Battlefield 2042 Infinite Loading screen on start up

GhostSoldierOfPain · 18 Jul 2023 at 15:25 · permalink

Greetings
I have had this issue since I got the game 2 weeks ago. Not sure who else experiences this issue and whether a fix for it has been found (I havent read all the topics and discussions yet, and if there are any referring to it, please tag me in them).
I have to launch the game twice every time I want to play the game. on the first launch, the game doesnt show the "connecting to server" layout above the loading screen with the sun shining and the jet flying and such. I have to quit the game and re-launch it to actually get to the point where the game shows the "connecting to server" layout and then after loading into the main menu.

Just had that happen to me, when I started the game a second time. Did not happen on first start. Let's see.
Did not happen again today

Have you verified the integrity of the files?
Have you tried launching directly from the EA app?
Have you whitelisted the game, Steam and EA app for your anti-virus software?
I had this issue for a while. I did all that stuff and it stopped happening so.. I don't know did these actually fix it but

I think it's an issue with the game and HDD's as I get the infinite loading screen and have to force close the game and start it up a second time, meanwhile my brother doesn't (he's got an SSD)

I also have the same issue as described by this post, does anyone know if this is planned to be addressed by Battle Field, if a lot of people are experiencing this it should be brought up in multiple forums or places people who work for or with the game can possibly get this to the right people to fix. If enough people experience this it should be something they would fix with a future patch.

It seems to be a very common problem. And take this for what it is worth. When I tried to start playing it regularly, it happens a lot less now. But the other day I experienced it again for what seemed 4-5 attempts. I usually try either steam or origin, whichever fails I try the other.

I set the .exe file to run in compatibility mode for windows 8 and to run as administrator and it worked. I'm not sure which one did it, but hopefully this helps.

Don't click on anything while the game boots, press launch and then just let the game boot. If that doesnt work, press play, click on the tab or icon ONCE when the game begins booting/a tab appears, and then just let it do it's thing. I haven't had any problems for a while honestly but clicking off the game as it booted would commonly break it for some reason! :D

Hello,
After I log in to BF2042, I can't access the battle episodes (battle options). Please help me.
Thank you!
