[INFO] Battlefield 6 – Open Beta Known Issues

This is a repost of the original message from the studios team.

This section will contain known issues that we feel the need to highlight and should be seen as a list that we aim to update over time and be your one go-to place for known bugs and issues related to the Battlefield 6 Open Beta.

Open Beta represents a game in active development; as such, you may expect some performance or gameplay-related issues as we continue to develop Battlefield 6 ahead of its launch on October 10th.

Soldier:

• The primary weapon deploy function is currently delayed during sprint
• Players are unable to ping enemies when they are using stationary weapons
• Sometimes, a takedown is not performed even if the prompt is present in HUD
• The player is currently unable to ping or spot whilst in any vehicle
• Users transition to the first perspective if they redeploy while driving from an open-seat vehicle
• Character attach to the zipline and riding animations are currently work in progress
• Spamming the mount weapon function will exit a player from prone if they are in prone
• Aim assist when the player is close to smoke is work in progress
• The player can sink into the ground after reviving a teammate

Weapons and Gadgets:

• All barrel slot attachments have a placeholder in the description
• All machine gun weapons have a placeholder in the description
• Several weapons' back iron sight clip through the camera when firing in ADS if customized with some scopes
• Incorrect names are present for Scopes in Loadout

Weapon Recoil in Open Beta

Early Access and Open Beta use the same build as the Multiplayer Reveal Event, and we want to acknowledge that we’re aware of some of the feedback around weapon recoil patterns. While not present within the Open Beta, a series of balance passes have already taken place around Weapon Recoil; however, they were not able to be included in the Open Beta build in time.

The team is consistently paying attention to feedback around all things weapons, and we’ll continue to keep players updated at a later point about more details specific to weapon balancing and gameplay.

UI/UX:

• The 'Close Map' button is non-functional upon opening the map in-game
• Soldier supply providers are missing an animation
• Settings which feature slider UI elements are currently work in progress and will be refined
• Out of bounds elements for air vehicles (diagonal stripes) are not present on the Capstone overview map
• The icon for a Spotted Vehicle is not currently present
• Game Mode Widget objective icons disappear while having selected another user who leaves the server
• Pick up prompt is missing on some gadgets
• The ability to bind crouch to a different key away from C is currently not functioning as intended, even if you rebound a different key C will still function as crouch.
• A UI issue is causing challenge progression to appear reset between rounds or after restarting the client. Actual progress is not affected.

Maps & Modes:

• Distorted VFX or mirage/water effects can be seen in the Firing Range for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC
• Capstone has some missing lighting elements, causing darker than intended areas
• Barbed wire throughout the Capstone does not damage or slow the player
• Zipline ropes don't have a proper texture

Settings & Functionality:

• The Big Map opacity slider within settings is not functional
• Dual Sense's vibration is currently not functioning via Bluetooth

Client:

• Upon loading the Open Beta on PlayStation 5 some users may experience a "ID OptionsModify" screen, this is due to a language not being the same as intended for this Open Beta version.

We advise the following workaround to resolve this issue:

1. Delete your install of Battlefield Open Beta.
2. Delete the Saved Data attached to that install.
3. Change your console language to English.
4. Freshly reinstall the Battlefield Open Beta and get on the Battlefield.

• Players on Xbox Series X|S are currently unable to record, capture, or stream the Open Beta.
• Turning off the EA app overlay may cause performance issues. We recommend keeping the overlay enabled when playing through the EA app.

Crash Awareness:

• Players may experience a crash on the splash screen, which states “D3D12CreateDevice” failed.
• This can be resolved by repairing the game.
• Players may experience a crash on the splash screen without any errors.
• You need to disable Force randomization for images (Mandatory ASLR) globally or add an exception for bf6event.exe:
• Disable globally (requires PC restart):
• Open Windows Security → App & browser control → Exploit protection settings – Under System settings, turn Force randomization for images (Mandatory ASLR) Off
• Restart your PC and launch the game again.

Update your Drivers:

• Ensure you update the drivers of your system to ensure you have the latest installed.
• Intel just updated their drivers for GPUs: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/785597/intel-arc-iris-xe-graphics-windows.html

This is not a definitive list, and we will work to update this with additional issues as the Early Access and Open Beta unfold.
