Battlefield 6 has officially launched, bringing the celebrated first-person shooter series back to Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and PlayStation 5. Following a massive Open Beta that broke records, the game’s arrival has been highly anticipated. With the revival of the classic class system, new class-specific gadgets, and the most dynamic map destruction the franchise has ever seen, it promises to deliver the experience fans have been waiting for.
However, like many major new releases, Battlefield 6 has encountered a number of frustrating bugs and technical problems at launch. While some issues are minor, others are more severe, preventing players from enjoying the game as intended. Developers EA and DICE are actively working on solutions, but in the meantime, here’s a detailed rundown of known problems and how to address them.
“Game Not Released” Error on Steam
Some Steam users are seeing a “Game Not Released” message, which blocks downloads or updates. To work around this, open Battlefield 6 Properties in Steam and deselect both the Battlefield Multiplayer HD Marker and Battlefield Multiplayer Marker DLCs. You can also try fully closing and restarting Steam, rebooting your router, or restarting your computer. If the issue continues, a future update will likely resolve it.
Game Fails to Launch on PC
A number of PC players report the game crashing to desktop shortly after startup. First, ensure Secure Boot is enabled on your system. If it is, verify your game files through Steam or use the Repair option in the EA app. If problems persist, uninstalling and reinstalling the game may help. Otherwise, wait for an official patch.
DirectX Error “DXGIERRORDEVICE_REMOVED”
This error suggests the game isn’t detecting your graphics card or is having trouble with your current drivers. Update your graphics drivers using the manufacturer’s software or by downloading the latest version from their website. If that doesn’t work, reinstalling the game or reseating your GPU are additional steps to try. A future patch may be needed for a permanent fix.
Stuck in Login Queue
High player traffic has triggered a queue system to help stabilize servers. The only way past the queue is to wait, do not restart the game, as this will reset your position.
“Server Disconnected” or “Unidentified Error” Messages
Players are sometimes kicked from matches with these errors, forcing them back into the server queue. There’s no direct fix; the issue is tied to server stability. Trying again during off-peak hours may improve your experience.
“Purchase to Play” or “Content Not Installed” Error
This bug, affecting EA app users in particular, incorrectly suggests the player doesn’t own the game or has missing content. Developers are investigating, but a known workaround is to join a friend’s game or use the community server browser. Restarting or reinstalling the game has also helped some users.
Infinite Loading Screen
If the loading screen never progresses, close the game completely and restart it. On PC, use Alt-Tab to access the Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) to force close the client if needed.
Missing “Road to Battlefield 6” Rewards
Cosmetics earned during the Battlefield 2042 “Road to Battlefield 6” event aren’t showing up for some players. Aside from restarting the game, the best course is to wait until server load decreases, which should allow rewards to appear. If not, a patch will be required.
This list covers the primary bugs and launch issues currently affecting Battlefield 6, along with available fixes and workarounds. We will update this article as new problems or solutions emerge.
