Loading screen loop
Product: Battlefield 2042 Platform:PC Please specify your platform model. PC AMD or Nvidia Model Number RXT 3080 Enter RAM memory size in GB 32 Are you using any software with an overlay? Yes I...
Sorry, late reply.
Unfortunately yes, and @darkmadcat1 is on the money. When the Season splash screen doesn't show up at the start that is usually a good indicator that it is going to happen.
I will say it does appear to be happening a little less frequently from what I remember.
Nothing out of the ordinary, all wired and stable connection.
Ill be honest, I dont actually think I have had it happen once in Season 2.....
Spoke too soon, just got it again :-(
My working theory behind this issue is that the title sequence (splash screen & text etc) are objects that are failing to load for some reason (duh).
Initially I thought this may be DNS related, however after monitoring using several methods (wireshark, sysmon, netmon, switching DNS providers etc) this doesn't appear to be the case. No DNS failures, NXDOMAIN's or anything like that.
Ive also tried decrypting the traffic between my client, specifically outgoing/incoming HTTPS requests but it doesn't look like the title sequence is loaded over HTTPS so sadly nothing there.
Holding off trying to figure this out any further as I am mildly worried all these attempts to intercept the game data may trigger something with EAC.
Is someone able to comment on how the title sequence is loaded? If it is live (ie over the network) or from the local disk, it may help figure out what is causing this randomly as its really hard to replicate this problem :-(
