Players are consistently receiving a message in Battlefield 2042 with an error code that states the game is unable to load persistence data. Game crashes have been a big issue with Battlefield 2042 since its beta launch, so players will need to familiarize themselves with any available solutions. Although there is no permanent solution for the persistence data error yet, there are a few things players can try in order to fix this while waiting for developers to update the servers.

Battlefield 2042 was recently released in early access on multiple platforms and has a large number of players attempting to get into the servers. The persistence data error occurs when loading into the main menu or during gameplay and causes the game to crash. Players are either loading into a blackened screen that doesn't change or having the game abruptly stop working.

In order to solve the problem in Battlefield 2042, players will need to try a few fixes depending on the platform they're playing on. There are several additional options for PC players than there are for those playing on console, but the solutions have the same chance of working. Players that solve this error may also find that it comes up again because there is not currently any permanent solution, and it can be time-consuming to fix.

Possible Solutions for the Persistent Data Error in Battlefield 2042

For Battlefield 2042 players looking to fix the error message that states, "Unable to load persistence data," there are a few available solutions. First, players should simply try to close the game application and restart it. Players may find they need to do this more than once. If the error still comes up, they can try to uninstall and reinstall the game completely. Since this is a time-consuming task, players should try this method last.

For PC players, there are a few additional options. Players can verify their game files, close background applications, or clear their cache in Steam to fix the error. If players downloaded the game from Origin, then they may need to uninstall both Battlefield 2042 and Origin. Next, players will need to download the EA Desktop Application and download Battlefield 2042 from there. This may fix the persistence data error, but only for PC players.

Although there are temporary solutions, it's unclear at this time if there will be a permanent fix to the persistence data error by the time the game launches. Battlefield 2042 players continue to share their temporary fixes as this problem becomes more prominent. For players on PC, there are a few different options for fixing the error, but, unfortunately, it may come down to uninstalling and reinstalling the game completely.
