I actually managed to fix it. In Windows Defender, I copied the inbound rules that were automatically created for Battlefield 6 Open Beta by the EA App (Origin). They were for the anti-cheat - specifically for this exe:
"EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.exe" in steam game folder
I added separate rules for both TCP and UDP, and surprisingly... it worked! Or maybe they just fixed it :?

    Here’s the full list of things I tried (kind of annoying to describe because every time I try to paste a path or paste youtube url, the forum throws a "invalid HTML tag" error):

    1. Verified the beta files on Steam:
      Right-click game -> Properties -> Installed Files -> Verify integrity of game files
    2. DNS flush – followed this YouTube guide:
      Title: Fix "Unable to connect" Battlefield 2042 Error | Complete Guide (from 2:00 to 2:32)
    3. Added inbound rules in Windows Firewall:
      Windows Defender Firewall -> Advanced Settings -> Inbound Rules -> New Rule
      1. First rule:
        Custom rule
        Program path pointing to:
        path to EAAntiCheat GameServiceLauncher inside your steam stamapps common Glacier Events folder
        Protocol: TCP
        Leave scope as default (all)
        Action: Allow the connection
        Profile: Public only
        Name: Battlefield 6 Beta
      2. Second rule:
        Custom rule
        Program path pointing to:
        path to EAAntiCheat GameServiceLauncher inside your stamapps common Glacier Events folder
        Protocol: UDP
        Leave scope as default (all)
        Action: Allow the connection
        Profile: Public only
        Name: Battlefield 6 Beta
    4. Restarted my PC

    If it works for anyone else too, please confirm - would be good to know if it’s a reliable fix.
