[STEAM] BF6 Beta client Connection Failed Before Server Maintenance Of Aug. 6

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 :?

I have reviewed call outgoing and incoming connections when launching the game; nothing is being blocked, so technically game is free to connect to EA servers, This must be AUTH issue with linking 

yeah, I'm having the exact same issue. Seems like it's got something to do with linking your EA account to Steam. Funny thing is, if I download the game through the EA app, it works just fine but then it's a pain to play with friends. And of course, the QR code link they gave just leads to a dead page now Classic...

I even tried following some of the Battlefield 2042 troubleshooting guides, but no luck

as of now i am still getting the error

will i still be able to play tomorrow though

I have this issue as well. Steam overlay pops up to ask for authenticator for two-factor, but the overlay is non-response (I can't click on anything). So it fails and says you can't connect to server.

Is there a way to fix the non-responsive Steam Overlay?

I had the same problem，can you help me fix it？

Im pretty sure they are. I was gonna try to relink but it said something about a 12 month waiting period for relinking accounts so I didn't do it

I did suspect EA to Steam linking issue as 2042 wasnt listed on my list of games when I bought it on steam. I have relinked the account but bf6 beta never appeared with a Steam label in the EA app library. (dunno if it should)

Just to test I have installed 2042 via steam and it then appeared in EA Library as a Steam title. but in any case relinking the account did not fix the error. 

Skatesteak​ Yeah, doubt it is server maintenance related, a weird edge case indeed.

Bingouse​ Hmm, very odd indeed. Are you sure that your EA account and Steam account are correctly linked?
