BF2042 freezes frequently in menus but revives itself after...

During gameplay, I have no problems at all, but before starting action, on any static menu such as Classes, Collection etc, the gam freezes (while the mouse pointer is still active). I get it into windowed mode with Alt-Enter and get it again to full screen (by another Alt-Enter). It resumes. Somehow I think this started to happen after my final Windows update below:

2024-09 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 23H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5043076)

I have my final AMD Adrenaline drivers (24.8.1) and DXDiag shows no errors. So does anyone have similar problem? I will try to uninstall the final update from MS but before that, I would like to know if this is a common problem or not.

Many thanks in advance.

  • The EA app updated two times and the game 1 time. The problem seems to be solved.

  • I have uninstalled the latest Windows 11 security patch, I went back to a previous Adrenaline drivers but the problem still persists. So my understanding is that it is due to the latest BF patch because I have gone back to known good state.

    Btw, this freezing (and unfreezing) happens also on the map menu.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi 🙂

    I have 3 HDs in my system:

    1- Main NVME SSD (BF2042 is here)

    2- SSD for other games

    3- Hard Disk for storage

    Other than that, I have my gfx card AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT. And basically, this is it. The rest is on my motherboard (sound, ethernet etc). This system is working very well and stable for 3 years. And  I've been playing this game since its launch, and this is the first time I have this kind of problem.

    The DxDiagreport , which is inside my first post, has other details if you need.

    Best,

    M
