Battlefield 2042 Random Crashes
Hello everyone, I have been having crashes in 2042 since its inception. I played this game in 3 different configurations and I can say that aside from needing a very stable overclock, you HAVE TO ...

@VitaIickwhat kind of crashes do you get? I get sometimes directx crashes when doing stuff on my 2nd screen and the game is running, but besides that no crashes and I have XMP activated. (also the crashes got more rare since some nvidia driver updates and game updates!)
@Rokebo73 : don't get me wrong, but flashing a bios can end really bad sometimes, you can brick your whole mb when something goes wrong (not all modern mb's have a backup bios!) and usually if stuff is running fine(besides bf..) even the vendors mention it should not be done when not necessary
Hey there.
At first the game was plgued by DX DEVICE HUNG errors. That was just unstable overclock on GPU, specially more prevalent on AMD as overclock settings kind of vary from game to game. So the fix for that is to set the AMD GPU tuning settings to stock.
On NVIDIA you don't tend to get too many driver errors. However the fix is the same. On AMD even undervolting the GPU instantly causes a crash even though its running underspec and is stable everywhere.
Recently my crashes were just no errors at all, the game would just close to the desktop. No warnings, no error message. Nothing. Which I instantly assumed it would be memory related. So ever since disabling XMP and just letting the rams be at default JEDEC settings from the motherboards. That fixed everything.
I was the only one getting crashes on 3 different PCs, the only constant is my PC master race need to tweak rams as high as I can. So I figured stock xmp/expo profiles would be stable enough. I was wrong. To stabilize all I had to do is set memory frequency to auto and let the board run with memories underspec. No more crashes/close to desktop. Game runs fine.
However it's a poopy fix, because the ultra low memory default settings make the game have massive frame drops sometimes. This is obvious behavior as the game is very CPU bound.
It plays fine with no crashes now.
How did you solve the problem? I am cpu is 5800x, although I turned down the frequency, the game will still flash back as well.
