Xbox Series S | Black Screen Bug + Disconnects + Cheaters — Full Breakdown

Hey EA / DICE,

I’ve put real money and real time into Battlefield 6. And with every single update, I regret it a little more. Here’s my honest breakdown of what’s broken — I’d love to know if anyone else is dealing with the same.

🔴 1. RANDOM DISCONNECTS

The game kicks me out of sessions constantly with zero explanation. Stable internet, based in Poland, Xbox Series S. Not my problem — yours. The worst part? It happens right at the START of a Battle Royale match. You queue, wait, load in… and get booted before the round even begins. Mood absolutely destroyed.

🔴 2. BLACK SCREEN TEXTURE BUG (Xbox Series S)

Mid-match, everything goes pitch black. Sky, buildings, ground, players — all gone, replaced by a black void with silhouettes. I’ve cleared cache, reinstalled the game, reset every setting. Nothing works. And it comes back after EVERY update. This is a AAA game in 2025. This should not be happening.

🔴 3. THE "NEW UNLOCK" BADGE THAT NEVER GOES AWAY

There’s a notification badge on my weapons saying I have new unlocks. I’ve checked everything. Multiple times. It’s still there. It’s a small thing but it drives me crazy every single session. Is there a way to clear it? If not — please add one.

🔴 4. QUITTERS IN BATTLE ROYALE RANKED

Teammate gets eliminated — they leave. Immediately. No redeploy for me, no support, match effectively over. This happens constantly in Ranked. Other BR games have leave penalties. Why doesn’t BF6? Especially in a mode where rank is on the line, this is a massive problem.

🔴 5. CHEATERS — AND TOTAL SILENCE FROM EA

The cheating situation is out of control. Perfect aim, wallhacks, impossible precision — every other lobby. I report. Others report. Nothing happens. No bans communicated, no updates on anti-cheat, nothing. On console, Cronus Zen and similar devices are everywhere — you’ve banned them officially but can’t detect them in practice. If you can’t keep Ranked clean, why does Ranked exist?

I’m not here to just complain — I genuinely want this game to be good. But right now it’s moving in the wrong direction with every patch. Anyone else experiencing these issues? And any word from the devs on any of this?

    I like to pick up the cheater point - i see this all the time. Real people have kd maybe 1-2 if they are doing well but you see lots of people wiuth kd at 7,8,9 impossibly high without some sort of assist.

    100% agree with you. A real player, even a very good one, sits around KD 1-2. Maybe 3 if they are absolutely cracked. But KD 7, 8, 9? In a game like this? That’s not skill — that’s a device or software doing the work for you.

    And honestly, what is even the point? You didn’t earn it. You didn’t outplay anyone. You just... pressed a button and let a machine aim for you. What kind of satisfaction is that? How empty must your wins feel knowing every kill was handed to you?

    Using cheats in a multiplayer game isn’t just breaking rules — it’s actively ruining the experience for real people who are sitting there trying to improve, grinding ranked, putting in actual effort. You are stealing their time. You are making the game worse for everyone around you.

    It’s one of the lowest things you can do in gaming. Full stop.

    EA needs to take this seriously. The stats don’t lie — if your system can’t flag a KD of 9 for review, something is fundamentally broken in your anti-cheat logic.
