Battlefield 2042 DirectX Error

Hi all. I am unable to play Battlefield 2042 due to DirectX error related with GPU, for few days. Even though I manage to enter the main game screen and join a game, this error shows up after several minutes. I've tried EVERYTHING on the internet related to this problem. The regedit thing, tried almost every available driver for my GPU, the DDU thing, running as administrator or disabling fullscreen optimization, switching between fullscreen or borderless or changing some other settings in game, disabling in-game overlays, killing some background processes or shutting down some programs while game is running, deleting cache, updating BIOS and Windows, enabling/disabling core isolation memory integrity... None of them has worked. It is also a great success that you couldn't fix a problem which people are suffering since 2021, to 2025 @EA. Now please a developer from EA can tell me how I am going to solve this problem permanently? PC specs and screenshot of error are down below. Note that I'm getting 4-5 kind of similar DirectX errors, not the exact same error message with this one everytime.

CPU: i5-11400h

GPU: RTX3050 4GB Laptop

RAM: 2x8 GB DDR4 3200MHz

I solved my problem with this game lowering my RAM. I have Asus Z690f motherboard with 13600k cpu, Gskill DDR5 6400 cl32. No XMP activated. I set to 5800Mhz manually with the timings of XMP1 32-39-39-106. Secondary timings on AUTO. Voltage 1.40 like in 6400Mhz profile. I had many directx error and crash to desktop with no error before this, also with my previous system AMD 5900x and DDR4 RAM. Same GPU Zotac RTX3080 Trinity 10GB. No more crashes. I think all these errors of the game are related to OS, graphic drivers, OC of CPU and it' s difficult to understand the real problem. Everything new can generate issues. Hope this can help someone.

Hi, my experience is such that I can confirm that I can now play perfectly. I have Windows 11 again (upgraded from Windows 10) and everything works here. No more headaches for me, no more crashes.
Curiously, NO ONE HERE has paid attention to my comments and it seems that I am the only one who has fixed it... That's life...
