Hi, I'm having a similar issue where the game crashes while connecting to online services.  I've attached a picture of the error as well as dxdiag and the command referenced.  This issue happened about 4 hours into a session (so the game was running and working) and crashed in the middle of a match.  I've been unable to launch the game at all since, despite trying updating drivers, rolling back drivers, repairing and reinstalling the game, etc.

Thank you

Hi @sparten116 To confirm can you check Windows and AMD settings to confirm you are running the game through your AMD GPU and not the intel integrated graphics? 

  • AMD Settings |
  • Windows Settings 
    • System > Display
    •  Scroll down to 'Graphics Settings
    • Set preference to Desktop App > Browse to BF202 installation location
    • Select BF2042 .exe > Select options > High performance
