Top Gameplay Issues & Solutions
Party System Problems
Accepting multiplayer invites while in Campaign mode won’t transfer you to the lobby. The workaround? Always exit to the main menu before accepting party invitations.
Weapon Performance Glitches
Several weapons lack proper camera shake effects, and the crosshair doesn’t scale correctly in 4K resolution. Additionally, air-to-air missiles (R-84V2 and AIM-84) are temporarily disabled due to targeting issues—expect these back in the next update.
Vehicle Quirks
Beyond the missile issue, weapon sway can disconnect after exiting vehicles, affecting your aim precision until you redeploy.
Progression Nightmares
Multiple challenges aren’t tracking properly, including “Resupply teammates with Supply Pouch” and various vehicle-related assignments. Helicopters are incorrectly categorized as ground vehicles in some challenges, causing confusion.
Platform-Specific Critical Fixes
PC Players: Deadzone Crisis
If you played on launch day, your controller deadzone might be set to 22%, causing unintended aim movement. Head to settings and reduce it to the new default of 8% immediately.
Console Players: Performance Mode Workaround
Dynamic Resolution Scaling isn’t functioning correctly. After joining each game session, toggle Performance Mode off and then back on to get proper benefits. Yes, you’ll need to repeat this every match until EA patches it permanently.
Graphics Card Issues
RTX 5080 users may find graphics defaulting to Low settings with Auto Performance preset. Manually adjust your settings for optimal visuals.
Common Connection Errors
EA has documented these recurring connection problems:
- Can’t connect to EA servers
- “An Undefined error occurred”
- Xbox connectivity failures
- “Multiplayer not owned” (EA App)
- Steam launch failures
- PS5 compatibility issues
- “Content pack not owned” errors

Single Player Campaign Issues
Campaign players face unique challenges including mission challenge unlocking problems and graphical glitches on Low settings. If challenges won’t unlock, relaunch the specific mission from the main menu and complete the challenge again.
Mission 07 Warning: The Nile Guard mission has a game-breaking camera bug during specific cinematics in first-person view. Switch to third-person temporarily to avoid this issue.
Xbox/PS5 Campaign Crash: If the game crashes when pressing “Continue” in Campaign, ensure all add-ons are properly installed through your platform’s store.
Portal Mode Complications
Portal creators should avoid special characters in server descriptions, as they prevent hosting. PS5 users should keep content packs 01 and 04 enabled to prevent crashes when starting Portal servers.
EA’s Response & Timeline
According to EA community manager EA_Leeuw’s recent blog post, the development team is prioritizing these fixes. While no specific patch date has been announced, the fastest updates typically target game-breaking issues like the air-to-air missile problem and progression tracking failures.
