Battlefield 6 “Purchase to Play” and “Undefined Error” Issues Surface Preventing Players From Jumping In
While the launch of Battlefield 6 is a day to be happy for, the experience has been marred with connection issues affecting both consoles and PC. This isn’t your typical server situation as well, wherein waiting it out will solve the problem.
Multiple (well, a lot) of gamers who bought Battlefield 6 have gone on social media to announce they are encountering issues even starting the game.
The two most prevalent issues right now? It’s the “Purchase to Play” problem, and another one that affects gamers even if they’re already connected to servers.
Battlefield 6 Installation of Content and Error Issues Plague Game on Launch Day
Multiple gamers on social media have posted an image of files that they’re unable to install. People who own the game are then asked to “Purchase to Play” even if they own the product already.
As far as we’re aware, players on Electronic Arts’ own EA App launcher are the ones affected by this.
Thankfully, EA is aware of this and relayed the following message: “We’re aware of an issue preventing players from accessing the game, with some receiving an error stating they need to purchase DLC or similar.”
The devs state that players should stay tuned for further updates as they investigate the issue.
However, even if you aren’t affected by that issue, there is another one that’s been troubling players, and this affects console gamers too.
Gamers are seeing an endless loop issue in queue that leads to an undefined error message:

So far, EA hasn’t acknowledged this issue, and we’re hoping that gets sorted out soon. Once we hear more about it, we’ll let our readers know — especially if a workaround is found.
