@Sc0tch_Whiskey Been reading about it, any one surprised it’s affecting PC only? How many more signs do we need from Dice that PC players are their lowest priority?
Thanks for posting this. I don't use Twitter much but one comment on the tweet was to disable EVGA Precision X/MSI Afterburner. It worked for me. So far played a few rounds and no freezing. I only wish I was smart enough to have figured it out myself. 😃 I think in the past, I've had problems with overclocking software with other games.

Nobody in my clan is running those tools and most experience the crashes. Also, the problems started on Oct 18th and unless you installed those programs on this day, they are NOT the cause here.I also encountered crashes/freezes a couple of times. I also got the message of directx issue. Repair didnt fix it. I uninstalled the Nvidia driver and performed a clean reinstall of the latest driver, it seems it fixed it as I played more than an hour yesternite without such issues.
- @ATFGunr a lot of people are saying that it’s the engine they are using. I don’t know anything about that. But if you have 700 people working on the game you would think this wouldn’t happen. It shows me that was a lie.
You guys try deleting the DX12 cache folder in Documents/Battlefield 2042?
- @OskooI_007 I tried that and it did not work for me. Thanks for the tip tho. Let’s hope dice can fix this ASAP.
@ATFGunrWell considering Consoles are easier to test for, I'm not surprised, furthermore it says a lot about their testing for PC. This many people should not be crashing, only a handful of people using specific drivers etc, but not people using recommended drivers and so fourth. But based on the crashes, it's clearly something to do with the game and not people's drivers.
Ive used Precision for like....ever. its worked in this game fine for a year soooo. Im actually sus about the latest nvidia drivers, the only thing i havent rolled back. Although if console players are freezing too, maybe not any of these things and just flat out the game. Not shocking...
- @S3SSioN_SoL After download, I did a repair then a shut down and manual start. The first time starting resulted in a black screen. Had to use Task Manager to quit. Restarted 2042, and nothing visually happened, although I could see it running in TM. Force quit it again. Tried one last time before diving deeper, it started and I did 3 rounds without crashing. 1 run was good, other two had the now typical slow lag feeling and TTK was off.
Hopefully a fix soon!
