Battlefield 6 has been having a solid first month, but it appears this week is not off to the best start ahead of rival Call of Duty: Black Ops 7’s launch on Friday.
The game’s latest patch, update 1.1.1.5, seems to have brought back that infuriating “not installed” bug that means the game has no idea what’s installed on your system or not. Even worse, it appears this is being felt across console and PC.
How to Fix Multiplayer Not Installed in Battlefield 6
If you’re on the EA App, this has fixed it for some players in the past:
- Click on Battlefield 6 in your game library.
- Press the Manage button.
- Select Repair.
- If that doesn’t work, you can try modifying the install. Try unticking the multiplayer option and then checking again to start a reinstall. Some have tried that with mixed success.
- Some also mention to try and join community servers in portal. Click Community, Browse, select a server, view more info on that server and try to join it? Again it has mixed results but 100% xp servers with similar rules to regular servers seems to work based on some feedback we’ve seen.
On Steam, try the following:
- Right click on Battlefield 6 in your Steam library
- Click ‘Properties’, and then ‘Installed Files’
- Finally, click ‘Verify Integrity of Game Files’
If these methods don’t work, or you’re on console, the only advice is to reinstall the game in its entirety, with some players noting this fixes the issue despite being a bit of a hassle depending on your download speeds.
Let us know if it works, and we’ll update this page as we hear more.
