Bf2042 crash to desktop

For unkown reason bf2042 crashes to desktop.
Did repair game files, did sfc /scannow.
Did chkdsk /f /r
Latest windows drivers and MB drivers installed.
Latest gpu driver (already did ddu in safemode)

Want to know if there is some hardware issue at my system, cause bf2042 is creating crashdumps (included in this post).
Any dev/supporter could ya check those crashdumps and tell me what causes those crashes.
Maybe some hardware is going to be broken , or some unknown system cfg that cause those issues.

Some errors in dxdiag , didnt check / fix them (yet).
Friendly reagrds Rokebo73


Cheers

  • Try siging up for their News when the game starts. It kept booting me until I did and now it seams to run

    "siging up for their News when the game starts" you jocked?

  • Need to say , that the crashes i got , are at random.
    Not every day  (sometimes multiple times a day).
    Did check system and software in mean time.

    Did clear all LOGS that are in eventviewer. and made a new DXDIAG.
    Now i checked dxdiag for drivers (version/whql).
    Had to fix Network driver and Intel management engine interface #1.
    Did update to latest GPU driver (rtx4090 clean install).

    Windows update did give some issues with latest cumalative update.
    Took very long time to download and install (had to force reboot/shutdown time 2 times).

    Downloaded Samsung Magician (no errors issues).
    Used SFC and Dism commands , no issues
    Deleted index by using Index options in control panel and let it rebuild.


    During those days also new windows updates done and BF2042 (8.5.0) updates.
    Till now no crash to desktop or any other issue with game (yet !!!).
    included new Dxdiag in this message.

    Now testing already for almost 3 days ,  "i hope problem got solved"  :) 

    Cheers

    Ps before all this, i did of course deleted bf2042 cache and all cfg files from bf2042.
    Also deleted all EA AC files and folders.
    Deleted dxcache.
    I dont use any overlay , vpn , virus/malware scanner ect ect
    Did not do a cleanboot, cause i didnt change any cfg/files.

  • Having the same issue even with the Windows 11, version 23H2.

    After the BF update and Nvidia driver i cannot connect anymore, game crash. sometimes DirectX error.

    Did all the updates, reinstall, install again, repair. Nothingggggggggggg

    EA Fix this pleaseeeeeeeeeee

  • Good news everyone! 
    This Directx error maybe about auto-HDR Windows setting.

    My setup: main monitor in laptop with HDR and second via HDMI old TN (without HDR support):
    1. two monitors pluged -- directx error
    2. only HDR monitor -- workting well.
    3. two monitors and disabled HDR in main monitor -- workting well.

  • It seems to work properly, i have simply clear the EA app cache, like sjggested by some users. Clear cache, rebooted and it' s 3 times it nornally joins a conquest 128 game server, finally.

    Hope it works for you too guys

    I ran into this on BF6 beta and 2042.  9950X3D 7900XTX.  Tried reinstalling, drivers, and more then a dozen recommendations.   Switched to a B580 ran perfectly.  I hear that turning off SSAO is the magic to fix this.

  • Are you running from Steam or EA desktop?  This could be important.  What happened to me was when I booted 2042 from Steam, it would give me a black splash screen right after javelin booted.  But get this... when i installed BF 6, it has a newer EAAntiCheat than 2042 and they do not play well together.  Long story short, it took a day for ChatGPT and I to figure out that we needed to download the correct repository for Anticheat from Steam's direct repository, and even then, it is a hidden one so you won't find it easy, but ChatGPT did.  It will tell you to run Powershell scripts and CMD scripts, reboot (hundreds of times) until it narrows down exactly what to do, but yes, it did fix my system to boot 2042 without crashing.  I would start there.  Tell ChatGPT exactly what it is doing, when it is doing it and the results.  Copy and paste any results from CMD or Powershell when it asks for results and for heaven's sake, tell it to do steps one at a time!!!  If you don't specify this, it will present multiple possible solutions and by the time you decide to figure out which one to use, it will forget about the other ones, so you then have to remind it.

    Basically, My version of BF2042 was trying to utilize BF 6's and they are not compatible, but you can't just run the anticheat installer because in Windows, it thinks it is using the correct one.  Hope this helps point you in the right direction.
