Fix #4: Troubleshoot your internet connection.
The “unable to load persistence data” error message can also be caused by an internet connection issue at home. So, you want to ensure that you check your connection at this point if the problem appears to continue.
Below are the basic troubleshooting that you need to do.
Reboot the modem or router.
A classic solution to all sorts of connection issues is a quick reboot of your networking equipment. Sometimes, all it takes to fix a minor network issue is to refresh your router.

Run a speedtest.
Low bandwidth can sometimes occur when many devices use your home network all at the same time. If the “unable to load persistence data” error remains after restarting the modem or router, try running a speed test on your device to see if it’s getting at least 15Mbps of download and upload.
If you have a slower network, try to disconnect other devices while you’re playing. If Battlefield 2042 works normally and the “unable to load persistence data” bug is absent, you can assume that you have a low bandwidth situation.
Try to talk to your Internet Service Provider for options on how to make your network faster.
Use wired connection.
Another common reason for a lot of connectivity issues in gaming is unreliable wireless connection. If you rely on wifi for your internet connection on your PC or console, try to see if using a wired connection will fix the “unable to load persistence data” issue.
