Just to clear up some misinformation about Battlefield 2042 server issues
I’ve seen a lot of people saying that Battlefield 2042 is currently unplayable and that EA/DICE may have intentionally limited or shut down servers to push players toward Battlefield 6.
I understand the frustration, because a lot of players are clearly having issues right now. However, I don’t think we should spread that claim unless there is an actual reliable source for it.
What I found so far:
Official EA server status page:
https://help.ea.com/en/server-status/
EA Battlefield 2042 support page:
https://help.ea.com/en/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/
EA Battlefield 2042 Technical Issues & Bugs forum:
https://forums.ea.com/category/battlefield-en/discussions/battlefield-2042-technical-issues-en
Recent EA forum thread about heavy performance loss on official EU servers:
https://forums.ea.com/discussions/battlefield-2042-technical-issues-en/bf2042eu-heavy-performance-loss-on-official-servers/13352494
EA/DICE also released Battlefield 2042 update 9.2.0 as part of the “Road to Battlefield 6” content, which suggests they were still using BF2042 to keep players engaged rather than officially shutting it down:
https://www.ea.com/en/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/news/battlefield-2042-update-notes-9-2-0
So yes, there do seem to be real server, matchmaking, lag, rubberbanding, or region/mode-specific problems affecting players. But I have not seen reliable proof that EA/DICE intentionally disabled Battlefield 2042 servers to force people to buy Battlefield 6.
If anyone has an official EA/DICE statement or a better source, please share it. Until then, it seems more accurate to call this a server/matchmaking/performance issue rather than an intentional shutdown.

The blacksceen-bug is over 2 months old and they still havent fix it. a big company like EA should fix it in at least a week, but they dont. 2 freaking months! Stop defending them!

Bro idk if you enjoy the boot taste this much, but at every software company I worked for, whenever there was an outage of service for clients, that would immediately become #1 priority for anyone who could work on it. IT, developers, DevOps, everyone dropped whatever they were doing and started working on fixing service availability.
Yet somehow, tiny companies like EA/Dice can't fix this in like 6 weeks?
Either they're malicious, or they don't give a crap about the customers, because they already got their bag for 2042. Be real.

I mean me and my friends stopped playing because we choose to play 4 of use a rush or conquest with AI bots, and the game server doesnt even boot, it kicks in to menu, this started couple weeks ago and it has been like that since then, its not device or game problem, but more like development/server problem.. So in my opinion, they doing this on purpose so people just play BF6 instead.

Well if they're doing it purposefully they're not going to advertise it are they?
