Battlefield 5 Slow Startup and Long Loading Time
Update (Edited: 06-08-2025): Even BF6's open beta loads fine on the same PC—just 50 seconds from clicking "Play" to reaching the main menu. Update (Edited: 30-07-2025): Performed a clean reinstall of Windows 11 and the game still takes over two minutes to load. A friend of mine with a different setup is experiencing the same issue. I suspect the problem is related to the anti-cheat or the game itself. I’ve attached a screen recording to this forum post showing the problem, including an on-screen stopwatch and Task Manager for reference. Original Post: For EA Staff & Devs Bug Report ID: 6ad91d36-9f32-4e49-98f0-e1c42c510896 Help Case ID: #215668482 I recently updated the BIOS and Windows on my laptop. Everything seemed to be running smoothly—until I noticed that launching BF5 now takes significantly longer than it used to. Only BF5 is affected, I timed it with a stopwatch and the startup consistently takes around 2.5 minutes. The other games' load time from pressing play till it enters full-screen are: BF3 = 12 Seconds BF4 = 16 Seconds BF1 = 40 Seconds Issue description: After clicking Play in the EA App, the EA Anti-Cheat launches and initializes normally. Once the Anti-Cheat finishes, there's a 30-33 second delay before the game window appears. The game remains in small window and shows a black screen for another 50-60 seconds. Eventually, the game maximizes into a full-screen window and loads the title screen. Once fully open, the game runs fine, except it loads map extremely slowly as well. Here's what I've tried so far: Confirmed that Windows and NVIDIA drivers are fully up to date. Repaired, reinstalled, and cleared the cache for both the EA App and BF5. Ran both the EA App and BF5 with administrator privilege and in offline + clean boot. Ran both the EA App and BF5 on a different SSD, ensure SSD firmware are up to date. Performed a reinstall of the NVIDIA driver using DDU; cleared DirectX and NVIDIA GL caches. Reinstalled Windows using the "Fix problems with Windows Update" in-place upgrade. Reset BIOS to default settings, did a CMOS reset too. Unfortunately, none of these steps have resolved the issue, and I’m starting to run out of ideas. Has anyone else experienced this? I’d appreciate any tips or suggestions. For reference (especially if any DICE developers are reading this), here’s the BIOS update I installed: https://support.hp.com/nz-en/drivers/swdetails/omen-by-hp-16.1-inch-gaming-laptop-16-k0000/model/2101129710/swItemId/ob-348379-1 I’ve also attached my DxDiag file to this post in case it’s helpful.
platoon tags not showing ea manager please
EA_Rtas when will platoon tags not showing be fixed? I have made sure my ingame settings allow me to see platoon tags. Sometimes i can see platoon tags but most of time they do not show and I know many players who have same issue as me. it was reported like two years ago after they did server maintenance which broke the game even more, and they never addressed it or fixed it. source: https://forums.ea.com/discussions/battlefield-v-en/battlefield-v-maintenance-on-december-4th/6842496 Image of platoon tags not showing on over 64 players in game.
cannot open a map during campaign game. pls help
Hi, I've got a problem with the game on my PC. I cannot open a map when I play campaign in my BF 5. When I press 'M', nothing is happening. I've tried to change a keybind to other but it doesn't work too. Has any of you had such a problem? I would be grateful for a solution..🙏
ASTER Multiseat shouldn't be flagged by EAAC, please whitelist it
I've been using this application, it's not perfect but for me to split my computer into 3 parts it's great, me and my wife can use the computer while I have a separate instance for my TV(sorta like a console). Battlefield V, Battlefield 1 do not launch and I'm assuming anything that has EAAC, it gives out an error message detected software (ibik.aster). The application is not a cheat, and can't really cause any sort of piracy, the EA launcher can't run more than one instance anyways nor can the games. Please review the application even get in touch with the developers they're pretty snappy to respond, there is no need for the game to not launch with the application running.5090/9950x3d no Ray tracing or dx12 options available.
Hi, while waiting for the bf6 launch I decided to revisit bfv on my new gaming rig. It is an rtx 5090 with 9950x3d playing at 1440p. Sadly when I enter advanced settings I cannot find dxr or dx12 toggle. I have the latest win 11 version, cleanly installed latest nvidia driver, reinstalled both the game and EA app and checked dx12 status with dxdiag. Dlss is greyed out. Anyone else having the same issue or any tips?
