1-3 SEC FREEZES EVERY 10 SEC! RX 9070 XT + R5 7500F + ADRENALIN 25.6.3! FIX NOW!

**MY SYSTEM (TOP TIER!):**  
- GPU: RX 9070 XT (Adrenalin 25.6.3)  
- CPU: Ryzen 5 7500F  
- RAM: 32GB DDR5 @6000MHz  
- OS: Windows 11 23H2 (FRESH INSTALL)  
- SSD: Samsung 980 Pro  

**GAME-BREAKING BUG:**  
Battlefield 2042 **LOCKS MY ENTIRE PC FOR 1-3 SECONDS EVERY 10 SECONDS**!  
- Happens in **ALL MODES** (even 64-player Conquest!)  
- **ENTIRE SYSTEM FREEZES** (mouse/keyboard unresponsive)  
- GPU/CPU load **DROPS TO 0% → 100%** like a rollercoaster!  
- **ZERO overheating** (CPU 70°C / GPU 60°C)  

**ADDRENALIN 25.6.3? FROSTBITE? AMD?**  
- Tested 5 drivers (24.5.1 → 25.6.3) → **ALL BROKEN**!  
- **Other games:** Cyberpunk/Apex → BUTTERY SMOOTH!  
- **Only BF2042** DESTROYS my PC!  

**I PAID €70 FOR THIS?**  
3 YEARS of "patches" but:  
- 128 players = **SLIDESHOW**  
- 64 players = **SYSTEM FREEZES**  
- Frostbite engine = **TRASH**  

**FIX THIS DISGRACE OR REFUND US!**

    I Also have a 6 Cores Ryzen with Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) the core-count is effectively doubled, to 12 threads. I know what is happening with you. Follow this steps, i play this game since day one and no Problems. If after all this steps continues to crash then you have some hardware problem. Try to reduce the FPS, to many FPS and CPU goes UP to process all those FPS, need to find the balance.

    Try this settings with the 25.3.1 version. VRAM in " Fast Timing " , and allow your graphic card to take all power need " set to Max " . 

    Also very Important, go to your documents, Bf2042, settings, PROFESAFE_ profile, and make a file like this " GstRender.Thread.MaxProcessorCount 12 "  with your processor ammount of cores and threads. And in the same page look for this " GstRender.Dx12Enabled 1 " needs to be 1 at the final, if its a 0 just change it to 1. Its very important to play this game in DX12 version. 

    Other Important things you can do but in the BIOS are These 3 options to enable :

    1 - Above 4G decoding 
    2 - Re_Size Bar Support 
    3- XMP 1 Support

    If you dont know how to do it try to search this 1,2 and 3, steps in youtube, you will find many videos for different BIOS. 

    Other stuff  you can do is put all game settings at Max "  Ultra " , that retires a little bit charge from the CPU. More FPS more work for the CPU. With that Setup even with everything at Ultra you gona reach more than 200 fps easy.

    But what happens in your case? The game opens and then after about 20 seconds of starting the game, it closes and goes black? Or can't you even open the game??These are usually the two most common issues among the AMD community. One is due to the driver version and lack of chipset updates. The other one is because of the VRAM system, you have to go to the BIOS and activate the XMP-1 system as I advise in the previous post. I also have AM5 Socket, Ryzen5 7600 with RX6800XT, motherboard B650 Gigabyte X AX with 32 GB RAM DDR5,  Win11 24h2 version. Play this game since day 1 without problems.

    How did you downgrade the version? The application gives an error when I try to do it.
