The short answer
The October 16 official notice says reports of missing or inactive revive prompts over downed squadmates in Battle Royale were under investigation. A later confirmed fix was not verified in this review. Record whether the mode and symptom match, then check subsequent official updates. The October 22 map-stability hotfix does not establish that reviving was fixed.

Step 1｜Identify the mode and revive target
Record the result and leave unverified details unknown.
Time: About 3 minutes to check; download time varies · Risk: low
- Check whether this is Battle Royale or another mode such as standard multiplayer. Separate reviving a downed squadmate from equipment or other problems after a revive.
- Note whether the prompt is absent or visible but inactive, plus platform, input method and map. Do not infer universal platform impact from an unspecified notice.

Step 2｜Check update status and dated notices
Record the result and leave unverified details unknown.
Time: About 3 minutes to check; download time varies · Risk: low
- Check update status in your official launcher and complete any pending update normally, recording the result. Completion alone does not establish a fix for this issue.
- Check the October 16 issue notice and later official announcements. The revive-animation improvements in 2.1.1.0 do not establish a fix for the Battle Royale prompt issue.

Step 3｜Keep a concise record for official support
Record the result and leave unverified details unknown.
Time: About 3 minutes to check; download time varies · Risk: low
- Record the time, mode, map, squadmate state, whether a prompt appeared, attempted input and platform during normal play. Keep the report short and remove personal details.
- This notice does not establish a reliable workaround or fix date. Avoid repeatedly resetting settings; follow later official guidance or report the situation to EA support. Remove other players’ names and voice audio from public clips.
