Battlefield 2042 entered Early Access yesterday, on November 12th, but it seems not everything is going smooth. Many players have reported encountering server issues, something EA DICE has acknowledged and is reportedly working on fixing.
While players face a range of problems, one of the main issues is the “Unable to Load Persistence Data” error, which could pop up when trying to join a server or when connecting to Battlefield 2042 online services in the main menu. EA released this statement about the issue through the Battlefield Direct Communication Twitter page.
This is just the start of a laundry list of problems. Players are also running into a “Global Game Quota Exceeded” error when launching custom Battlefield 2042 Portal games. As you can earn only a limited amount of weapon XP in this mode, XP farming matches are scarce, which leads to maxing out the servers. EA is aware of this issue as well and is working on addressing it.
In the past hour, we deployed a change to Battlefield Portal that impacts the effectiveness of XP Farming Servers. This change is presently live across all experiences in Battlefield Portal. Related to this issue, we are working to free up more Servers for Battlefield Portal. If you’re seeing a ‘Global Game Quota Exceeded’ we’re aware of the issue.

If you are encountering these issues, it can be pretty frustrating and ruin the experience. It’s a good thing there are several ways to check if the Battlefield 2042 servers are online.
EA Twitter Help Account
EA Help offers regular updates on all of EA’s games – including Battlefield 2042. You’ll be easily able to find updates on the server situation here.
For info specific to Battlefield 2042, you should look at the Battlefield Direct Communication Twitter account. It has been pretty consistent in offering the current connection issues, so make sure you keep an eye out.
Battlefield 2042 Help Page
The EA website has an official Battlefield 2042 Help Page. Any current server issues will be posted there, and you can also use the page to look up details about specific connection errors. This is an easy way to find out if EA has fixed a particular server issue.
This is a great page to find answers for various problems, not just those related to connectivity.
Down Detector
Down Detector is a third-party website that can monitor the status of online services. It’s a great way to check if servers are online with a single glance, and the 24-hour tracker shows when spikes of connection issues occur. This is not an official Battlefield 2042 site, and information is mainly collated from the player experience.
Battlefield 2042 is set to launch on November 19th, so we’re hoping they fix all the server issues before that date. Given that there is no single-player campaign this time, the game’s reputation rests solely on the multiplayer experience.
