Battlefield 6 has officially launched worldwide on October 10, 2025, marking the beginning of a new chapter for DICE’s long-running shooter franchise. However, as with most major live-service releases, the launch build comes with a few technical hiccups. Electronic Arts and Battlefield Studios have released a comprehensive list of currently known issues under version 1.0.1.0, along with temporary workarounds and notes on upcoming fixes.
This list is not exhaustive, as the development team plans to address additional problems through future patches. Players are encouraged to continue submitting reports via official support channels to help improve the experience across all platforms.
Player and Gameplay Issues
- Party System: Accepting multiplayer invites while in the Campaign does not transfer the player to a lobby or server.

- Profile Display: Weapon Mastery Badges currently appear greyed out, but progress toward them still counts normally.
Gadgets
- EOD Bot: Can become stuck if deployed on a Supply Crate.

Weapons
- Missing camera shake when aiming down sights for certain weapons.

Settings

EA’s Acknowledgment and Next Steps
Electronic Arts has reiterated that Battlefield 6 is a live service title, meaning updates and hotfixes will continue to refine performance and stability post-launch. The development team is already working on subsequent patches aimed at addressing the more disruptive issues, including crashes, shader stutters, and progression tracking bugs.
Players encountering new problems are encouraged to report them through the official Battlefield forums or EA Help portal. While the 1.0.1.0 launch build has its fair share of rough edges, the developers have committed to stabilizing the experience in the coming weeks as the game’s first major post-launch update rolls out.
Battlefield 6 debuted on October 10, 2025, across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Although its launch build introduces a few notable issues, most problems are already under investigation.
