String Error (ID_BOOTFLOW_PRESS_PLAY etc.) on PS5

Just launched the Battlefield 6 Open Beta on my PS5 Pro and encountered text issues. Menu texts appear as placeholders (ID_BOOTFLOW_PRESS_PLAY, ID_OPTIONS_MODIFY) or are completely missing. At one point, I'm unable to proceed any further. I’ve tried reinstalling the game, but the problem persists.

Here are the screenshots about the issue:

 

The text for the buttons are missing here too (Agree and Disagree, i guess...)

At this point, I'm unable to proceed further, tried pressing every button, but it's just stay at this menu

    INFO – Marked As Solution For Visibility

    Hi all,

    Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We’ve passed it on to the relevant teams for further investigation. I’m not sure if it will be addressed during the early access open beta or the regular open beta, as it may require a new build of the beta client, but it is definitely on our radar. We appreciate your help in flagging this!

    ‼️ In the meantime, we encourage anyone experiencing this issue to report it and include the original language setting of your console, as this information is very helpful for our investigation. ‼️

    Workaround:

    A workaround that appears to resolve the issue is:

    1. Change your PS5 system language to English (United States)
    2. Restart your console
    3. Fully reinstall the game


    This should allow you to access the game.

    We apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience. See you on the Battlefield!

    I found a workaround for this issue:

    1. - Change the PS5 system language to English (United States)  
    2. - Restart the console
    3. - Fully reinstall the game  

    After doing this, all the text appeared correctly and I was able to access the main menu.  

    However, I would prefer to use my console in my native language, so I hope this bug gets fixed soon or at least before the official launch.

    Hi!

    When this "text issue" was happening, my Console was set to Hungarian language, so I assume the game tried to switch to Hungarian as well, but since the game does not support this language, no text or only placeholders were shown.

    I had the same problem with the closed beta. 

    Have tried to delete all the files and download it again but it still looks the same. What could I do? 

     

    Someone els who have the same problem? 

     

    I have Swedish as console language.

    So in anticipation of my early access through Labs of the open Beta I downloaded and installed it on my PS5. I clicked through the user agreement and such and also got the 2 factor prompt to login with my EA account. 
    but then I get stuck with this screen. It seems a menu but labels are missing, and I can’t move on. I’ve already removed and reinstalled the client with no success
