As is the case during most early access phases, players in Battlefield 2042 right now are encountering a few tedious errors. One of those is the “unable to load persistent data” error. In this guide we are going to go over how to fix unable to load persistent data error in Battlefield 2042.
How to Fix Battlefield 2042 Unable to Load Persistence Data Bug
The steps you need to take to deal with the Battlefield 2042 unable to load persistent data error depends on whether you are playing on console or PC. If you are on a console, you are going to have to power it down completely and unplug it. Yep—you really need to go that far. Then, wait for about five minutes. Next, you can plug it in again and power it back up. Then, load the game. Hopefully the error will not recur.
What if you are on PC? Begin by clearing the game cache. Find the program data folder on Origin. You will see a bunch of folders in there. Leave the local content folder alone, but delete all the others. There is a similar process on Steam, only you just need to head to the download menu. There, you should be able to clear the cache with a single click. Then, it is just a matter of reloading the game and giving it another try.
Suppose you do all the steps above for your platform, but you still keep getting the error. What is going wrong? Sometimes when a whole lot of people are all trying at once to get into the servers, the error can result. So, you might just have to hold off until things calm down a bit. When that happens, the error should just go away on its own.
Will the problem continue to happen indefinitely? We hope not. Maybe eventually the team will patch it, and it will no longer keep happening.
