The latest Battlefield 2042 update adds dangerous flashing to the AAA shooter

It's not clear yet just how prevalent the problem is and what DICE is doing. Those who've seen the flashing also haven't found a way to replicate the problem consistently enough. This makes it all the more difficult for certain players to avoid the issue until the developers can apply a fix.

The most troubling part here is that EA and DICE haven't addressed the issue or the tweet above yet, which suggests that a solution is a ways off. Of course, if this changes, you can expect us to come up with an update. Until then, those with epilepsy and sensitivity to flashing lights have no choice but to stop playing Battlefield 2042 for the meantime.

If it's any consolation, update 4.0 isn't all bad news for Battlefield 2042. Save for the admittedly threatening flashes, EA and DICE finally added voice chat to the game.
