Black screen and or freeze
I re installed battlefield 2042 July 30th. I'm able to play one match when the match ends I see the ribbon score screen the battle pass score screen then after that it goes to black screen with sound...

So I thought I was the only person getting this for a couple of months...turns out I'm not.
I have concluded that it must be one of these issues:
- my older CPU 4790K (which is below spec but ran fine before July) is having issues with some new instruction set that only BF2042 uses after Update 1.0
- Something in windows 10 causing a conflict (cannot upgrade to 11 with this CPU but no issues in any other title/program)
- My Broadband speed/ping. I'm running on ethernet but I only get 26mb download...however all worked fine previously.
- Easy anti cheat...not based on anything but I have no idea what it is actually doing in the background
- Server issue...it only happens on loading map or menu and don't know if there is some verification going on between server/client that is carping out.
- Game issue...which is probably only affecting 2% of players and is probably some hardware/software conflict
I have done every possible troubleshooting thing that I can...please don't tell me another basic one, I'm an IT systems guy, I have done it!
The only thing I haven't done is reinstall windows and that is not happening because I cannot get one game stable! (a mechanic doesn't rebuild his workshop because he cannot get one car working)
I have never once had a mid round/game crash (which is a miracle) but I do get the Black Screen at the end of match (after BattePass page before coming back to main menu) and I get loading issues on the map loading screen (the plus icon freezes and the sound stops)
It happens at random...I can play 10 rounds perfectly and then on the 11th it will stop. Alternatively it can happen on the first round of a session and keep happening every other round...I have ended BF2042 with task manager so many times now that I have got a batch file to do it quickly!
My defeatist thoughts are that this issue will never get addressed...not enough people have it and not enough to allocate resources to fix it. Would love to be proven otherwise but i have seen too many people sending DXdiag reports and not one single solution, just a try this!
I have liked BF2042 since the start...not perfect but getting better all the time. I hate that 6-7months in, after playing perfectly (albeit slowly on my old machine) I have started getting these issues and I'm starting to realise that I need to look to playing something else until I get a new PC and hope it isn't an issue after that.
I stopped playing late December early January due to the game being boring not because of this black screen or map loading screen freeze. I re installed the game July 30th and have been experiencing the black screen after the battlepass score screen. This is not the players hardware issue. The fact I reinstalled windows (which deletes everything off your computer) and only have steam origin nvidia driver and bf2042 installed says alot. No overlays are on. A clean boot will not solve the issue. Nothing the player does will fix this problem. I have a strange feeling that when DICE releases everything that was promised they will then end support for the game. So then I'd assume they will not try to fix this problem.
