Cannot Start Any RedSec Match – Black Screen & BF6 Logo
Hey everyone,
I’ve been running into a persistent issue with Battlefield 6 RedSec on Xbox and wanted to see if anyone else has experienced it.
Here’s what happens: when I select any RedSec game mode (for example, BR Duos) and hit “Start,” the screen first goes black, then shows the Battlefield 6 logo. Sometimes my character actually stands up like it’s supposed to when starting a match, but the menu reappears while he’s still standing there, and I can try to start a match again — but it just loops the same behavior. This happens in all RedSec modes I’ve tried so far, including Initiation Battle Royale with bots. No error code ever appears.
Here’s everything I’ve tried so far to fix it:
Restarted Xbox and router multiple times.
Fully reinstalled Battlefield 6 / RedSec.
Changed Xbox region.
Turned crossplay on/off
Used VPN (Germany, UK, Sweden) via mobile hotspot.
Unlinked and relinked my EA account.
Cleared local saved data and reserved space.
Checked for Xbox system and game updates.
Everything else in the game works fine — menus, settings, etc. It’s specifically starting a match that fails.
I’m starting to think it’s a server-side issue or something wrong with my EA account’s RedSec entitlement/session token, because nothing local seems to fix it.
Has anyone else seen this? Any workarounds that actually let you start a match? Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks!
