Battlefield 6 ‘Connection Lost’ Steam Error Explained and How to Fix

After Battlefield 6 received update 1.1.1.0, many Steam players started seeing a ‘Connection Lost‘ error when trying to play the game’s campaign. Electronic Arts is aware of the problem, but hasn’t yet announced when it will be fixed.

This quick guide explains the ‘Connection Lost’ error in Battlefield 6 and offers solutions to help you fix it.

How to Fix Connection Lost Error

If you’re playing Battlefield 6 on Steam and experiencing a ‘Connection Lost’ error during the campaign, here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try.

First, completely restart both the game and the Steam application. Wait a few seconds, then restart them again. This will reset your login information and help refresh your connection to both Steam and Battlefield 6.

Another thing you can try is to restart your router and modem. This refreshes your internet connection and can often resolve problems with how your internet traffic is being directed.

If possible, connect your device to the internet using an Ethernet cable instead of Wi-Fi. This can often fix any remaining problems with your internet speed or performance. Ethernet connections are generally better for gaming because they provide a more stable and reliable connection.

Lastly, turn off any VPN or proxy services you’re currently using. These can interfere with EA’s systems and servers, causing connection issues.

For more advanced troubleshooting of network issues, you can try adjusting your DNS settings, clearing your DNS cache, or reinstalling Battlefield 6.
