If you can dream it up, there's probably a story of it happening: being unable to get past the start menu, loadouts including the wrong weapons, gun attachments going missing or randomly changing, hard crashes, substantial performance drops, stuttering, weird camera problems with player POV, you name it. I personally didn't get hit by most of the worst of the bugs spotted by beta players. Regardless, with just the pandemic realities of working from home alone (which DICE pointed to when it announced 2042's delay in the first place) the developer may still have its hands full making sure the game is polished and, uh, actually working by its November 19 launch date.

But.īoy oh boy, this prerelease had problems-and my own experience lines up with recent rumblings about how that timeline may not be entirely accurate. In a Reddit post, producer Ben Walke said DICE made the decision to 'cap' progress on the beta early so the team could focus its resources on improving the game's launch build rather than pulling people away to polish up something only meant for a simpler prerelease representation of the real thing. Multiple developers at the studio have addressed this, claiming the beta is already outdated by three months and that a lot of the laundry list of technical hitches and bugs that players discovered have been fixed since.
