Battlefield 2042 was playing fine on my system in the last update but now when I try to start the game I am met with an error saying: DirectX function "m_d3d12PipelineLibrary1-> LoadPipeline(HashStrDx12(key), &desc, FB_IIDPPV_ARGS(&pipelineState))" failed with E_OUTOFMEMORY ("Direct3D could not allocate sufficient memory to complete the call.")GPU: "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090" , Driver: 53118.D:\dev\TnT\LocalPackages\RenderCore2\2.04.00-ks\source\platform\PcDx12\PipelineLibraryPcDx12.ccppFrom what I can make out it seems like the error is trying to say I don't have enough memory. With my specs, I should have plenty of memory the only other game that has recently been doing this to me is Fortnite when I play in DirectX 12.Any suggestions to fix this? Here are my specs:CPU: Intel® Core™ i9-13900K ProcessorGraphics Card: MSI GAMING TRIO GeForce RTX 4090Motherboard: MSI MEG Z790 Ace Gaming Motherboard Z790ACEHard Drive: WD_BLACK SN850X NVMe™ 4TBRAM: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB Series (Intel XMP) 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin SDRAM DDR5 6000Power Supply: MEG Ai1300P PCIE5

@K1LJ0YX MY CPU 13900k+3090,Battlefield 2042 DirectX Error,like yours.COD19 DirectXCrash,APEX can not Open Gane.Lock My CPU 5G(P core),Default 5.5G is not good.Every thing is OK,Please do not thank me.My Video Card Driver Version:528.49 .Date:2023.5.14

So I finally got around to going down your guide. I tried to clear the CMOS first, unfortunately, it did not seem to do anything for me so then I went on to do the clean windows install. After that, I installed my drivers and downloaded steam, and launched Battlefield 2042 it did let me in but as soon as I tried to get into a match it froze and crashed, and then any further attempts to launch led to the previous error message "Out Of Memory" I am very confused as to what this could be. I just wanted to say I have appreciated your help up to this point I have tried contacting Nvidia, EA Support, and even Steam Discussions and you have put in more time helping me than anyone else. I am hoping you might have some idea of what I might try next but if not that's totally fine. So the Ram in my system is "G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB Series (Intel XMP) 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin SDRAM DDR5 6000 CL30-40-40-96 1.40V Dual Channel Desktop Memory F5-6000J3040G32GA2-TZ5RK" I will include some files with my system info I hope this might help.

Deactivating "ReBAR" in BIOS could help with this problem... (it helped me)you should also check if your cpu is stable, i also have the 13900k and its a *... try for example downloading prime95 and run it with the max heat option... it should NOT crash!Hope this helps

It is cache corruption I believe. same specs as you. Was getting the same issue after running fine for a long time. You need to look for a file that has cache in its name. Delete it and then reboot the game. The file can be found in the main battlefield 2042 folder. Give this a try and see if it works.

This worked for me the file is called CacheSim.dll delete this file it will be in your main bf2042 foldeer where the game exe is located

@Rokebo73 My motherboard is the MSI MEG Z790 ACE and it is currently running the latest firmware. I am actually currently running the hotfix driver 531.26. I have tried some older drivers with no improvement in outcome. I used a software called "Display Driver Uninstaller" to insure a clean install and the thing is if I go too old like to December Battlefield will tell me unable to boot driver out of date. Is there a particular version you would recommend?

@K1LJ0YX Hey man.
I do see you got a few times a BSOD !
Did ya OC CPU and memory ?
Its possbile youre windows is broken or youre system configuration got an issue.
Please do a cmos reset:

Is this the memory ya got installed in youre system ? Is it the exact same partnumber (bolded line)
G.SKILL F5-6000J3040G32GX2-RS5K DDR5 4800 6000 SK hynix M
Are ya able to select memory oc profiles in bios , without issues ?
If a cmos reset didnt help, ya could try to update youre hardware drivers, read this:
SYSTEM DRIVERS AND CHIPSET UPDATE
Check the Youtube movie how to install , download and update ALL drivers.
https://youtu.be/6UpzenfVOAA
Open the web browser and enter url: https:\\www.drivereasy.com
Click at Driver Update Tool in the upper bar and select Download Free Version.
Click at the green button with the text DOWNLOAD DRIVER EASY NOW.
When tool is downloaded select the file and run.
Install Driver Easy Tool.
Some drivers updates need to reboot your system, reboot system when needed,
continue using Driver Easy untill 'ALL' drivers are updated.
This free version allows only 1 download and 1 update at once
Do this little guide
!: Do a cmos reset, after reset go into bios and load optimized defaults (do not change any bios settings yet, so no oc ect ect ect)
2: Boot Windows and use DriverEasy to update all system drivers (do not update GPU driver)
3: if ya still got issues after step 1 and 2, then its possible youre windows is broken somehow.
Repair/Install Windows, by installing Media Creation Tool, open tool and choose to Upgrade Now. This reinstalls Windows while keeping files, programs and most settings in place, is the most stable method to advance to the latest version, and solves most problems. Tutorial here: https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/fix-windows-10-repair-install
Do not keep files/programs/documents ect ect , do a fresh clean windows install (quick format youre C: drive !!)
Make a backup from youre files ya want to keep before ya format , keep it at a other drive !!
4: Only install the gameplatform you did buy BF2042 at !!!
Update us please !
Cheers

Deactivating "ReBAR" in BIOS could help with this problem... (it helped me)
you should also check if your cpu is stable, i also have the 13900k and its a *... try for example downloading prime95 and run it with the max heat option... it should NOT crash!
Hope this helps

@K1LJ0YX Question ?
You did post this partnumber in to youre last post:
Memory F5-6000J3040G32GA2-TZ5RK
I do not see that partnumber being supported for the current CPU ya use !
It seems this memory is NOT SUPPORTED !

if im correct , then this is youre motherboard:
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MEG-Z790-ACE/support#mem

Select the button MEMORY BY 13th GEN K SERIES
Then sort by VENDOR , and go to page 12 and page 13 , that is Gskill memory supported by youre CPU.
I think youre memory is causing issues with youre CPU and Motherboard !!!
If this mem is NEW , then return it and get compatible memory for youre cpu !!

Update us please !!

Cheers

Just wanted to quote this. Resizable BAR, or ReBar for short, can indeed sometimes cause issues.

Gigabyte has shared a good article about what ReBar is: https://www.gigabyte.com/WebPage/785/NVIDIA_resizable_bar.html.
