BF2042 Crashes to Desktop
I was playing the game for a few hours.. Really enjoying the game play. Went for some lunch came back, Now every time i join a game it crashes within 10 minutes of playing. Just crashes to Desktop,...
Forum Discussion
Any overlay app will cause this crash to desktop without an error like Discord overlay, MSI Afterburner + rivatuner, Origin overlay ,NZXTCAM overlay, and many others.
Try to disable any overlay draw and you should be able to play without any issues.
Hope this helps someone.

Programs CAN conflict with games at times. One thing we recommend doing is performing a clean boot and then immediately launch the game as administrator before you launch anything. This way if the game runs normally, it's possible one or a combination of overlays or other software running in the background can help lead up to the crash. Opening up one at a time is a good way to potentially find out the culprit, however this might not ultimately be the primary root cause of the crashes everyone is experience. Great callout though!

If you're still crashing after a clean boot, please provide us a DxDiag so we can gather this information for the Battlefield team.
It is also helpful to know any error messages you get when it crashes and describe what you're doing right before it crashes.How to gather DxDiag information

- @EA_Blueberry my crashing to desktop was caused by Discord overlay, not sure why. Once the overlay is disabled the game runs normally without any issues or crashes.

- @EA_Blueberry Game was working well enough until yesterday - there were bugs but no crashes. Yesterday crashes for both my wife's pc and my own. No driver updates, no recent Windows updates that we could see in the list, no game updates that we know of. Was there an update server side? No discord overlay, even turned off flow control for bf2042, no virus protection or firewalls running, no controller plugged in.
Just joystick, and playing on steam so can't turn off the origin in game overlay, and I think I need the steam overlay for my joystick to work, I forget.- EA_Blueberry
@Kuiriel
Can you try disabling Origin Overlay under Settings and see if it still crashes on you? As others have mentioned, Discord overlay was causing it for them and I've seen their overlay also cause mouse issues in the past.
Does it crash on you if you don't have the joystick plugged in and also steam's overlay turned off/on? That way we can determine if it could be the root cause?
