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
If yes, can you list them here? GeForce Experience, Corsair iCUE
If you disable this software, does that have any effect? No
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Game Menu
In which game menu were you when the bug occurred? None, when the game loads
Please select your region Australia
On which server did this happen? N/A
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) About 25-50% of the time
Summarize your bug When starting the game, often the splash text of "Connecting to Online Services" never shows up. The game never actually loads when this happens, I could wait 10 minutes but it just cycles through the various splash animations.
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? It is a bit random, I have not worked out how to reproduce the issue.
What happens when the bug occurs? I have to ALT + F4 to force the game to close. If I start the game immediately afterwards, it usually works.
What should be happening instead? Obviously it should just load correctly the first time....

Two images attached. One showing what happens:

  • @Rokebo73 since these issues started, i have completely wiped and re-installed windows twice, and also used a new drive entirely.

    Its not windows, and its not a disk issue. Others are having this problem.

    It is happening to me very very frequently. A lot of time repairing files works, but if I close the game and try to rerun it, this loop happens again. Repairing doesn't help all the time though. This is probably the only game in existence that is doing this.

    Another checking in with the issue since the last patch.

    As with others if I don't see the new season splash screen I just ctrl / alt / delete instantly.

    Almost always loads on the 2nd go around but there have been a few time a complete shut down / restart has been required.

    Now the game is also hanging / freezing after exiting a map before the end. I get a black screen and that's it.

    Going to need a macro for Ctrl / alt / delete...........

  • Bought game via steam.

    Had the same issue.

    Slapped it from HDD on my SSD - issue resolved.
