battlefield 2042 crashes without error

Thank you I think this is my problem too, I just downloaded the most recent drivers with a 6700xt and got this issue

For my 6700xt I installed the most recent before and experienced crashes, the bad driver was: 

Revision Number -Adrenalin 25.5.1 (WHQL Recommended)

File Size - 772 MB

Release Date - 2025-05-08

I rolled back to the following driver going under “Previous versions” for the drivers: 

Revision Number - Adrenalin 25.3.1 (WHQL Recommended)

File Size - 772 MB

Release Date - 2025-03-06

For my AMD drivers this worked for BF2042, though for BfV this may be too far back and you have to download a more recent version, same for others games since the downloaded drivers are older, may have to switch between drivers to play new games and 2042. Not that big of a deal really, If you have NVIDIA can try and rollback the same way but a different version, should help

Which driver version did you rollback to?

IN THE ORDER I TRIED THEM FOR MY AMD GPU, INTEL CPU

a. Verify Game 

b. Updating Bios to the latest version 

c. Updating Graphics Card

d. Make a user.cfg file and do the following

Thread.ProcessorCount 14

Thread.MinFreeProcessorCount 0

GstRender.Thread.MaxProcessorCount 20

Thread.JobThreadPriority 0

Thread.MaxProcessorCount 14

Finding how to adjust the CPU core and processors, matching system (14 was my Core, 20 was my processor, go to task manager under CPU)

e. In AMD adrenalin, changing the GPU frequency to the factory recommended for the max, and set min to 1500.

f. Deleting Game, reinstall

g. Updating Config Filecertifies this version had better chance.

h. Rolling back Graphics Card, specifically to WQHL version of AMD 6700xt, since windows

i. Deleting EA Desktop Cache in Appdata Roaming

j. Deleting EA Desktop Caches in Appdata Local

k. Clearing Computer storage by 150+GB making sure it wasn't the SSD being slow and shutting down

 l. Checking the Battlefield2042 Crash dumps, Go to Users > YourUser > Documents > Battlefield 2042 > Crash Dumps & take most recent one.

m. With the above Downloaded WinDbg to read the Crash Dump what the problem was related too, found it was related to the AMD software, so I figured the graphics card update was unstable and rolled it back to a previous window certified version. Maybe something else from dump for you.

n. Run as Administrator also.

- Worked after those attempts, confident rolling back drivers fixed the issue.

*Did not try and set CPU affinity or priority

Don't have NVIDIA but I imagine googling GeForce and the prompt after would show you how to do it. Before this point my game would be fine in menu, game loads quick and after 3 mins crashes, going on for 2 weeks. These fixes worked all of them, I believe most beneficial was rolling back the AMD driver as you can read the crash dump after downloading Windows' WinDbg. Also altering the CPU core and processor count to match your system, the Caches files important also. Either way try them all see if it helps.

Hi, i fix this problem so .. uninstal Drivers and instal 

AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition

Revision Number

Adrenalin 25.3.1 (WHQL Recommended) or Adrenalin 25.3.2 (Optional), last update is broken on my PC at BF 2042

and now everything fine ;)       only for me maybe :/

Same with Xbox S. BF42 just looses connection to EA servers in middle of the game. Very annoying. Emptying the cash don't help either.

You could wait forever for EA to fix it. They seem to expect their customers to work for them for free

I know this post is old but i had this issue as well. My fix was turning off overlay in nividia experience. Thx for all the posts btw.
