Steam guide for anyone still encountering this problem on how to fix it:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3584795654
I FIXED IT, OR MAYBE IT FIXED ITSELF
- First exit Steam.
- Then you need to remove the manifest file for BF6. It looks like this 'appmanifest_2807960.acf'. You will find this file in the SteamApps folder, which is inside the Steam folder on which ever drive you installed the game.
- Do not uninstall BF6, just remove the manifest file.
- Then start Steam.
- Steam will show BF6 as installable. This is normal.
- Then install BF6, Steam will verify the existing game files.
- If it doesn't work, RESTART Steam, it will then work and the Play Button will show.
It does a small 512B update, then just says Game Not Released, and continues to do this over and over.
Tried restarting Steam.
Tried clearing download cache.

Moving the game manually to a different drive partition seems to have helped? Now have a 356mb update. I had to move it manually, taking the game's Steam folder and the manifest file since Steam won't move a game that needs an update.

It's still saying Game not Released.

This worked for me, thanks. I'm guessing the manifest file gets messed up when you choose to uninstall campaign and hd packs in game.
