Battlefield 2042 is causing Xbox Series X consoles to shutdown
Battlefield 2042 is causing havoc on Xbox Series X
The remastered GTA Trilogy isn't the only high-contour release that could have done with a bit longer in the oven. Battlefield 2042 isn't technically out until Nov 19, but it's already taking heat from those with early access (via pre-orders of the Gold and Ultimate versions, and EA Access members) for delivering a by and large unsatisfying feel.
As is now the norm for player protestation, the Metacritic user scores are the outlet for actor frustration with — at the time of writing — scores of 4.ane, two.vi and ii.five for the PS5, PC and Xbox Series X versions respectively.
While none of these are exactly stellar, the score on the latter may be specially low because of a troubling bug on Xbox Series X.
In a thread with over 300 responses on the EA site, dozens of players are reporting that their consoles completely shut down. Not kicked to the dashboard with an mistake message; the console actually switches itself off. There appears to be no rhyme or reason to the crash, with it sometimes occurring immediately, and sometimes towards the end of a match.
EA eventually responded on Sat, stating that it is "aware of some Battlefield 2042 players on Xbox Series X experiencing a full console shutdown crash during gameplay." The aforementioned problem is, evidently, likewise impacting FIFA, Madden and NBA2K players.
Confusingly, EA said it will be issuing an "optional update" to address the bug on November 17, and that it will go mandatory on November 23. Why there needs to be a six-24-hour interval gap between the two — particularly when the full game is released to the world in the middle — isn't something that the company addressed.
To add more defoliation to the mix, Microsoft added that "y'all can already download this update in the OMEGA Band equally part of the Xbox Insider Program." The post was cryptic as to whether this was the same patch, but if it is, then it hasn't worked for plenty of players who've practical it and are still indelible system crashes.
However you paint it, this isn't a good wait for EA. Players paid extra for the Gold and Ultimate editions of Battlefield 2042 in role because of the ability to play the game a calendar week alee of everyone else. If a bug is preventing Xbox Series X players enjoying the game until November 17, and so they've really been given two days' worth of early on admission, rather than the seven they thought they were paying for. And that's assuming the patch works as advertised.
There's a sure corporeality of good will that comes from pre-ordering a game. For many of the players affected by this, it may well be a case of 'once bitten, twice shy.'
At the very least, the Xbox anniversary commemoration livestream can hopefully satisfy longtime gamers.
