Cant use text chat

We use to have an ongoing thread on the Battlefield forums that was kept up to date with words, phrases, and usernames that are incorrectly blocked by the BFV chat filter.  EA was aware of this thread and was actively reporting these to Dice in order to get them fixed.  Unfortunately EA shut down the old Battlefield forums a few months ago and I assume that thread has been lost.

With that said, what you're experiencing is an error with the AI controlled chat filter.  It's extremely buggy in this game, and even blocks the name of the game itself from being said.  "BF5" is blocked if you type it in chat lol.  I can't guarantee this will ever be fixed since support for the game ended in early 2020, but hopefully someone from EA can fix this so you can communicate in the game you've payed for.

Thank you for letting us know. We're continually monitoring these forums for unusual cases where the profanity filter needs a closer look. I am usually found on the Madden NFL and NHL forums, we're seeing some examples there we pass along too. If we hear any updates on this we'll be sure to share it with you. 

@Beneffit In case it helps there's one here too: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-V/In-game-Chat-Filter-Feedback/m-p/9118539#M68191

There were a couple of others as well, like the one from the old forums being re-created here, but I think they've been merged together.

I have this problem since April. I've had to change my username just so I chat in game. None of the support people were able to fix it, although we all know that it is caused by the profanity filter and I even know the prohibited word ("mr4d" in my case).
