on pc. So your basically saying one of us isn't allowed to play for no reason. MW allowed us to play together with same user and everything just no cross progression. So I'm * for no reason asides from thinking people are gonna be switching consoles enough to justify screwing people over

    @Lizardfule Yeah this doesn’t make any sense to me it used to never be a problem with any other battlefield besides with this one, now only one of us can play at a time bs this needs to be fixed

    Had the same problem with Knockout City. For BF2042 we just had to create another EA Account.
