ConquestPlease select your region EuropeOn which server did this happen?When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)Summarize your bug I demonstrated how this bug works in the video.How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? -I demonstrated how this bug works in the video. -Unfortunately, I do not know how to reproduce the black screen issue. It occurs randomly for many players on different PC configurations, even when playing on GeForceNow.What happens when the bug occurs? -The enemy team is placing a respawn beacon in an inaccessible location and respawning behind the players. This disrupts the balance and fair gameplay experience. -When it comes to the black screen issue, it forces you to restart the game after every match played.What should be happening instead? For the issue with the respawn beacon, the collision should not allow this. For the black screen issue after the match, the loading of the main menu should start. The reconn can place a respawn beacon outside of the map. I hope you fix this in the new update. Also, I hope you pay attention to the black screen issue, which I also made a video about.[Videos removed - Admin.]

This glitch not only allows the user to slip through any wall and appear behind the enemy, it also allows the user to move directly under each sector and seize the sector.Fortunately, I don't think the bullets will penetrate through the wall, but it is clear that the game will collapse.This problem was not fixed in today's game update.(Sorry. I'm not an English speaker so I used a translation.)

@ElliotLH I think people using this glitch by traversing underneath the map and capturing objectives are equally exploiting as it makes gameplay unfair.Point is, this glitch exists now probably since launch of the map, it should not take this long to acknowledge and deal with the issue, and meanwhile force people to go out of their way to keep reporting players. We just want to play the game!

@ElliotLHThere's one issue with this. How do you know who is actively using the exploit and should be reported? One person places the spawn beacon, but squadmates spawn on it and they might be unaware, which happened to me once. In that case I should have reported my teammate who placed the beacon, which I will do next time, but if it is the enemy how do you address the right person as I think it's a bit harsh to report people who used the glitch unintended?Although I do agree with the initial statement not to post descriptions and proof here to not draw any unwanted attention to this glitch, we are now at a point that it is in the game for too long. More and more people will encounter it and also people will search for it, it takes 0.28 sec to get results elsewhere.And so far I haven't seen even an official acknowledgement the issue is being investigated, let alone being worked on. Not on @BattlefieldComm via Twitter (X), nor on the known issues list.https://answers.ea.com/t5/Updates/Battlefield-2042-Known-Issues/m-p/10944776/highlight/true#M1 So addressing this directly to @TOTALfps , can we please get some attention for this and address it to the dev's?

@RanzigeRidder2 I've only been reporting the people who are actually coming through the walls and kill others, as that to me is the point they cross the line into exploiting the glitch. Since I've accidentally spawned on teammates doing it too and had to respawn, it doesn't feel right to report those people (not to mention that it'd be unlikely that I'd see their names anyway).

@J0HN_PIT0N Just 40-50 minutes ago saw another player doing this and was surprised. It seems that the beacon can be placed behind the wall almost anywhere with a tunnel descent. The next match was against a player who I saw doing this exploit. I had to go down under the textures and kill him, and then revive again and go to play normally until he again runs under the textures to point A. Not the most fun time. And maybe now I will also get reports from players for this, a questionable pleasure.

@CrispyPenguin420 Please don't post it here in case it draws attention to the exploit. If you can see the name of the person abusing the glitch then you can report them directly.

You should be able to report them to EA Help through the steps below:

1. On the EA Help homepage, type the title of your game or product into the search bar.
2. Choose your game from the search results.
3. Find I want to report another player by using the search bar.
4. Select Email us.
5. Fill in the webform and select Next.
6. Include the name of the player you want to report and explain why you’re reporting them in as much detail as you can.
7. Select Send and we’ll take it from there.

Nothing happens. I've 1,500 hours played, reported dozens of cheaters and, all I recieve is a mail from EA saying they did nothing.

@MEX_it_tk421 I didn't even get a mail, yesterday every game had a squad using this glitch! I really hope they have a fix for the next update.
