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.
Forum Discussion
Just played 2 games of Hazard zone, then the map rotated onto Orbital and the game is hung…
Any EA reps about?
Or hibernating for winter?
This has been going on for weeks now. Every other day, the map gets stuck. It's usually the east coast servers.
- @Amazotron (i'm on PC). i deleted my two cache folders down in AppData, started the game, went into HZ, and am hung on Discarded. i'll offer my help in debugging this issue. i'm a developer (not a game developer), so if you need logs turned on or things like that, let me know.
Even if it's noble I don't think they would hand you something that's proprietary. I don't think the devs care about the issue obviously, my guess is that they switch server for cheaper ones.
So long and thanks for the fish
yes, either cheaper servers or maybe something in their backend goes to sleep if none is playing or very few people are playing and its not properly booting back up? no idea
This is a bummer. I’m trying to get all the trophies in the game but this is holding me back.
And still broken. Normally I'd see at least 100 players in HZ on any given night.
Tonight for the first time in 2.5 years, it is 0. There are no friends on my list playing HZ.
We played a little last night through contortions - at least 2 of the squad needed to be VPN'ed
to the west coast servers, and if Discarded came up, you had to leave game before it tried to
load.
Congratulations, EA. You have killed Hazzard Zone.
Radio silence from EA?
No wonder they get slated.
But hey, the next BF incarnation will be great, right?
🤦♂️
- @FredneyBadoing QAuestion, deleting cache from bf2042 doesnt solve this issue?
C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\BattlefieldGameData.kin-release.Win32
Delete the cache folder or get into the cache folder and delete the content of it.
Update us please ! I’m on PS5.
I’ve Googled clearing the cache on PS5, it mentions rebuilding the database and / or ensuring files are backed-up to an external drive before doing so, etc.
What’s been changed by EA to cause these issues? Any clue?
Are you advocating this cache clearing for console users who’re suffering these issues?
- @FredneyBadoing for pc and consoles! so it will download ne cache files during gaming , to make sure they are clean and update !
Ok 👍
I’m on holiday atm, I’ll give it a try once I’m home.
Thank you 😀
I tried both deleting the folder and deleting the content and it didn't fix it.
I’m glad to hear it hasn’t worked, vis-a-vis some EA shill might actually reply when they admit it’s a change they’ve made which is causing the issue for everyone.
They’ll be reading this, it’s only adding fuel to the fire that the next game will be riddled with issues, and they aren’t worried about sorting this one, so how good will the next one be?
