New Portal update 25th Feb 2026 4 player start
So EA have updated portal to have 4 players start now, with or without bots and modified XP for both. I see why they have made modified XP for verified server running with bots enabled to help stop XP farms, but why have we got modified XP for verified server that don't have any bots enabled. Only yesterday we had Full XP and Full Stats for none bot enabled verified servers and Full XP and no player stats for bot filled servers. What is EA doing, are they trying to kill Portal or are they not testing things before they go live with them. All I ask is shouldn't Verified none bot backfilled servers not running bots be Full XP and Full Stats as it is just actual players and no possible way to farm XP? Can we have this changed please. Or because there has been no official news posted on the change yet, are they still working on this and it's a bug till all sorted out? The only reason I know this is because I changed my map rotation and reloaded the server to see 4 player start and modified XP with bots on, so I shut it down and disabled bots reloaded server and 4 player start and still modified XP. I even made a new server without bots even that has modified XP. Please fix this issue to Full XP for Verified None Bot Backfilled Servers with 4 Player Start and let communities thrive.
Mouse input locked into controller mechanics after store purchase
I have encountered an input bug in Battlefield 6. While a controller was plugged into my PC, I claimed a free gift from the in-game store. Since that moment, my mouse input has had reduced recoil and aim slowdown mechanics like a controller has, even though my controller is disconnected. It seems the store transaction permanently locked my input as a controller. I have already unplugged the controller, deleted all local settings and PROFSAVE files, disabled Steam Input, cleared my cache files, and verified game files. However, the issue still persists.
BF6 Purchase not in inventory
Hey all! I bought the tactical set with the "Flatline" operator that was on sale. I used steam to buy the currency, it was deposited in my BF6 and then I used it to buy the set. The currency was taken off my account, but I have no kit. I don't see where I can report it for help, nor have I experienced this ever. I rebooted, played multiple matches and its been hrs since the purchase. Any tips, advice or where to seek additional help?
The Objective Ace still missing
'The Objective Ace skin in Battlefield 6 was part of a bugged "BF Pro Bonus Path" that required 100 points, which were impossible to earn through normal weekly challenges. Following player complaints, EA issued a fix in January 2026 to deliver rewards to eligible users.' It is february now. Where's the fix?
Where are BOT only modes at?
Like the title, where is it at? Like in BF2042. That's what I was looking forward to whenever I purchased BF6. I'm not into this PVP only stuff... I'm old and I work all the time. I'm tired of reporting and blocking players for cheating and harasment. And I swear it seems like some matches there is some kind of damage modifier that's gets applied if you've been doing well that the game doesn't disclose. I'm tired of quitting matches when my team and I are getting tossed like a ragdoll. I know it sucks for my teammates but I've come to a point where I just quit out of the match if I can't do anything. There's no point in sticking around in a game if I'm not having fun.
Portal or Servers Broken and Chat is Broken, Wi-Fi Driver Issue
I’m experiencing several issues with Battlefield 2042 on Steam that appear to match what other players have previously reported in the EA forums: BF2042 Portal - Totally broken.. no Portal "game session is not available" | EA Forums - 13203199 Connection failed battlefield 6 Error code 0:85008S:468882297O:0Q | EA Forums - 13203169 Game session undavailable 11:3401j:1106i:7748441280:131076q | EA Forums - 6978401 1. Player count not updating on portal The player count appears to be stuck and does not change I first noticed this yesterday and again today; the numbers have remained exactly the same on both days 2. Can't Choose Maps? On the official matchmaking options, there is no way to choose specific maps Please add a map selection option, and provide better visibility of available servers so players can choose where to play, including for Quick Play Additionally, the matchmaking queue often takes a very long time while waiting for a game to start on this only 1 option, so the alternative solution is to look on portal servers 3. In‑game chat not working or broken The in‑game chat is not appearing, I cannot see other players’ messages? I initially thought this was a settings issue on my side, but after checking my settings and testing, the problem persists, last 2025 mid - year -> I have no issues on this, so I was wondering why it is not showing and I thought it was a new feature or something, but it seems to be broken I tested Battlefield 6 on the same system, and chat works there normally. This issue seems specific to Battlefield 2042 on Steam 4. "Game session not available" error & Wi‑Fi driver issue My Wi-Fi Driver is on the latest and the Ethernet/LAN Driver, but we are focusing on the Wi-Fi Driver at the moment: MediaTek MT7925/7927 WiFi Driver v5.7.0.4669 for Windows 11 64-bit Version 5.7.0.4669 2026/01/02 SHA-256 ：8A41FA06CDF14033E4D88D5A87AB3B64F20DD97019223FD1BD41A7E3FD4AEE35 I can't join servers nor play on the official servers? also, when the "Game session not available" error occurs on PCs that are using Wi‑Fi (or have Wi‑Fi enabled), it appears to cause the Wi‑Fi driver to become unavailable After this happens, the only way to restore the Wi‑Fi functionality is to restart the computer It renders, cannot play BF2042 because of this problem Also, it seems there are cheaters and bots on the servers as usual? when will it be fixed and auto-detection for these accounts to be banned or hardware banned I tried "Verify Integrity of game files", Re-download the game -> no fix on it, so I think this is on the game problem System Specifications: CPU: Intel® Core™ i9‑14900KF (Not overclocked and optimized) GPU: NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4080 SUPER GPU Driver Version (Latest at the moment) NVIDIA App: 11.0.6.383 Game Ready Driver: 591.86 RAM: GeIL ORION V 32GB 5200MT/s Storage: WD Blue™ SN580 NVMe™ SSD 2TB (Latest Firmware Version: 281050WD) Motherboard: ASUS Z790 GAMING WIFI7 (BIOS Latest: Version 1825) Intel ME Version (Latest) Intel Serial IO Software (Latest) Intel Management Engine Interface (Latest) Intel Chipset Driver (Latest) Microcode (Latest) Windows Version (Latest at the moment): 25H2 (OS Build 26200.7840) Lastly, this only happens on this game, I have no issues on other games or PC general usage, so I am reporting this problem here for it to be fixed hopefully I really thought the in-game chat is just like that on 2026 but it seems not as there is no chats from players be it squad, team or all (both sides) so this is a problem too, last year it did not have an in-game chat issue, i don't know why it has this and if this has been going for a bit long time now
