I restarted playing Battlefield 2042 recently and everytime, I get a blue screen randomly at some point during the gameplay. It can take 5 minutes, 20 minutes or 1 hour. I don't have this problem playing any other game. I have attached my dxdiag. Let me know if you need anything else.
For me the problem was ExpressVPN. I had to disable all of its services to be able to play BF2042 without crashing to Desktop or a BSOD. I believe the EA anti-cheat software is considering it cheating software even though I wasn't actively using a VPN when playing BF2042, and I am not sure how a VPN would help me cheat anyway.
Maybe you should check for similar Windows services on your computer and stop them; you might have to do it after every reboot if you don't disable the services.
Hopefully EA can fix their anti-cheat software to whitelist ExpressVPN and other affected applications.
Yes it's what i say since the beginning, its just there last update..
But you know when i had this there was no topic about it so you do the basics.
But you right i will not lose anymore time, reinstall windows or flash and reset my bios motherboard that will make it vulnerable if you dont have the last update bios.
There is no interrest from EA in this thread also.
Hello everyone!After a recent update the game won't open for me.It says that my game files are corupted and the game can't read them.Tried repairing/uninstaling/pc restart and also deleted all the files from documents for BF2042.Im using PC to play on.Never had this problem with the game untill now.How can I fix this?Anyone knows?
@Rokebo73I never had any heat issues with my specs , using a very well "air flowed" be quiet! Dark Base and iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX Liquid CPU Cooler never went above 70-73c in heavy usage games.
I had crashing issues with UE5 games all the time that's why i started tweaking , never had any BSOD's but I went the PL1 and Pl2 route @ 253 aswell and kept my clocks at x54 no issues since and no i won't bother getting their micro-code for the same settings I manually put in myself.
I won't waste anymore time tweaking this CPU , have 2 more years of warranty and I will sell this little t.urd next year and go with 15th gen hopefully will iron out all these issues , this gen was a nightmare and i want to erase it from my memory.
Anyway never had so many issues with a game in my life as I had with BF 2042.
Hopefully the next BF will we catered way better.
Been experiencing similar problems, I thought it was AV not getting on with EAC, but I turned it off and it still eventually BSOD... although it starts randomly with the KB no longer responding, I can see the game going on around me, just can't move, then the game ends with BSOD.
Having tried 3x AV I think I've stumbled on the problem- it's the Firewall rules has gone squiffy, it's full of the same rule. Anyhoo, defaulted the FW rules (a clean 12 ish rules after default). Started the game, I got so far, then game crashed out (better than BSOD) but I got the FW rule asking if I wanted to let BF through (I said yes yes). Restarted EA, then BF, it's been running fine since even with AV on.
