This happens to myself as well every time i turn on any of the nvidia filters. This never used to happen until one of the last couple updates that came out to the game. I strongly believe 2042's anticheat is flagging the filters as a restricted third party software. I really truly would hope this issue gets resolved for this game because using these filters helps my eyes focus on the game better.
***** update on this. The nvidia patch notes are in error. The filter bug is not fixed.
New Nvidia driver 535.98 claims to fix the filter crash.

Open Issues in Version 536.67 WHQL
- [Halo Infinite] Significant performance drop is observed on Maxwell-based GPUs
- [Battlefield 2042] Game stability can decrease when applying GeForce Experience Freestyle filters.
- This driver implements a fix for creative application stability issues seen during heavy memory usage. We’ve observed some situations where this fix has resulted in performance degradation when running Stable Diffusion and DaVinci Resolve. This will be addressed in an upcoming driver release.
Sure thing. It's weird how Nvidia changed the language of the issue. Now it's "game stability can decrease". I did test it with a number of different filters and they all seem to crash the game once spawned into a match. It is possible to add some sharpening via the Nvidia control panel setting, image scaling. I use 40% and it looks less blurry.
Acheté day one, joué 40h puis abandonné. Je le relance aujourd'hui et je rencontre le même problème que vous avec les filtres, j'utilise aussi affiner sur gforce experience pour rendre plus net pfff...
I have a fix for the problem of filters crashing 2042. it's a simple fix, but I'm going to detail exactly how I figured this out. Use this method at your own risk, but the worst that could happen is that you would need to re-install the Nvidia driver.
I noticed that both BF 2042 and the Dead Space remake have the same problem with filters, that occurred at the same time. Someone posted a fix for the problem with Dead Space on steam. The fix is to import settings using Nvidia Profile Inspector.

What I did to fix 2042 is import that profile for 2042, and for a couple of weeks now there's been no crashes and the filters work fine. I've attached the profile.
What you'll want to do is get the profile import tool from github: https://github.com/Orbmu2k/nvidiaProfileInspector/releases/tag/2.4.0.4
Save the modified profile attached to my post.
Change the extension of the file name from "txt" to "nip".
Run Nvidia Profile Inspector, and in the 'profile' box, select Battlefield 2042.
To the right of that profile box, look for the green button that says "import user defined profiles" when you hover over it and select "import profile(s)".
Select the modified profile and and a dialog box will confirm it was imported. Then, in the upper right hand corner, click "apply changes", and you're good to go.
you are right...without a filter game is not crashing, I tried your fix and was playing for 15 minutes and game crashed...so I dont know what to do, I can say its better now but not completely fixed
Community ManagerYeah, Nvidia appears to be looking into it still.
I found better solution...turn back image sharpenning on

no crashes at all since Experience filter is off

Typically, if a filter is going to crash a game, it does it in the first minute at most. There could be there's another issue present. You could try using image sharpening instead a filter from the nvidia control panel. That's what I was using until I was able to get the filter to work. You'd select the program to customize, click image scaling, tick the GPU scaling to on and pick your preferred sharpeness. I was using 40%.
The joys of PC gaming.. ugh
New driver 536.99. Have played a few hours without a crash.
