Vehicle Customisation Resets after every Loadout Selection Bug

Product: Battlefield 2042
Platform:Xbox Series X
Please specify your platform model. Microsoft Xbox Series X
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Multiplayer
Which part of the mode? Breakthrough
Please select your region Australia
On which server did this happen? Official Dice Server
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) Since Early Access Launch
Summarize your bug All vehicle customisation selections reset back to default every time the “can’t select load outs and gadgets” bug happens in multiplayer.
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Enter a multiplayer match, 50%-100% of the time the loadout screen will not let player select load out or gadgets. When this happens, go to vehicle customisation and you will find that all your preselected vehicle options have reverted back to default and you will need to select your preferences again.
What happens when the bug occurs? All my preselected vehicle customisation selections revert back to default
What should be happening instead? Should be keeping my selected customisation options as they are and not resetting to default.

This problem has been happening on the majority of matches since early access launch. 
This issue is almost game breaking as far as I’m concerned. I do not want to play when this occurs.
As you would be aware, loadout selection is a crucial part of battlefield and not having it work is unacceptable.
I have purchased the top tier ultimate edition of the game and expect something as crucial as loadout selection to work.

thank you for your time.

    Happening for me on PC too...the frustration is real

  • Don't be sad, this is working like this sometimes. They just want us vehicle users to feel nostalgic, when you started playing the game. Planes vs ground vehicles and aircrafts? Nope, only noob helis..

  • Reached out to EA support directly and they at first copy and pasted some fixes like clearing origin cache, uninstalling and reinstalling origin, running ccleaner, flushing DNS...and get this doing a clean boot of windows.  After laughing for a few minutes at the absurdity of their 'fixes', I replied requesting elevation of the case, and they said they would let the dev team know, but not to expect a response, and to do a bug report on these forums.

    I've noticed a pattern that it seems to happen to those who uninstalled the game and reinstalled at some point. This leads me to think it's their server preventing loadout changes in the database hosting this info.  Maybe they changed the permissions of the database for those that uninstalled and someone forgot to write the code to enable write permissions to those that reinstalled.  Just speculative, but seems likely.
