A “technical issue” with the Xbox One version of Battlefield Hardline is preventing EA Access members from continuing the game’s single-player campaign as intended.

The glitch means that those who played through the opening two missions in the Xbox One trial will not be able to progress to Episode 2 in the full game without replaying the first episode.

“This means you’ll have to play through Episode 1 again before you can access Episode 2 in the full game, even if you previously completed it during the EA Access trial,” EA says. “To resolve, be sure to select ‘Restart Episode’ in order to replay Episode 1; if you choose this option, progression on weapons and rankings will be retained.”

You can also choose to restart the entire campaign, although progression on weapons and rankings will be completely reset and you’ll have to replay the Prologue, too.

Battlefield Hardline launched in North America yesterday with a UK release due to follow this Friday, March 20.
