BF V disabling Wi-Fi connection - Only fix is a PC restart
Hi everyone,
I’m running Windows 11 on an ASUS ROG STRIX X870E-E GAMING WIFI motherboard. I just bought the game yesterday, and so far, it’s been a nightmare.
Every time I launch the game, my Wi-Fi adapter completely breaks. Closing the game does nothing, and even disabling/re-enabling the adapter via Device Manager fails to restore the connection. The hardware stays unresponsive until I perform a full system restart.
This is clearly a conflict between the anti-cheat and the drivers/firmware of newer high-end boards like the X870E. There are dozens of threads regarding this exact issue (see links below), yet no permanent fix has been deployed.
Can the dev team actually look into this bug instead of suggesting the usual "clear your cache" or "reinstall drivers" nonsense? It is a game-breaking issue for anyone on this platform.
