Troubleshooting Battlefield 6 Beta: Server Problems & Error Codes

Select Language:

If you try to play Battlefield 6 but keep getting stuck waiting in queues or see error messages, it’s because the game’s open beta is extremely popular right now. Thousands of players are trying to access the servers at the same time, which causes long waits and glitches. The good news is that queue times tend to decrease fairly quickly. For example, even when I was placed nearly 300,000 in line, the wait was only about 8 to 10 minutes. Most problems can often be resolved with a quick restart of the game.

Below, I’ll go into more detail about what’s causing these issues and share some known solutions for Battlefield 6 error codes.

### Can You Fix the “Server Full” and Queue Errors in Battlefield 6?

When the servers are full, you’ll be placed in a queue, and there’s no way to skip this step. This isn’t a bug; it’s just a result of the game’s servers reaching their capacity. Typically, the wait isn’t too long. During non-peak times, I’ve only waited a few minutes, but during busy periods—like the start of the beta or weekend nights—wait times can stretch much longer, sometimes up to 20 minutes. To help plan your playtime, check the Battlefield 6 beta schedule and try to log in during quieter periods to avoid long waits.

### Battlefield 6 Error Codes and How to Fix Them

Many errors are happening now, mostly due to overloaded servers. Usually, the simplest fix for most issues is to restart the game. Here are some common error messages and what they mean:

#### “Unavailable with Party” Error

This error appears on the main menu and blocks access to multiplayer modes. It often happens because the game can’t find a match or load playlists after a game session. The fix? Just restart the game. According to official support from Battlefield on Twitter, this usually resolves the issue.

While you’ll have to re-queue, restarting the game often clears the problem and lets you get back into play mode. This issue seems to be common across all platforms right now.

#### “Early Access” Error

If you see a message saying “Battlefield 6 requires early access,” it means you’re trying to join a game without having the proper code or without being eligible. If you did have early access, sometimes restarting the game helps. On PC, downloading the game through EA’s app might improve your chances, but this doesn’t help on consoles.

#### Login and Authentication Problems

Errors related to logging into your EA account often happen when there are login issues or server troubles. To fix these, try restarting both the game and the EA app, and verify that you’re signed into the correct account. Make sure to log out of other devices or platforms that might interfere.

#### Connection and Network Errors

Connection problems often result from server outages, issues with your internet, or firewalls blocking traffic. To fix this, check the EA server status online, restart your game, and restart your router. Using a wired connection is usually better than WiFi. You might also need to adjust your firewall settings or change your NAT type to a lower number—1 being the best—and disable any VPNs you might be using.

#### Matchmaking Errors

If you can’t join a match or party, first ensure the Battlefield servers aren’t down. Next, update your game to the latest version, refresh the server list, or reset any matchmaking filters you’ve set. Turning on crossplay can also help you find matches faster.

#### Startup Crashes (D3D12CreateDevice Error)

If the game crashes on startup with a message about “D3D12CreateDevice failed,” the best step is to run the game’s repair function. If there’s no error message but the game just crashes on the start screen, try disabling the “Mandatory ASLR” security feature in Windows. To do this, go into Windows Security settings and turn off “Force Randomization for images,” then restart your PC and try again.
