Battlefield 2042 seems to be having some issues following the inclusion of the recent patch 4.1 as far as console players are concerned. Since its release, the game has run from one problem to the next, and DICE has found managing the situation quite hard. While the developers have continued to work to improve the game, the overload of existing issues has made it a Herculian task.

The major issue with patch 4.1 is that it removes the 128-player Breakthrough mode. Many fans believe that DICE hasn't solved the real problems in Battlefield 2042 and instead ended up removing something they loved. Another issue has affected console players and their controllers, and this one could be a major problem.

The main post that the above comment is from was posted by Reddit user u/tsar_fys, who provided a clip. In the clip, the player is trying to connect their controller to the game. However, the connection doesn't work. And based on the post, the problem seems to present itself every time they start and load a new match.

The sentiments against DICE are at an all-time high with the removal of the 128-player Breakthrough mode. Players, even those who don't play on consoles, haven't taken kindly to the news. One user wondered if Battlefield 2042 could even be considered a live service game anymore. They state that the updates so far have added very basic things and ended up causing more problems.

A PS4 player described a possible solution to something they did when they faced the same controller problem. They left the match they were playing and joined
