    @dr3amnightmare 

    Got it, thanks for the update!

    Does it seem like it's crashing at any specific point in-game? For instance, does it happen when you're opening a particular menu or interacting with something, or is it just entirely random? 

  • @LuckSl3vIn Go into the radeon software, select BF2042 from your games list, and click tune game performance. Drop the max clock % top 75% and see if it crashes. This works for me and several other people on 6800/6900XT.
  • @EA_KentThe problem is solved by reducing GPU clocks. For some reason the game does not give the GPU high load and thus crashes. I have a similar build to a friend. Ryzen CPU 5th gen, 6900XT. His gets 100% load in matches while my 6900XT does not. Reducing my GPU clocks just for BF2042 solves the issues entirely. now I also get a 100% load, no crashing. Something is wrong with the game and it's GPU usage.

  • Hey Kent,

    I wish it was that easily reproducible where I could tie it down to a UI item or trigger but alas it is completely random throughout the game. Sometimes I can play 4-5 games no problem, other times I can't play more than 2 without crashing and I am unsure as to why since I monitor my system vitals frequently since this began.

    Thanks! I will try this tonight and see how it plays!

    Thanks for the updates!

    Were you able to try the steps that Heroxoot suggested above? Are you still running into any crashes afterward? 

  • Hey Kent,

    I did try what Heroxoot said, I played about 5-6 games with no issues. Still need to play a couple more days to make sure but initial impressions seem to be good as a temporary solution until a proper fix can be implemented by the BF team
