AMD 25.6.1 still crashes BF2042 — the driver was updated, but nothing changed

I haven’t been able to play BF2042 at all with AMD driver version 25.5.1. Yesterday, I updated to the new 25.6.1 hoping it would fix the issue… but it didn’t. Less than 3 minutes into a match, the game crashes to desktop with no error message. Unfortunately, there still seems to be no solution so far — the only workaround is rolling back to driver version 25.4.1.
My GPU is a 6700 XT, and my CPU is a Ryzen 7 5800X3D

    I’ve done a lot of research, and there really isn’t a solution so far. The only way is to roll back to version 25.4.1 of the driver, which works perfectly. Download the AMD Cleanup Utility, uninstall everything from the current driver, install version 25.4.1, and that’s it. It’s a relatively recent driver, so it shouldn’t cause issues in other games, even though it’s not the latest one.

    I have the same problem. Currently, only the old driver 25.4.1 or older works. All other solutions circulating online have failed so far. My system: AMD 5950X (no OC) + PowerColor Red Devil 6900XT (no OC). 1200-watt power supply, completely water-cooled.

    I found a fix for mine, I'm using the latest drivers Adrenalin 25.5.1  I had to enable secure boot in the bios.
    Looking in the event viewer, I was also getting EA anticheat error, amd driver timeout error and directx driver errors to.
    it fixed all my problems and it seems to be working fine now, its been working good for 4 days now, 
    I cap my fps in MSI afterburner my fps flat lines on the graph in game.
    I had tried everything,
    I uninstalled drivers in safe mode with DDU, reinstalled driver,
    I clear/reset shader cache,
    Installed Any Pending Windows Updates,
    I Disabled the Multi-Plane Overlay Using the Registry Editor,
    I had Change and Set the Power Plan to Best Performance,
    I Disabled Fast Startup, windows feature,
    it was still crashing after that, I then enable secure boot in the bios and it worked, its not crashed since.
