“Test Your Mettle” Achievement Now Unobtainable – Please Consider a Fix
Hi EA team, I’m reaching out regarding the “Test Your Mettle” achievement in Battlefield Hardline. Since the official servers have been shut down, this achievement has become unobtainable, as it relies on online features no longer accessible. Many completionists and fans of the Battlefield series are disappointed, as this prevents 100% completion of the game. I kindly ask that you consider issuing a fix or workaround for this achievement, such as unlocking it automatically or adjusting the criteria so it can be completed another way. Battlefield Hardline still holds a place in many players' hearts, and addressing this issue would mean a lot to the community. Thank you for your time and consideration. Best regards
How to fix the "Missing multiplayer privileges" error on BF1
I figured out how to fix the terrible " Missing multiplayer privileges " error on BF1. It might also work for other EA games like BF3, BF4, BFV, BF HARDLINE... You probably have this issue because your Xbox subscription ended and you renewed it recently. FIRST OF ALL : make sure you have an Xbox Game Pass ULTIMATE membership active, I am not sure if this method works with Xbox Game Pass CORE so if it doesn't work, buy the ULTIMATE membership. If you are trying on Playstation and this method doesn't work, I suggest you purchase the Playstation Plus Premium membership and try again. QUICK FIX: launch BF1, and when you arrive on the multiplayer menu where you get the error, press the xbox home button on your controller, and launch BF4, accept all the pop-ups, and when you arrive on BF4 main menu press X to load multiplayer, it should load, then come back to BF1 and it should load and the error is gone. This might also work if you launch BFV instead of BF4 and when on the main menu, press RT to connect to multiplayer, it should load, then come back to BF1 and it should load and the error is gone. If you are lucky you will be asked to download an update, do it and it will be fixed. This works even if you have never played to BF4 or BFV. If this didn't work, try this longer method that will force BF1 to download an update: Make sure you have an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, not Core, because you will need the Cloud Gaming functionality. While doing this make sure your automatic subscription renewal is OFF (it worked for me this way). Make sure you have BF4 and all BF4 DLCs uninstalled. Go to the Xbox Store and launch BF4 with cloud gaming. Let it load, a lot of pop-up screens will appears, just accept everything and once you arrive to the multiplayer screen, you should see that you are connected. You might need to press X to refresh the screen. Press LB to open the left menu and navigate to BF1, you won’t have the "missing privileges error" and your multiplayer progress will be shown, BUT that doesn’t mean that it is fixed yet. It’s fixed in the cloud but not on your console. Press the xbox home button on your controller, press the triple bar button (menu button) on the controller and press on quit BF4. Try launching BF4 again and it should ask you to download the game with all the DLCs, press yes. If this message doesn't appear yet, then launch BF4 again exactly the same way through cloud gaming, then quit it the same way (press xbox home button and triple bar button on your controller, press on quit BF4), and launch it again until this message appears. Wait until BF4 is downloaded at about 20%, launch it, there should be some pop-ups about Xbox Live Gold subscription, accept everything, and once you arrive in the main menu saying the game is being installed with the % shown, press the xbox home button on your controller, press the triple bar button (menu button) on the controller and press on quit BF4. Wait until BF4 is fully downloaded, and before the Naval Strike DLC is completed downloading, launch BF4. (don't stop the other DLCs from downloading in background, let them in the download queue) Now that you have launched BF4, accept all the new pop-up messages saying you need an Xbox Live Gold Subscription. Go to the multiplayer section, you should be connected, if not, press X to refresh and you will be connected. Wait patiently in the BF4 main menu until you get a notification saying that the Naval Strike DLC has completed downloading in background. You will also see a green text message on your BF4 main menu saying an update is ready. If you don't see this green text message, wait for some other DLCs to complete downloading. Press the home xbox button, press the triple bar button on the controller, and quit BF4. Launch BF4 again to apply the update and accept all pop-ups. Quit BF4 the same way on step 13 and launch BF1. It should ask you for a forced update, accept it. Then, BF1 should load and the multiplayer should work. Yay ! DON’T DELETE BF4 AND ANY DLC RELATED TO BF4 BECAUSE THIS ERROR MIGHT COME BACK OTHERWISE. If you power off your console this error might come back, so just launch BF1, on the main menu, go back to home and launch BF4 (don’t quit BF4), on that main menu press X to load multiplayer, it should load, then come back to BF1 and it should load. Install BFV and launch it, if you have the "missing multiplayer privileges" error, press RT to refresh and it should ask you to download an update, accept it, then launch BF1. It should work forever, if it asks you for an update accept and do it. Also, if you are gamesharing your subscription with someone and he has this error, what you need is, have both accounts signed-in in the xbox home screen, then select the account that is paying the subscription, do step 20, until BF1 multiplayer is loaded and working for your main account. Still on BF1 main menu, you can switch to the account that you are sharing with, then you can disconnect from your main account, and it will still work. Recommended to do: put your xbox in Sleep power option mode (not the power saving one), to avoid completely shutting it off and keep the multiplayer data loaded continuously. I hope this will help as many players as possible! This is what I found after a few hours of being locked out of BF1, I don't think there is another solution for this error, so make sure to share it around ! See you on the Battlefield (1) ![PS4][Hardline] Can't go online at all
Hello everyone, I own Hardline on disc, and remember playing the multiplayer years ago. I wanted to play again today, but I keep getting hit with an error that reads "You have lost your connection to PSN and thus lost your connection to the EA Servers. Please check your ethernet cable. You will be unable to access any online features until you sign in to PSN and the EA Servers again." any time I try to access any online functionality from the menu (Multiplayer, Premium, Store, Battlelog). However, I'm clearly online on PSN, and able to play Battlefield 1 without any issues on that fronts, so I'm not sure what's wrong. I tried opening up a case with EA support through the help EA website but I'm completely unable to access a chatroom, both on pc and phone, so I'm here. Of note, I also own the game on PC, and made sure that my PS4 account was marked as active on Battlelog, and that's when I noticed that none of my stats from PS4 were synced (no campaign progress when I clearly finished it for example). I don't know if it's a problem with my account, but I was also unable to do simple things on my battlelog agent page, like change my avatar, when I was able to do it for my PC agent. If anyone has any clues on how I can either contact support properly or solve this issue I would be open to suggestions. I already followed the guides on how to contact support and have an active case but I haven't been contacted yet, and I already checked many EA Help support pages regarding Hardline, to no avail.

