Orange Dot Notifications Will Not Clear
Haven't we all had enough of the endless orange dots in the game? Every mission, every firearm, every season pass level... Even if you patiently click each one to get rid of them, it doesn't matter....
Ideas
After purchasing the new CST operator bundle (Peripheral Vision + Covert Trespasser), all of my loadouts across every class now show permanent orange notification dots.
The dots appear next to:
- Loadout 1
- Loadout 2
- Loadout 3
- All classes (Recon, Engineer, etc.)
I have opened every item in every loadout, checked every weapon, gadget, skin, and attachment, yet the dots stay. This began immediately after the latest update and the bundle purchase.
Troubleshooting attempted:
- Restarted game
- Restarted system
- Logged out/in EA account
- Cleared every item marked “new”
- Reset loadouts
- Switched operators
- Reinstalled game
None of these clear the dots.
Impact:
The UI constantly indicates false “new items,” making the loadout screen unusable and confusing. This affects every class and every loadout slot.
Expected result:
Loadout tabs should not display notification dots when no new items exist. A “Mark All As Viewed” option or a fix to clear the notification state is needed.
Reproducible:
Yes, happens every time the game is launched.
Request:
Please acknowledge this UI bug and provide a fix in the next update or hotfix.
I figured it out! Here's what worked for me:
- Add the affected guns to your favorites
- Quit the game
- Boot the game back up
- Select a class (Assault, Engineer, Support, Recon. It doesn't matter what class you choose)
- Select the type of gun you want to swap (primary or secondary)
- From the 'Select Primary Weapon' or 'Select Secondary Weapon' screen go into your favorites
- Hover your cursor over the affected guns that are in your favorites. The dot should remove itself
- Remove affected guns from your favorites
- Play more Battlefield

Thanks for sharing this 👍
Woohoo! Thank you. This worked for me.
This worked for me -- many thanks !!
While this does work for weapons, it unfortunately leaves no way of clearing orange dots from the Icon section of the Profile tab. For me, a permanent orange dots shows on the tab, but not on any of the icons.
EA_ShepardKoala0nFire Hey, I am following up on the thread, and updating the feedback, so I wanted to confirm, you have tried the following, and probably more, and there is still no change?
- Check scopes/camos/charms/stickers
- Restart the game after a repair, and the profsave file deletion
- Use the favorite-weapon trick
- Test the EA app vs Steam if you can
