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.
