Why isn’t Matchmaking Working Right Now?
Because it’s busted for a lot of people. Straight from the devs: there are “ongoing matchmaking issues” across certain playlists. If you’re staring at the loading screen longer than you’re playing matches, that’s not just bad luck—it’s a known problem. The studio is telling folks to make sure they’re running the latest client, and if you’re on the EA App, try the “Repair” button (yep, that old chestnut). Honestly, I hit it half expecting nothing and was shocked when it actually fixed one crash.
@BattlefieldComm shared a Matchmaking Update 01, advising players facing issues to make sure their client is up to date. They noted that the EA App offers a repair function through the three-dot menu, while confirming the team is still assessing the situation.
What’s Going on With DLSS and DLAA?
They’re just… gone for now. Battlefield Comms said DLSS/DLAA have been disabled in the Open Beta due to a bug, which explains why things look a little fuzzier than usual. The good news: they already identified the root cause and promised a fix “later today.” The bad news: “later today” in game dev speak can sometimes stretch into tomorrow, or the next patch. Still, at least we know it’s not our GPUs suddenly deciding to retire early.
@BattlefieldComm acknowledged reports that DLSS and DLAA are currently unavailable in the Open Beta, assuring players that further updates will be shared soon and thanking the community for their patience.
@BattlefieldComm issued DLSS / DLAA Issue Update 04, confirming that a fix has been implemented in collaboration with NVIDIA to resolve the problem preventing players from seeing DLSS/DLAA in the Battlefield Open Beta. They advised those still experiencing the issue to restart their computer, restart or reinstall the NVIDIA App, and then relaunch the game, while thanking players for their patience.
Did the New Map make things Worse?
Kind of. The Empire State map dropped for weekend two, and with it came a flood of new players. Steam showed more than 500,000 people online at peak. Half a million bodies trying to squeeze into the same virtual lobby? No wonder matchmaking is groaning. Add in the shiny new “Custom Search” tool and, yeah, servers are getting hammered. It’s like inviting the entire neighborhood over for pizza and realizing you only bought two pies.
How Do I Fix Battlefield 6 Right Now?
“Fix” might be too strong a word, but here’s what could help:
-
Update your client to the latest version.
-
On EA App, hit “Repair” from the menu.
-
Keep checking @BattlefieldComm on X—they’re pretty active with updates.
None of these guarantee smooth sailing, but at least you’re not just sitting there rebooting your router for the tenth time.
Is the Beta Still Worth Playing?
Honestly? Yeah. Even with the bugs, it’s Battlefield chaos at its best—tanks, skyscrapers, the occasional jet crash that makes you laugh out loud. The beta’s supposed to be rough; that’s the whole point. And with the full release coming October 10, this is our messy but exciting sneak peek. Sure, DLSS is gone and matchmaking is temperamental, but once you’re actually in a match? It’s still that big, dumb, beautiful Battlefield energy.
