Can’t equip dogtags. (PS4)

Hi everyone, this is the second time I’m asking for an explanation, why can’t I equip unlocked dogtags in Battlefield V? I go on a dogtag that I’ve unlocked, i press square to equip and nothing happens, the checkmark never appears, however the checkmark is always present on the empty dogtag (the dogtag assigned to every player) aka the standard one. Why is this happening? I’ve never experienced such a simple and unsolvable bug, Battlefield 1 was 200 times more stable than V at dayone imma be honest. Is this bug fixable?

    When you're in the game and under the dog tag section, do you tap "Square" after selecting the dog tag to confirm equipping it? It's a two step process (Select the one you want and then confirm).

    Do you have the game installed on the internal or an external hard drive? If you have the game installed on an external hard drive, make sure there aren't files on both the internal and external drive. That can cause some weird performance issues.

    Have you tried a reinstall? I'm concerned an update might have corrupted files. So far we don't have too many reports coming our way about this and with how popular dog tags are for Battlefield players I'd imagine we would see a lot more reports on this if it was widespread. Can you reinstall to confirm it's still affecting your account after performing that step?

    Nearly two years later and it’s still bugged out. Reinstalled and everything, still can’t equip them. No matter how many times you select the dog tag then mash equip it will not change.

    There is a more recent thread discussing this issue (https://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-V/I-cant-use-my-Dog-Tags-on-battlefield-V/td-p/10142471/page/2), so you should rather post there instead of reopening this 3 year ols thread.

    As one of our forum heros stated: EA is aware of the issue.🙂

    Correct.  As the issue of not being able to equip dogtags started happening recently, you should post in the recent thread as was said above.
