In-game chat currently not working – possible connection to chat/filter system?

Hello everyone,

for the past few days (around 3–4 days in my case), I’ve been unable to send messages in the Battlefield V in-game chat.

Detailed behavior:

  • The in-game chat window is visible and can be opened normally
  • I can see messages from other players
  • I can type text into the chat input
  • However, my own messages do not appear in the chat and seem not to be sent at all

So this is not a complete chat outage or a UI issue, but specifically a problem where outgoing messages are not transmitted, even though the chat itself is working.

At this point, it seems unlikely that this is related to individual community servers. Instead, it appears to be a technical issue on EA’s or the client’s side. A possible connection to the chat or profanity filter system is noticeable:

  • Changing my player name allowed me to use the chat briefly
  • After restarting the game, the issue returned
  • I’m aware of multiple other players currently experiencing the same problem
  • This also affects players with completely neutral, non-offensive names

If there have been recent changes to the chat or filter system, they may currently not be functioning correctly and could be unintentionally blocking legitimate players.

My questions:

  • Are other players experiencing this issue as well?
  • Are there any known workarounds on the player side?
  • Or is this clearly an EA / DICE issue that requires a server- or client-side fix?

Thanks for any feedback or shared experiences.

Best regards

    I am from Long Island and I'm I am on battlefield 2042 on an Xbox One s and I have the same chat text issue. After a match when I try to write something it appears in the top left corner but then I get this error message to the right top corner. I erased the game off of my console and reinstalled it and the problem is still there. Used to work fine then 3 weeks ago just stopped. Today is February 24th 2026. I would appreciate EA fixing this. Other than that fantastic game. It takes up way too much of my time I love it

  • Hi Marcinowicz and mentos6669,

    Just wanted to let you know that I've merged your posts with this larger thread about the issue. 

    Unfortunately, it's not something that has been resolved yet, but there should be an update posted to this thread when one is available.

    Ive tried changing name multiple times something else is going on  (I was Ganakas) now its progressed even , I can't see chat from any other player   minus  preset responses (negative /affirmative /request order etc) which ofcourse are the only things i can  do in chat as well as read now.  I can hear voice chat  still but anyway wtf.

     

  • They're probably doing it on purpose to get you to migrate to BF6, game doesn't look that great tbh. Net code has historically been garbage to appease to high ping user and there is just nothing worth looking at in BF6. Censor us and we will mark you for the satan you are.

    Please put in some effort and actually fix this, it is clear there is absolutely nothing being done about this.

  • Besides not be able to chat, now the game gets freezes all the time. Useless. I think they want us to go BF6 all the way.
