Battlefield 1 open beta bug preventing players from obtaining new weapons

1 Sep 2016

Users have discovered a bug in Battlefield 1‘s open beta that’s limiting progression.

The bug, affecting the levelling systems of specific classes, kicks in when users play multiple rounds of both Rush and Conquest. Users on Reddit are fairly certain that multiple rounds on the same server prevent players from earning XP points towards class levels after the first round has been played.

The fix — for now — is to join a new server with each match you play.

Don’t fret, though — a DICE producer has indicated the developer is aware. Hopefully a proper fix is coming soon.

Battlefield 1‘s open beta is currently live on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
