Battlefield 2042 DirectX crash FIX

Now I am uncertain of this fix working for other GPUs but i personally know it works with the 6900xt gpu. (@Heroxoot told me of this fix ) 

Go to your GPU software (AMD Radeon Software, Geforce Nvidia) 

Go to Battlefield 2042 and tune the performance

Go to GPU max frequency and turn it down in increments of 5% until it stops crashing 

So far this has fixed my problem, now obviously you will notice a performace drop because you are only using 70ish% of the graphics card (but only for this game and others you set this to do) Sometimes you might have to go back in and turn it back down to the % it stopped crashing but 

Current Specs:

Red Devil AMD Radeon RT 6900 xt

AMD Ryzen 3950x 16-core

Asus TUF Gaming X570-plus 

128/GB ram

Windows 10 

4 terabytes total SSD/M.2

With the max frequency being turned down to 70%, I play battlefield 2042 at 4k with medium to high graphics settings, with an average of 67.5 fps thoughout 7 hours of game play with the fix applied, and the amd software says its at optimal performance grade, though it could be excellent once optimized.

I DID NOT FIND THIS FIX!!! @Heroxoot  told me of it (idk if he/she/they found it), I do not know of this fix working for other cards so dont hate me lol. Im just trying to make sure people know of the fix.

    you shouldn't have to lower anything to play this game....you paid for the components something on their end is screwing you over...just like many of us.

    This has also helped me. 

    I'm glad that i can at least now PLAY the game I've paid for. - Though having to substantially gimp my GPU to do it is a shidful experience. ..Thanks EA.  

    RX 6800 XT gimped to 1700Mhz (75%)

    Thank you very much for your contribution, now at least I can play with my RX 6900 XT at 70%. Before, it would take me out of all the games and it would give me DirectX12 failure.

    @EA_Atic The game that EA has released and how poorly optimized it is is a real shame. They should take more care of the community and give them quality products. After all, without us you would be nobody.
