Having problems with Battlefield 6 multiplayer not installed? Luckily, there’s a fix

Battlefield 6 launched today, and the servers were completely full within seconds. Players who’ve been waiting years to try the new Battlefield are being greeted with crashes after the splash screen and undefined error messages. But that’s not all, there’s also a frustrating “multiplayer not installed” error. Here’s how to fix it.

Battlefield 6 multiplayer not installed

If you’re running into the “multiplayer not installed” issue in Battlefield 6, even though you installed the whole game, don’t worry, you’re not the only one. The error tells you to “reinstall to start playing,” but even after doing that, it doesn’t fix anything. Luckily, there’s a simple workaround:

1. Go to Multiplayer and scroll down to “Experience Search.”
2. Select “Browse Servers.”
3. Hover over a server in the list, then press x for “Experience info,” then click on “Join Server” from the menu to jump in.

And that should do it, now you can finally play a game that costs at least $70, with the usual long list of day-one problems.

Just keep in mind, this might not work for everyone. You can always try reinstalling the game or checking for corrupted files, but that’s about all you can do. Right now, there’s no 100% guaranteed way to fix the “multiplayer not installed” issue in Battlefield 6.
