Community ManagerHey folks, we have posted an update on this issue here: Update on Early Access Keys
I am going to mark this as solution for Visabilty purposes.
Like title says, I cant play the BF6 open Beta despite me pre-ordering and being able to download the beta itself.
I sat through hour of queue time and the menus bugged
So I verified the files and waited again. Now after doing all that, it says I need early access and now I can't play.
Starting to regret paying for the Phantom Edition...
PS: Classes and Firing Range work...
Same thing happening here, tried to reboot the PC, still getting the same thing.
Yeah man, it sucks. I'm gonna ask for a refund if this doesn't get fixed. I really wanted those beta skins :c
H1ve_Minded There was nothing to fix. Pre-ordering the game gave you nothing in regards to the beta, nowhere on their websites or articles do they say that pre-ordering has anything to do with early access to the beta. I guess after you pre-ordered it, they invited you to the beta... not early access, because like I said pre-ordering is nowhere listed on their website as a means to get early access or even the beta itself. At this point, the beta is open to everyone regardless if you pre-ordered the game or not, and you can still get the same beta skins that started in early access.
Very upsetting, let's see what happens in a few hours.
Pretty sure pre-ordering does not get you early access. In fact, pre-ordering the game has nothing to do with the beta in general, as the beta becomes free for anyone Aug. 9. Anyway, according to the BF6 article, these are the only ways you can get early access:
Early access opens on August 7 at 8:00 UTC (1AM PT)
So, pre-ordering the game does not grant you early access, or any exclusive beta access.
Even though lots of us can download the beta and it says on steam that I was invited to play?
Assuming that means early access too
I have been signed up to Battlefield Labs for a few months now. I was able to access to the game earlier today just briefly. I was able to get to rank 3. Now I am login back on and everything is locked. It say I need early access lol. Something is definitely wrong!
So I cam ask for a refund since I can not platy the bf6beta even though I paid for phantom bf6
I am EA Play Pro subscriber and it still says i need early access... All Modes Locked...
itsDavgee That one I'm not sure about, I've seen some other people on here that have been having issues with that. It clearly states on their lock and load article that EA Play Pro subscribers should be able to partake in early access. Probably need an EA response for that one, maybe they commented on someone else's with the same issue, not sure.
I'm having the issue that I don't have Early Access even though I've been in Battlefield Labs since 2021, so in theory Should have access. Yet I don't and I'm pretty confused about that.
Community ManagerTurning off replies since the thread has been answered.
ehh idk. Seems kinda like an issue that needs fixing not so much questions that need answering.
This is very much an issue for people who were invited to Early Access. I have been unable to play regardless of having both EA Pro AND getting the early access invite email from signing up for BF Labs back in Feb. This is awful :(
Agreed. Same issue.
What's the fix then? I'm in ps5
I have been invited too, I even played some games this morning. Closed the game, reopened and "Requires early access" 🤔
Just had the same issue. Not sure what launcher you are using. If you're on steam. I re-logged the EA app via steam. Launched and now i'm back in. All unlocked.
Same i have been signed up to lagbs for months and got the mail confirming the early access to the beta and all modes are locked stating i require early access. trying this on steam and the accounts have been linked for ages did not change in the slightest and i even checked to see that they were a few days ago when i got that email.
i wonder what platform people are playing on who have this problem, is this for people on steam only or the same for the ea app?
