Battlefield 6 Open Beta 2nd Weekend Ruined by Cheaters & Long Waits

Battlefield 6’s second open beta weekend is plagued by multiple issues, and EA is working nonstop to fix them. Learn more about the problems players are encountering and what’s new in this second open beta weekend.

Battlefield 6 Second Open Beta Weekend Bugs and Concerns

Long Matchmaking Times and Unavailable DLSS/DLAA

Battlefield 6 enjoyed a strong launch during its first open beta weekend and has now moved into its second. However, the game is currently dealing with several technical problems, including extended matchmaking wait times and the absence of DLSS/DLAA. Players have voiced their frustrations across multiple subreddits, and EA has publicly acknowledged these concerns.

In a post on Battlefield’s official Reddit page on August 14, the development team has been regularly updating the community on their progress in resolving these issues—particularly the lack of DLSS and DLAA support in the open beta.

These updates are also being shared on Twitter (X) via Battlefield Comms, the official community channel. According to their latest thread, they don’t yet have a precise timeline for fixing the issue but are working to resolve it later today.

Another major issue players are reporting is lengthy matchmaking queues and frequent error messages when trying to join playlists. EA is actively investigating the problem and prioritizing a solution.

They’ve also recommended a temporary workaround: ensuring your game client is fully updated and using the built-in repair tool. Still, many players continue to face the same issues despite following these steps.

Some of these problems are understandable given that the game is still in beta—with nearly 400,000 players active simultaneously, according to SteamDB. Still, fans are disappointed by the scale of the issues, and some have even called for an extra day to be added to the second open beta weekend.

Beyond these technical hiccups, Battlefield 6 shows strong potential, as most of the current problems appear fixable before launch. Explore our full review below for more insights into our experience with Battlefield 6’s open beta.
