Many Battlefield 6 players have been unable to enjoy the best parts of the new game, all thanks to the Multiplayer Not Installed issue that has popped up.
Typically, this error falsely flags your version of the game as it claims that you’re yet to purchase multiplayer. That’s utterly impossible as Battlefield 6 is only available as a complete package that includes the Campaign and the Multiplayer content.
This guide will list all the steps to take to solve the problem so that you can jump into the multiplayer modes.
Potential Battlefield 6 Multiplayer Not Installed issue fixes
Before we deep dive into some potential solutions, it’s important to note that the fixes here are based on the trial-and-error method. They’re not guaranteed to work at all times. However, there’s been an official acknowledgment from Battlefield Studios, who have reportedly detected the cause. A permanent should come soon, but here’s what you can do in the meantime.
Steam
If you’re on Steam, your best option is to verify the file integrity of your installed content. If any content is missing, it should download automatically. These could be the files required to play multiplayer content. However, you can still end up with the error returning. In that case, verify the files once more. It’s not an ideal situation, but just something to get you by.
EA App
The EA App allows you to download and install the files selectively. First, click on Repair, which should automatically redownload any missing files. If that doesn’t work, the only alternative is to untick Multiplayer and reinstall the files once more. This fixed the problem when it popped up at my end.
Consoles
If you’re on PlayStation, you can try out the Rebuild Database option. If that doesn’t work, the only alternative is just to reinstall the game altogether, or just wait for EA to do its job.
