Crashing as soon as the round starts. 0xC0000005

Hi Hazewald​ 
Could you send a DxDiag file so we can find some clues based on the errors it contains?

Press the Windows and R keys at the same time.
Type DxDiag in the window that appears, then click Save all information and save the file wherever you want.
Then drag and drop the file here, then click Share - add the .txt file as an attachment.

Thank you 😄

Was just gettin ready to 

Similar. I'm able to run the game for about an hour +/- and then it fails, vaporizes, like an Alt F4, and often in the event log I find the same error code which references problem with EA Anticheat.  This crash process has repeated about 8-10 times at least over the last two days. I've deleted and reinstalled BF2042 clean, tried running the game as "administrator", turned off Bitdefender Antivirus which I suspected of interfering with EA AC. Nothing works so far.  Running i7-12700 / RTX 5080. DxDiag below

A couple event logs:

Hi Hazewald​ NapoleonBlownApt​ 
Thanks for your DxDiag.
Before I give you a solution that I already know, could you try playing in 1080p and let me know if you still encounter the same problem ?

Let me know 😃

FYI I just tried limiting FPS to 120 and that resulted in "DXGI Error Device Hung" twice in a row, so I went back to unlimited FPS. I'm playing on an ultrawide not sure 1080P will look but will try it now.

Just ran 1080P which lasted <3 minutes and vaporized Alt F4 fashion with the following event code:

Relaunched on 1440p and <1 min crash w/ same event code. The latest crashes are happening very fast; previously I had Bitdefender toggled off for both Antivirus and Advanced Threat Defense and, if only coincidentally, I was getting longer game sessions before crash. Going to toggle off Bitdefender again and see if games last longer than 2-3 minutes.

Thank you NapoleonBlownApt​ 
Can you try the steps in this tutorial : &#39;Failed to Launch Game: An Error on Our End&#39; for Multiple Games. Any Fixes? | EA Forums - 12494514  one by one and let me know if it works ?
Because this error is very random and can be caused by many different things.

Let me know 😀

try a lower OC at youre memory , or diable XMP/DOCP/EXPO and test again.
Cheers

Hazewald​ if you have a 13th or 14th gen Intel CPU, try updating the motherboard BIOS Firmware to the latest version.

Those generation CPUs are known to have stability issues which are fixed with BIOS updates.
