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).

Summarize your bug Was playing a game of Redacted and noticed that a player kept getting behind a wall of players and killing us all. The first time I thought it was just a flank. The second time, I felt something up. The third fourth and even more I found that they were glitching through a wall between the B/C cap on the southern side of the map (directions are based off the spawn map pov)
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I'm not sure how to glitch through the wall, I had it happen to me a few times on another game but I only had it happen via spawning on a beacon though I cannot say this is the way. Though once you get into the wall, you only need a way to spawn in there again and again. Be it a player or a spawn beacon. You can run through the walls no problem. You cannot shoot past the walls only run past them.
What happens when the bug occurs? It completely breaks the point of the balance of the game. If a team is holding the way of B<->C cap points, having anyone go glitch through the wall, place a spawn beacon, grab points while under the mesh (assuming because this game is coded like shit), and just pop out where they please, you might as well just let anyone pick their spawn point on an XYZ basis.
What should be happening instead? The people inside the wall should be banned permanently. But If you don't want to go that path, make it an instant death if they get inside the mesh.

I would provide a file but it's too large to place in. Therefore, I am adding a YouTube link to the video. *Snip*

@ElliotLH It’s good that we finally have official acknowledgement that this glitch gets fixed, fingers crossed.

Yet, early December is still 2 weeks away, the issue is rampant now in the Conquest Redacted server. Dice needs to put out a strong deterrent to these exploiters to keep it playable.

@RanzigeRidder2 Yes, some harsh punishment sooner rather than later would be good to see.
