can’t play Battlefield 2042 on Xbox series x without flickering screen with colored dots. This doesn’t happen in the menu’s or other new games. Even tried otter monitors and waited for the first update today (19 nov). No progress… hope someone can help me out.

I have also been experiencing the same issue. I have read through the threads and followed the steps, however I’m still having issues. Any ideas?

@baz-e-baz What type of monitors are you using? When I look I think the lights might be shifted, for me the red light it apart of a fixture (but its more to the left)

Hi, Hereby a video of the error. Flashes and colored dots.I've uploaded the video:https://youtu.be/0My3-CdZris I've used multiple screens (TV Phillips, monitor SamSung 4k and monitor Acer HD) and different HDMI-cables to test Battlefield 2042 XS. All with the same problem...The Battlefield Xbox One editions works fine.Also other games work perfect.Hope that you can help me out.

@baz-e-baz Thanks for the video, to check have you tried the following? Clear Persistent Storage Go to settings > Select Device & Connections > Then Blue-Ray Select Persistent Storage > Clear Persistent Storage Clear Alternate Mac: Go to settings > Select General > Then Network settings Go to advanced settings > Alternate Mac address > Select clear Select restart Delete local save Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide, and then select My games & apps. Highlight the game, press the Menu button on your controller, and then select Manage game & add-ons. In the menu on the left side of the screen, scroll down to Saved Data, then highlight the saved data for your gamertag on the right and press the A button on your controller. You'll be prompted to confirm deletion of this game save data: Delete from console removes the local copy of this save. You can get it from the cloud the next time you play. Delete everywhere removes your saved data from this console, the cloud, and all other consoles you play on. Cancel leaves your data intact.

@EA_Illium Thanks for your help, unfortunately it didn’t work. I’ve tried all three options.Greetings, Bas

Any news? This couldn't be true with this set of Xbox series X and an expensive 4k 144 hz monitor and still no Battlefield 2042 to play... is there any way to get this solved? Maybe a disc version of the game? Hope you can help me out now...

@baz-e-baz I think your Series X may be defective. As it sounds like a problem with gpu when under load, hence no problem in menus etc. How about other heavy running games ?

@L3BRACON thanks for the info. No problems with other heavy running games like FarCry6, Halo Infinite, COD Vanguard, Flightsimulator, etc. And strange that the white flashing is only in light external areas. No flashing in dark areas or within buildings. The colored dots in light and dark areas are continious.

Still no solution here. Never played this game. Thrown away money! I’ve bought series X and monitor for this game. All other next gen games work perfectly. If you have found the solution then please let me know
