Original story (published on November 17, 2021) follows:
Battlefield 2042 is Electronic Arts’ latest take on first-person shooting multiplayer games. Developed by DICE and published by EA, the title has ditched the single-player campaign in favor of multiplayer gameplay.
Set to be released on November 19, many have already purchased the first and only multiplayer version of Battlefield. Both gamers and critiques have praised it for its astonishing graphics but the game still suffers from technical difficulties.
Many are already fed up with the bugs and issues that ruin the gameplay experience. Some recent examples of the same include the crashing issues on Xbox and PlayStation and the controller not working on the PC.
And as if they weren’t enough, Battlefield 2042 players recently discovered (1,2,3,4,5) that they were unable to revive their teammates and respawn in-game after being downed. Many say their character is stuck in the downed state with players lying on the ground with no option to respawn either.
Also, the revive timer is stuck at zero seconds which means that the game is unaware that the character is down. The only way to continue playing the game is to leave the match and rejoin again, which is really game-breaking.
This is especially frustrating if you happen to play with a squad of friends since they will have to invite every time one of the members is affected by the bug.
With less than two days to go before Battlefield 2042 is launched worldwide, many are wondering if EA will be able to fix the respawn revive bug. Fortunately, EA Help seems to be aware of the issue. However, they did not share any ETA on when it will be fixed.
If and when EA fixes the respawn and revive issues with Battlefield 2042, we will update this article so make sure you stay tuned.
Update 1 (November 20)
