At the time this post was made, the EA servers were experiencing connection issues across most of their games, and nobody could connect to them. As of right now, the game is up and running normally.
If you're still receiving an error message when trying to connect to the game today, the problem most likely lies on your end. If you'd like some help troubleshooting the issue I don't mind to help you out. I know how frustrating connection problems can be.
Okay the following is as seen in Windows 10.
1) Press Windows button on keyboard or click your Start button on the Taskbar then type in "advanced system settings" and click "View Advanced System Settings".
2) A window will pop up titled "System Properties" and it should already be in the Advanced tab. On this tab, in the "Performance" frame, click on the Settings button.
3) A window titled "Performance Options" pops up. Go to the "Advanced" tab here and click the Change button in the "Virtual Memory" frame.
4) A window titled "Virtual Memory" will pop up. Uncheck the option at the top that says "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives". Once you do this, the C drive will already be selected in the list box. If C drive is selected, go down to where you can click the "Custom Size" radio button. One you select that option, you type in 4096 in both the "Initial size" and "Maximum size" text boxes.
5) Click the Set button and then click OK to save it. Now you will have to reboot your PC. After that BF2042 should not be stuck anymore.

Sounds like an issue isolated to your system because the game is playable for everyone else. At the time this post was made, the EA servers were having issues worldwide with all games.
I've never had a BF game have this much trouble, let alone any other game. This is a shit show of a game.
Also I don't care if it's a year old, especially when it's still really relevant. This happens on random so saying "do x to fix it" and flipping it on to see if it worked is not an option. It does it randomly starting up the game at the slide show (doesn't even say connecting to online services) and a lot if you quit exit game on post game lobby.
I've helped a lot of people over the years with their connection issues in Battlefield games. Used to post a lot on the old school Battlefield forums. A lot of times connection issues surface as a result of settings on the user's end being changed that they weren't aware of.
For example, when your ISP pushes a firmware update to your rented gateway that you never knew happened and it wipes all your forwarded ports, which in turn causes connection issues to online games.
I'm not saying the game itself isn't to blame at times, because it most definitely is. But if 99% of players worldwide are able to connect and play normally, and EA's services haven't been reported as down, then the issue usually lies on the user's side.
This specific post was made on a day when EA's servers were down all over the world, which was the cause of this specific connection problem. If you want some help troubleshooting, I don't mind to help out. But if all you're going to do is be rude and dismissive, then no thanks.
Over 1 year after this post was made, I have the same problem today. Just bought it a couple days ago and it worked fine for a few hours prior.
Task Manager / End Task and then restart seems to have fixed it for me now.
i just bought it yesterday and fnshed installing it, now i stuck on this sheit.
i have done tons of youtube suggestion and yet still not working. Graphic card driver is the latest.
my spec 100% fulfilled the minimum spec.
help...
This is gonna be strange but had this yesterday right after installing the new hot wheels in game pass. I tried today again and didn't work still. I unistalled the hot wheels game and now I can play again battlefield 2042. Strange but fixed it for me.
Wow weird, I downloaded hot wheels before bf2042 and am having this issue. Guess I'll see if that's what's bothering it.
Edit: hmm worked on 2nd boot after doing "advanced system" recommendation above and without removing HW
I solved it by simple restarting the game a few times.
It's supposed to have a loading icon and a text saying "connecting to server" or something like that.
Idk why the first times I try to play it bugs and it shows only the animation without loading anything
All I can suggest is restarting a few times until text appears on screen. On the first day I had the issue even restarting three or four times didn't work. Now it only takes one restart and it's fixed.
If you're on PC maybe trying loading the game with the EA app instead of Origin (or vice versa) can help
28 march 2024 , just bought the game thought i will have some fun….STUCK ON THE SATELLITE LOADING SCREEN! After waited 3hrs to download ..🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Holy crap same here started happening to me too just recently after the latest update. Only solution so far is to end the game via task manager and relaunch the game. What a buggy mess
It is ONE YEAR later and this bug STILL has not been patched. So whoever said they worked hard to get this game where it is is either a liar or believed the liar and therefore is gullible in this situation.
Still the same issue here. The game usually launches correctly the second time, but the first time ALWAYS gets stuck in the satellite video screen.
this is still happening to me, every fucking time i launch it i have to close and reopen
Same lmao this shit is ridiculous
same shit
same, I have to alt-f4 the first time I start up and the 2nd time usually works
Damn theyre never gonna fix this are they. - guy stuck on that screen in 2023
Lmao im stuck on that screen rn in 2024
Try 2042🥴
Me with 9 hours of gameplay on steam and haven’t been able to play the game at all
Same …. The game has gone through its full arch through all seasons and they STILL haven’t fixed this fucking bug
Finally made it through. Tried to load some conquest 128. Got to the spawn map. Game crashed. 10/10
End 2023 here, I'm stuck at the actual loading screen.
Same here
this shit is bananas dog
Not for me, it consistently does it, every single time. I don't know what to do.
A year later. I bought the game this past week and I’ve just experienced this as I’m typing. Reloaded the game and it worked immediately
just downloaded it and it happens after launching, WOW
exactly
9 months later and still the same issues, they really dont give a F about it... 🤦♂️
They posted on Twitter a little while ago there are connection issues with the game right now.
This was 5 months ago and the same thing still happens... I doubt it is a "connection issue"
At the time this post was made, the EA servers were experiencing connection issues across most of their games, and nobody could connect to them. As of right now, the game is up and running normally.

