To be clear, this issue does not kick players out of matches. The bug happens directly in the main menu. I cannot even reach a multiplayer match in the first place. The moment I press Multiplayer, the game instantly switches me back to the Bulletin Board or Pinwall. It does not matter what I press, it always jumps straight back to that completely useless Pinwall that nobody uses and that I cannot turn off. The problem stays no matter what, and it only started today, right after the newest update. Because of this, the entire Multiplayer mode is basically locked out. I cannot join anything, cannot browse servers, and cannot even open the selection menu. The game force-redirects me every single time. The issue is still not fixed after today’s update, and none of the usual troubleshooting steps have solved anything. I have already tried restarting the game multiple times, using the server browser, toggling Show community content, restarting my router and modem, verifying the game files, checking server status, changing DNS, and switching to Ethernet. None of this helps. The bug is still here. I honestly have no idea what the dev team is doing at this point, but it is definitely not improving the game. This update feels like yet another example of priorities being completely misplaced. Instead of fixing basic issues that have been around forever, the game keeps getting pushed in directions nobody asked for. Right now, EA might as well stand for Early Access, because that is exactly what this game feels like. Please stop focusing on pointless features and start making the game stable and playable again. Bring Battlefield back to what it is supposed to be. Honestly, this whole situation with the EA Forum is unbelievable. I am trying to post a completely normal support issue, and the site keeps throwing random invalid HTML errors — even though the editor itself shows formatting options as if they are allowed. The forum offers headings, lists, paragraphs, and bold text, but the moment you try to publish something, it rejects all of it. So what is the point of having a rich-text editor if the backend rejects everything it creates? It feels like I am fighting the forum more than the actual game bug. And honestly, it makes me wonder what is going on at EA. If even their support website cannot handle a simple text post without breaking, how are they supposed to develop and maintain a AAA shooter? It genuinely feels like the entire system — game and support — is held together with tape, hope, and confusion. The whole experience comes across as chaotic, inconsistent, and honestly embarrassing for a company this size.

Same issue, menu us glitching... only way to play multiplayer is using custom search and select desired mode.

Similar issue here. In the main menu, I can only browse the different game types via the keyboard. They are kind of greyed out, not allowing me to click on them. Nor can I click on the little arrows that allow me to choose different game types. When I use my keyboard to switch pages of game types, it becomes un greyed out but when navigate back to the startup menu page, my mouse clicks don't work anymore. Also, when looking through the new content, it'll just randomly throw me back to the featured stuff. Then it just repeats.

same issue - can't navigate the main menu or reliably select a tile (like 90% of tiles i cannot select, I could get into the shooting range but not why I logged on to play the game).
game installed on PC via steam. was working fine before today's update

That's the problem. You have to do that every time you start a new game.

Always nice to see EA and DICE AFTER ALL THE PROMISES, to still rush an update out the door. How do you F up the MAIN MENU?

They should’ve just left the game alone and work on small meaningful updates

I'm having this issue and have to restart my console/client between each round of Frozen conquest etc as it kicks in after each round. When I just wait between rounds nothing happens. So I leave to main menu and then every time I click the game mode it just takes me to achievements list. So I restart and can have one more round before the cycle starts again
