[BFComms] Season 5 Siege of Vegas Known Issues and Status Roundup - October 16

Today, we wanted to follow up on our recent update before we kick off the weekend. Here's what we're currently investigating and tracking across the most recent update.

  • Progression and XP Earn Rates: Following the launch of Season 5, an unintended backend configuration issue throttled earn rates across core modes and weapon mastery progression. We have since reverted these settings on October 15, and have confirmed that earn rates have returned to normal.
  • White Screen in Campaign: We have deployed a fix resolving an issue that prevented PlayStation 5 Pro players from progressing beyond the opening cutscene in the Battlefield 6 Campaign. You can now jump into the mission as intended.
  • Drag and Revive: We are seeing reports where the revive prompt fails to appear or activate over downed squadmates in Battle Royale modes. Our team is actively investigating the root cause of this issue.
  • Vehicle Health Regeneration: We are looking into reports that passive vehicle health regeneration is taking longer than the intended amount after disengaging from combat. Our team is reviewing this issue.
  • Phantom Edition GOTY Skin: Players who own the Phantom Edition were intended to receive the new Legendary soldier skin from the Game of the Year (GOTY) Edition without purchasing an upgrade. We have rolled out an in-game inbox message that will automatically grant this skin directly to qualifying accounts.

The team is actively pushing forward on these fixes as well as the updates we mentioned earlier this week. This list is not comprehensive, so please continue to report bugs on the EA forums and share your feedback across our social channels. Have a great weekend and thank you for your patience.