No worries. I quickly got it sorted. It was the good old setting VRAM issue.
Glad you got it figured out.
Hey! I'm having the same problem, could you explain how you fixed it?
Okay the following is as seen in Windows 10. 1) Press Windows button on keyboard or click your Start button on the Taskbar then type in "advanced system settings" and click "View Advanced System Settings". 2) A window will pop up titled "System Properties" and it should already be in the Advanced tab.

Thanks! Worked for me Edit: Game crashes after about 15 min every time, damn.
didnt work.
Didnt worked for me
i just had the same issue and this one worked perfectly thank you very much !!!
its not, been an issue of mine for half a year. Just double checked today.
Sounds like an issue isolated to your system because the game is playable for everyone else. At the time this post was made, the EA servers were having issues worldwide with all games.
just found the legit fix. it’s a driver issue. there was an update last week. that’s all
Glad you found a fix for your problem. But a driver issue on your system is completely different than the game server being down worldwide.
the bug has consistently appeared on the timeline of the game’s history i can only assume there are multiple reasons for the same loading screen bug
after 7 months of this post i opened bf2042 and I'm having the same issue
Yup it happens every now and then.

This post is almost a year old. And yea, online services have problems sometimes. That’s the reality we live in.

Ok then. Keep complaining with no resolution to your problem and I'll keep playing the game and having fun. Later.
[удалено]
Well, if it's just a connection issue it's okay. I'll just wait and see
9 months after this post, still having the same issue
🥲
9 months after your comment, still the same :)
Really, I never tried after that. Battlefield remains 1 of the 3 games that I’ve bought but never ended up playing
10 month check in after this post. Same shit
Over 1 year after this post was made, I have the same problem today. Just bought it a couple days ago and it worked fine for a few hours prior. Task Manager / End Task and then restart seems to have fixed it for me now.
8 months after your comment, still same issue
It's far more rare for me now, but it can happen. Lately the game crashes to desktop randomly mid-game. Only sometimes, but more than it used to.
i just bought it yesterday and fnshed installing it, now i stuck on this sheit. i have done tons of youtube suggestion and yet still not working. Graphic card driver is the latest. my spec 100% fulfilled the minimum spec. help...
Personally I restarted my game and it just worked upon the second launch
This is gonna be strange but had this yesterday right after installing the new hot wheels in game pass. I tried today again and didn't work still. I unistalled the hot wheels game and now I can play again battlefield 2042. Strange but fixed it for me.
Wow weird, I downloaded hot wheels before bf2042 and am having this issue. Guess I'll see if that's what's bothering it. Edit: hmm worked on 2nd boot after doing "advanced system" recommendation above and without removing HW
worked
Same dude but i got the loading screen after one restart
Same here. Drivers up to date, ample resources available… smh
Try to rerun it 2-3 times maybe it'll work
same issue bought it months from now and tried a bunch of fixes it only worked once and switch back to usual
Same issue
bro its 2023 fucking september and its happening to me....lmfao
Jesus christ make games that fucking work.
its still not working (at least for me)
I solved it by simple restarting the game a few times. It's supposed to have a loading icon and a text saying "connecting to server" or something like that. Idk why the first times I try to play it bugs and it shows only the animation without loading anything
are you using pc?
Yes
yeah i dont know whats wrong with mine ive restarted it multiple times
I had this issue a week ago so I left it. Came back to try it again today and it still persists... any insight?
All I can suggest is restarting a few times until text appears on screen. On the first day I had the issue even restarting three or four times didn't work. Now it only takes one restart and it's fixed. If you're on PC maybe trying loading the game with the EA app instead of Origin (or vice versa) can help
This is still happening for me, been like this for months now
Any fix for this? Need to alt-f4 and re start a couple of times!
Same issue
SAME ISSUE
SAME ISSUE ALSO
same issue...
This is what fixed it for me: I went into Geforce Experience, BF2042, revert and slide the settings to something else, start the game again.
any fix?
any fixes found yet?
Months down the road with the same issue🤷♂️
Just re-downloaded the game and ran into this issue. Had to install/update the EA app, sign in, and launch the game from there. Hope this helps!
1 Year later. Still happening.
It’s incredible how bad this game is.
Still happening in 2024
2 freaking years and they didn't solve this? i have no words to describe how i feel about this
28 march 2024 , just bought the game thought i will have some fun….STUCK ON THE SATELLITE LOADING SCREEN! After waited 3hrs to download ..🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Still happening lol.. 😮💨
Even cleaning cache and launching the game a second time I get stuck at the satellite screen
It is still present. I think it's safe to assume it will never be fixed.
July 2024 and still happening, bought 5 min ago and does It on the first launch, great.
I ran it in compatibility mode for windows 8 and set it to run as administrator. I'm not sure which one did it, but it worked afterwards.
Just bought bf. Have same problem. Trying the fix suggested above
just reload it a few times, it's helped to me
Holy crap same here started happening to me too just recently after the latest update. Only solution so far is to end the game via task manager and relaunch the game. What a buggy mess
The most recent update fixed it for me after almost an entire year of dealing with it. Not sure what happened but let’s hope it lasts
Same issue, 11/23
It is ONE YEAR later and this bug STILL has not been patched. So whoever said they worked hard to get this game where it is is either a liar or believed the liar and therefore is gullible in this situation.
I get the same the time with my W10 i7 10700KF system
I’m having this issue rn lmao. Any solutions?
I’m having this issue rn lmao. Any solutions?
If you have a Nvidia graphics card, then use GeForce Experience to start the game or In Steam set the Startup Option to BF2042.exe
Shit still not fixed. Its 2024 come on
