Battlefield 2042 PS5 Hazard Zone permanently stuck on “Discarded”

Hi EA/DICE team,

 

I’m reporting a critical issue in Battlefield 2042 (PS5). Every time I try to load Hazard Zone, it gets stuck indefinitely on the Discarded map loading screen. This makes the entire mode completely unplayable.

 

I’ve already tried all standard troubleshooting steps:

 

Reinstalled the game

 

Cleared PS5 cache and rebuilt database

 

Changed DNS and NAT settings

 

Tried different networks and even a different EA account

 

 

The bug still happens 100% of the time, even on fresh accounts — meaning it’s almost certainly a server-side or corrupted session issue specific to Hazard Zone in this region.

 

I purchased the game for $69, and it’s extremely frustrating that one of the core modes is broken without any official fix or acknowledgment.

 

Please escalate this issue to the Battlefield 2042 live-service team and:

 

Terminate all active sessions for my account

 

Reset or clear any corrupted Hazard Zone data

 

Investigate the backend server cache for the Discarded playlist on PS5 EU servers

 

 

Thank you for your attention — I really hope this can be resolved soon.

 

— A disappointed

 but loyal Battlefield player.

    Confirming the exact same issue is ocurring on PC as well. 

    Restarting the game, rebooting the PC, repairing files, removing cache, and uninstalling didn't help. 

    Was able to get into an empty lobby after I:
    - disabled cross-play
    - restarted the game
    - tried Hazard Zone again

    Upon re-enabling cross-play I am stuck on Discarded again.
