Battlefield 6 matchmaking issues persist

Battlefield 6 open beta faces widespread matchmaking problems with a fix promised by EA and attention to a DLSS DLAA issue.

EA promises swift fix for Battlefield 6 beta matchmaking

Battlefield 6's second weekend open beta is off to a rocky start for many players. Across PC and console, users report being unable to load into games with friends, getting stuck in queues after launch, or crashing during attempts to join matches. The issues appeared soon after the beta went live and persisted across multiple sessions, affecting a sizable portion of the player base.

EA Battlefield official Reddit account acknowledged the problems and said a fix is in the works. They also urged players to ensure their EA client is up to date. The post notes a DLSS and DLAA issue as well; the team has identified the root cause and expects to restore the feature later today.

Separately, the beta requires Secure Boot on PC due to anti cheat, and this has led some players to modify BIOS settings. Riot Games kernel anti cheat can clash with Battlefield when both are installed. Despite the glitches, EA says the beta is the series biggest open test and expects the patch to address these issues quickly to sustain momentum toward the launch.

EA's handling of the beta shows how a big online push can attract a large audience while exposing gaps in stability. The tension between security measures and accessibility is clear, with Secure Boot and kernel level anti cheat adding friction that may deter some players. Yet the sheer scale of the beta offers a rare chance to gather real world data before launch and to refine the experience under pressure.

The key test now is patch velocity. If the fix lands smoothly and updates arrive on schedule, the beta could convert high interest into confident players at launch. If issues linger, the online mood could turn negative quickly, drawing critical commentary from players and reviewers. Transparency about progress will be essential to protect trust and keep momentum in a competitive landscape.

As patches land, players will decide if Battlefield 6 can deliver on its promise.
