Re: BF2042.exe memory corruption crashes

Little update here: even if the stability test was ok, the issue seemed to be related to the XMP profile set on BIOS, as soon I've restored the default DDR timings memory corruption exceptions are gone. It's very strange because before the last update BF was able to run even with XMP settings like any other games.

  • Good to hear you are making progress

    can we have a rundown of your hardware specs plz?

    Yes, sure:

    i9-11900K

    Asus Prime Z590-A (BIOS AMI 1007)

    4x16GB Corsair Vengeance Pro CL16

    Gigabyte 3080 Ti Gaming OC 12GB

    PSU Corsair RM850x (850W)

  • @-Mik3c-

    - Maybe try an update to a newer bios version like 1301 or even 1402
    - 4 times 16GB puts a lot of strain on the Integrated Memory Controller of your CPU, it could be that you need a small SA voltage bump to stabilize it again.
    - Is this a quad channel kit or did you add a 2nd kit ?

    Thanks @ATCleeghoofd-

    Just updated the BIOS to the 1402; I've restored the XMP profile with the default timings and voltage settings ... later I'll try to make a test directly using the game. Memtest is ok with XMP turned on. In case of further crashes I'll try to tune the VCCSA voltage. Default XMP profile uses these:

    Voltage Values
    CPU Core 1.328 V
    CPU VID 1.385 V
    +3.3 V 3.264 V
    +5 V 4.960 V
    +12 V 12.000 V
    +3.3 V Standby 3.360 V
    VBAT Battery 3.184 V
    DIMM 1.344 V
    VCCIO 1.056 V
    VCCIO2 1.168 V
    VCCSA 1.136 V
    GPU Core 0.756 V

    No I'm not using a quad channel kit, I've 2 16gb kit bought separately, so the memory controller is set in dual channel mode.

  • Having the same issue.

    Everything was fine a few months ago before I paused playing for a few months. Then sometime after Season 1 the game crashes itself and even my PC sometimes out of nowhere.

    My specs:

    i9-9900K

    ASUS STRIX RTX 2080 ti

    ASUS Z390-F

    64 GB Crucial Ballistix RAM

    850W bequiet PSU

    I have 4x16 GB RAM (set to 3600 MHz). I already tried changing the slots, but that only seemed to work for like ~3 matches. It crashed again while I was playing the 4th match, if I remember correctly.

    Edit: After setting the BCLK frequency to 100:133 in BIOS (default was 100:100) it seems to work fine for now. I also set the RAM frequency back to 3600 MHz. Because once you change BCLK, it defaults the RAM frequency. So it is 100:133 at 3600 MHz now.

    I shouldn't have to do this. Nobody should have to do this. I don't even really know what it does. And I don't know if it is advisable to do this. But it works... for now.

    Edit 2: I changed my mind and instead just set the MHz to auto (which is 2666 MHz in my case) and changed the BCLK frequency back to 100:100.

    No crashes so far after 2 weeks of playing.

    Fix your game DICE.
