Why can't I switch Seats in any vehicle?

Product: Battlefield 2042
Platform:PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
AMD or Nvidia Model Number NVidia RTX 3060
Enter RAM memory size in GB 64
Are you using any software with an overlay? Yes
If yes, can you list them here? GeForce Experiance
If you disable this software, does that have any effect? No
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Multiplayer
Which part of the mode? Conquest
Please select your region North America
On which server did this happen? All
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) everyday
Summarize your bug When I 1st installed the game I could switch seats by using the default keys. Then at some point not sure when I couldn't. All it lets me do is enter the vehicle using the "E" key. When I do this it only lets me sit in the seat it defaults me to when I enter the vehicle. Switch to a different seat does not work.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I tried changing the key assignments but that made no difference. So I reset the key assignments back to default. That did not work either. So I uninstalled the game and reinstalled it and I still have the same issue. I also made sure my windows updates are current and I have the latest drivers for my Graphics Card, Motherboard Chipset and running the latest version of the DirectX Driver .
What happens when the bug occurs? I can't change to a different seat in the vehicle.
What should be happening instead? I should be able to switch seats in the vehicle

Not sure what I would put here. My issue does not crash the system I only have limited functionality.

  • Yes all vehicles is the same. Doesn't matter what vehicle I get into, I cannot change seats.

  • Still having this issue, never received anymore help on it.

    I even created a Support Ticket and didn't get anywhere with it.

    Tomorrow I'm installing a new Graphics card. I currently run a nVidia RTX 3060, the new card is a AMD RX 7900XT 20GB. This should fix most of my issues. If not I will have to format my drive and start over. I'm an engineer by trade. Not looking at reinstalling and setting up my 3D modeling software again and all my VPN stuff for work. But if it fixes the problems it's worth it.

  • I know this is working on its 3rd year old but hopefully this can be record for everyone else; I finally went into my settings for key bindings on general tab and F1 through F6 switched gunner positions in vehicles.
