List of issues with the game

Taken from a Reddit post summarising all the issues we have with the game, add anything else to the replies.

BATTLEFIELD 6 COMMUNITY COMPLAINTS SINCE OCT 10

# UX / UI / Menu / Loadout

* Main menu “Netflix-style” layout
* Horizontal tile scrolling awkward on PC
* Settings menu buried too deep, inconsistent structure
* Keybinds for menu actions (F / C / X) not customizable, can’t unbind actions can only reset to default
* Customization and skin menus confusing with unclear equip states
* Loadout and weapon customization require too many steps
* Cannot edit loadouts mid-session or between matches
* UI design favors controller navigation over mouse and keyboard. Not everything needs to look like Netflix.
* Menu transitions feel laggy or unresponsive
* Screen space poorly used, cramped visuals
* Placeholder or debug text in menus (“ID\_BOOTFLOW\_PRESS\_PLAY”)
* In-game player stats overview too shallow compared to [Tracker.gg](http://Tracker.gg) or external sites
* Unable to change reticle style or colour
* Server browser doesn’t remember basic settings like region
* Browse modes in lobby lack region, filters, and tags
* Browse modes ignore chosen maps or modes when transitioning to next match
* No option to favourite servers
* Keyword search input cannot be cleared properly without resetting filters
* After exiting a match, user is sent to main menu instead of server browser
* Cannot cancel or exit during map loading after accidentally joining
* Spawn reticle on the map screen sometimes drifts or snaps to the side when opened

# Gameplay / Combat / Mechanics

* Spawn points expose players instantly

# Rendering / Visual / Graphics

* Missing or invisible weapon models
* Graphical artifacts or broken VFX
* Excessive bloom or brightness indoors
* HUD clutter overlaps with gameplay info
* Kill feed and name tags difficult to read
* Poor visibility in darker areas
* AA tank and turret muzzle flash excessively bright and potentially seizure-inducing

# Performance / Stability / Network

* Rubber-banding and latency spikes
* Hit registration inconsistent
* Queue bug where match fails to load
* Matchmaking imbalance and skill disparity
* Random crashes or freezes
* FPS drops after long sessions
* Connection timeout when returning to menu

# Portal / Custom Games

* No option to set AI bot difficulty in custom game modes
* Limited configuration options for server rules and modifiers
* Missing admin tools for moderating custom matches

# Campaign / Single-Player

# Misc / Quality of Life

* Challenge and reward tracking unclear
* Cosmetics missing unlock descriptions
* Spawn selector jumps to wrong location

    Suppression is absurdly weak and I have to put down a half a clip of LMG to get one simple suppression. We need to go back to battlefield 1 where suppression actually mattered it's really depressing and extremely aggravating trying to get 300 suppressions in the last 2 days I've gotten 25 suppressions!

    Unknown Error code 1:85009S

    Users (myself included) will get this error message after being kicked from a server. This happens every match about 5-10 minutes into the player being in the server. Any suggestions found online up to this point have been tested and do not work. This seems to be an issue on EA’s end. The game has been basically unplayable to anyone experiencing these issues.
