Battlefield 6 has launched, and players are eager to dive into the game, but they’re encountering multiple errors, including the Content Not Installed error. This error prevents players from playing the game after launching the app, as the game states that DLC or other extra content is not installed, even if only the base edition was purchased.  

To help you out, here are some fixes that you can employ to fix this issue or work around the Content Not Installed error in Battlefield 6. 

Content Not Installed Error Fix in Battlefield 6

The Content Not Installed error in Battlefield 6 is currently only appearing for players who purchased the title on the EA App, as stated on community forums.

Purchase Battlefield 6 on Steam

The Content Not Installed error is currently primarily seen when the game is purchased from the EA App. Therefore, it is best to purchase the game from Steam, which can help you avoid encountering the problem in the first place. 

Verify Game File Integrity 

Your game files may not have been correctly installed when you first downloaded Battlefield 6. Therefore, it is best to repair them to fix any errors, which can help the game recognise your content files.

To do this on your EA App, go to your Library, click the three-dot menu on the game tile, and select Manage, followed by Repair. Note that this can take some time, so that you can look at other fixes in the meantime. 

Update Graphic Drivers

To ensure proper performance, update your NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel drivers to the latest versions for Battlefield 6. You can do so by using the corresponding driver apps or through DDA (Display Driver Installer). 

Reinstall

Finally, try reinstalling the EA App and Battlefield 6 to obtain clean new files. There is a slight chance that doing so may fix the Content Not Installed error, but there is no guarantee. 

If none of these fixes work, you’ll have to wait for the official fix, which can take some time due to the current server load.
