Hazard Zone freezes on map load
When trying to start Hazard Zone it freezes in the map loading screen of discarded. Also it's 100% this map and always crashes. This happens for me and also for freinds, since today.

@cheofdoom Same here, multiple reboots don’t help either. Ended up logging-out last night due to this.

Community ManagerHey folks, just wanting to check is it happening for both of you *only* on Discarded?
If you are on PC can you try running a repair of the game and letting me know if that makes a difference.
- @EA_Rtas Hi 👋
I’m on PS5, and yes, it’s only happening on Discarded…all other maps are unaffected (for me, anyway). I am having similar issue, mine is just infinitely loading, its not frozen, but never loads. I have tried multiple times and sat on loading screen for 15min with nothing and have to alt f4 out everytime.
- @EA_Rtas It’s now “frozen” on Exposure.
Tried restarting the game multiple times, Hazard Zone won’t initiate any map but Exposure…which hangs on the picture of the mountains and trees, with the little cross at the bottom spinning.
Everyone must be off making sure the next BF game is going to be fantastic, huh?
🙄🥸 - @EA_Rtas Restarted the game again, turned cross play off.
Managed to get into a PS5-only lobby on Breakaway. Unfortunately only 2 of us in the lobby (you can’t get enough players unless you turn cross play on these days).
Left that lobby, turned cross play on again, selected Hazard Zone, game is hanging again on Exposure
💤- EA_Rtas@FredneyBadoing Thanks for letting me know, I'll get this passed on to the team to be investigated.
Any solutions? I have this issue from yesterday!
infinit loading in every maps, hasard zone is broken, i just reinstalled the game like a week or so
I hawe tried repair and reinstall, it didnt make a difference
and recently the game crashes alot
For me deleting the cache folder at AppData\Local\BattlefieldGameData.kin-release.Win32\cache (or similar, I had two) solved the issue!
i tried yesterday! and I did nothing special just retry for fun HZ and fir attemps it was still at the infinit loading map screen, so i force ctrl alt delete to close the game, restart and tried again, and miracle, i did play like 5-6 game in a row without any problem... so i dont know if EA did a bugfix or somwething..
good luck my friend!
Hanging on Discarded on tonight’s attempt to play : /
Funny thing is I just had the same issue again, with Discarded too. Deleting the cache didnt help this time. Maybe it never helped in the first place and its a server related issue?
I’ve no idea - I’m on PS5 so there’s nothing I can do about it, cache-wise.
I managed to get on Hazard zone last night with no issues.
It’d be nice to get a reply from an EA rep
It happens on different maps and on consoles as well. It has been failing for a month now.
Today, Saturday, October 19, for 6 hours now, Hazard Zone has been closed to play in the United States.
