‌TO REPAIR THE BROKEN ONLINE MULTIPLAYER "END OF MATCH" SCREEN GLITCH AS SEEN IN THIS PHOTO, SIMPLY RESTART BATTLEFRONT ll.

This is a far more simplified fix than the original "Full console reboot while simultaneously logging into my personal account at ea.com and then back out again" process that I had learned to perform earlier this year.

While simply restarting the game did not at first appear to work several months ago when the glitch first became prominent, I can now say with absolute confidence that, as of this very moment, a simple restart absolutely does appear to work!

PROPOSED CAUSE: Playing ANY Offline Arcade mode still appears to cause the Online Multiplayer "End of Match" screen to somehow malfunction and become unable to sync with and/or display the player's stats until the game is restarted.

  • Yes, you are completely right! However, after one of the last updates, playing of arcade doesn't cause it 100% of the time anymore (at least for me).

    Still, I would like to see a fix for this so I don't have to restart the game.

  • How Lucky! 😁 I'm hoping it'll be something easy for them to patch up. I'm just trying to get 'em to stop long enough to see this before they get swamped after the Geonosis update.

    Since rooting it out as the cause I haven't experienced a single instance where I've played Arcade & had it NOT break the screen... If you've successfully done so then maybe you've accidentally stumbled upon a glitch in the glitch... 😏

    ...and perhaps even a clue to what causes it to happen in the first place in some, "X Always Happens After Y Happens... Unless Z Somehow Also Happens... Therefore Z Must Either Cancel Out, Negate Or Repair Y ... Or Otherwise Cause X To Somehow Fail In Some Other Interesting & Unrelated Way" kinda' way.

    If you can think of ANYthing that may have seemed even the slightest bit "out of the ordinary" during those couple o' few times that Arcade DIDN'T break the "End of Match" screen for you, feel free to toss it on out here. I'm certainly down to test a few more theories! 👉🤓 👍
