Consider the static Bayesian game as described above. $ t_1$ and $ 𝑡_2$
are the types of the row and column player respectively, which are both uniformly distributed on the interval [0,1]. The first part of the question is asking us to find a Bayesian Nash Equilibrium. Trivially, don't the the top left and bottom right corners correspond to equilibrium outcomes? Unless I've misunderstood the definition of a BNE.

Yes, you are correct. All types $t_1$ choose O (B) and all types $t_2$
choose O (B) are both Bayesian equilibria.
Note that there are other Bayesian equilibrium in this game, if you are interested this is explained in detail here (p. 10, see reference below) for this particular battle of the sexes with two-sided incomplete information. The basic idea is to note that in this game, each player has a continuum of types, and so the set of types is infinite. You can look for a Bayesian equilibrium in which player 1 goes to the $Opera$ if $t_1$ exceeds some critical value $x_1$ and chooses $Fight$ otherwise, and player 2 chooses to $Fight$ if $t_2$ exceeds some critical value $x_2$ and goes to the $Opera$ otherwise. To find the values $x_1$, $x_2$ that make these strategies a Bayesian equilibrium you can calculate each player's expected payoffs given the other player's strategy and find the optimal values based on this.

Being new to Bayesian games, it seems like methods for solving such games (including auctions) rely on us assuming some form for the strategies and then proceeding (an example is the threshold equilibrium in the above game). Would there be any exhaustive methods for solving Bayesian games?
