BF6 on PS5: I cannot do anything except play the campaign.

I experienced the exact same thing during the beta, and I hoped I would be actually playing the game now. I've got about 55 minutes worth of "playtime" on PlayStation 5 and I have not played online yet at all. If I choose a mode or it will act like it's going to start the match, and then return me to the lobby instantly. I've been told to change my NAT type to 1 but all of my other multiplayer games have worked without me needing to do that at all. Went to play Battlefield 4 for a few moments and it worked fine . I did not pay $70 to play the menus. I've been waiting for this game all year, and it upsets me how everyone else can enjoy it whereas I'm about to get a refund because I can't. This exact same issue persisted for me during the beta as well, and I couldn't even experience it then. And it even happens if I go to empty servers. Kicks me right out.

  • I've got exactly the same issue. Had it during the Beta too. Super disappointing. If anyone knows of or finds a fix please let me know.

    I was able to get into a initiation breakthrough match earlier, but after trying again later with Conquest, the same thing started happening again. I'm over it. I'm going to try and get a refund.

    I got into a match for a few minutes last night after playing menus with my friends in the party. Restarted when I thought it was fixed and continued to have the same issue. My friend joined a match every time. When I tried to join him, it still said that he was in my party. I've tried deleting the multiplayer aspects of the game in the library and reinstalling them and still no joy. What's really frustrating is that there is no error code or acknowledgement that it's not working. Start a game, some time goes by, the avatar stands up, music changes, black screen then a battlefield splash screen and returned to lobby... Expected so much more. Been playing the series of games for nearly 20 years. Battlefield, Battlefield 2,3,4. Bad Company etc etc...properly let down!

  • Okay...after deleting the multiplayer aspects of the ps5 download and reinstalling them and resetting the network connection on my ps5 and going to wired from wireless and back again, changing nat settings from 2 to 1 and then back to 2...none of that fixed the issue.... However a reset of my modem and restart of my full mesh WiFi system and logging into EA online seems to have fixed the issue. Well, for now anyway. Hopefully it was just a full reset of my home network that was needed. I'll post again tomorrow if it's still working.
