Several players have reported facing an error while downloading resource packs and maps in Battlegrounds Mobile India. This, in turn, has significantly affected the game's matchmaking system. Currently, it is only possible to play in Erangel and the Arcade mode.

Additionally, players have observed that some in-game settings cannot be altered. Fortunately, the developers have addressed this issue with resource downloads through an announcement on Battlegrounds Mobile India's official website and via the game's official social media handles.