BF1:Balance Is Dead: Player is using Bugs to ruin BF1. Needs Fix Asap!
Hi,Allow me to introduce myself. My name is FranX, my game ID is Sorryikuuu. I’m a loyal gamer from China. I have been playing this game for thousands of hours. I also spent a lot of time helping Chinese community organizations called “BFEAC” and “BFBan” ban hundreds of cheaters. But over the last few months, I have noticed this player called [removed]. I believe many players know about this loser because he uses all kinds of unfair ways to play BF1, including cheating, swearing, and abusing bugs. Thanks to him, I also noticed some terrible bugs that are slowly killing this game, and I really hope EA can fix this, please!!!!! First bug: flat-firing AA rocket. The AA rocket has a range of 250m and an explosion radius of 50m, dealing 40~50 damage (including to elite soldiers and cavalry). Sometimes the bullets can even pass through buildings. The damage from this weapon does not show a damage source, making the AA rocket user extremely hard to locate. The AA rocket bullet has very slight drop, meaning the user can perform over-the-horizon strikes over hillsides. I found this bug on the default official server B2B (Back to Basics, an Operations server where automatic/semi-automatic weapons, air and land vehicles are banned; only standard iron-sight single-action rifles are allowed). Adoreys can easily get 200+ kills per match. He just places an ammo crate, redeploys as Assault, then fires at objectives from a distance of 250m. Based on the AA rocket stats I mentioned above, this weapon has a massive explosion radius and high damage. They can literally perform beyond-visual-range strikes. You can do nothing on a no-vehicle, iron-sight rifle only Operations server but get killed. I have attached some screenshots so you can see how terrible this player’s K/D ratio is. The second bug: deploying heavy bomber on B2B servers where vehicles are banned. I don’t know how he managed to do this. He even posted tutorials on another platform teaching others how to deploy vehicles on B2B servers. I will attach the video links and his combat result screenshots at the end as well. He can easily kill 200+ kills and only die 1 or 2 times per match, because most B2B players are newcomers. They don’t even know how to unlock the AA rocket, and there are no stationary AA guns or pom-pom guns available because all vehicles are banned. In the end, I really love the Battlefield series, and I think BF1 is more than a game—it’s the best BF in my heart. I truly care about the experience of all players. I switch to the noob’s side to balance the game and help new players learn and enjoy it. That’s why I spent countless hours gathering evidence against cheaters and helping ban hundreds of them. It makes me really sad to see new and regular players getting killed like this. I can sacrifice my time to ban cheaters, but there’s nothing I can do about game-breaking bugs. This is the only thing I can do. So if you are reading this, please leave a comment or like💕💕. We need EA to see this and fix it as soon as possible. I appreciate it a lot guy.🙏🙏 Here's the link to the vehicle deploy bug video: [removed by CM - please do not name & shame]Battlefield Hardline server shutdown is stupid and lacks sense
I'm writing this discussion because of what the title says. I probably would get mad at EA because of their tendency to kill servers every year. Well, you already screwed up my BF3 platinum in 2024 (thank you), and now, the announcement of sunsetting the remaining console versions of Battlefield Hardline is, well, STUPID in all caps. First of all, why is ONLY THIS SPECIFIC GAME? And Battlefield 4 that's also on PS4 and Xbox One will still remain? Pfft. It's because it's main developer, Visceral Games no longer exists since 2017? It's because of "low player base"? ("low player base" is a stupid cheap excuse to shut down a server) or because you're forcing us to play Battlefield 6? You already demised BF Hardline on PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2024, and now you're killing the remaining of the versions that, FOR YOUR INFORMATION, PS4 and Xbox One are still active consoles. Just because like Sony stopped offering PS Plus titles on PS4 or is slowly abandoning it doesn't mean you have to take that choice. Also, why making on March 17 a "11 YEARS" anniversary post, and then 5 days later "unfortunately we're shutting down the servers on June 22" NO. AND JUST NO. That's stupidity at it's peak. At this point, just make the servers P2P, so y'all company saves a million dollars on pulling out the cable of the servers. Despite it's one of the most divisive games on the series, it still has players dedicated to it. And look! I don't have a PS4 but I planned to purchase BF Hardline when I had one! But probably at the time I'm getting it the servers will be dead on their grave! Now also look at your forums. At least give a solution to your users. Some players have issues logging into the game on PS4/Xbox One. And well, seems a solution probably will come, or maybe not. Who knows. Reconsider, EA. RECONSIDER FOR ONCE.BATTLEFIELD 1
Eventually I know BF1 servers will shut down and hate when the day comes. I know it won't happen but before it happens would love to see bots be put in the game just like in BF 2042. That way we would still be able to enjoy the game in some form after it's taken down. Wishful thinking I know but love this game still. Thank you!
