DirectX function errors
Hello,
Every since the last Nvidia updates (mid-March) and latest BF2042 updates, the game is almost unplayable.
I get DirectX crashes almost everytime I run the game at boot, or when connecting to a game, or if I'm lucky, a few minutes into a match.
My PC specs are:
- ROG Z790 Maximus Extreme
- i9 13900K
- ROG Strix 4090 OC
- Corsair Dominator DDR5 RAM 64gb (16x4)
- ROG Thor 1200w PSU
- Windows 11 Pro
The error messages are DirectX related and either are out of memory or drivers crashing.
I have tried the following:
- Clean Windows installation
- Completely wiped out SSDs
- Bought a new SSD and installed the game on it.
- Replaced GPU
- Rolled back to previous drivers after using DDU (tried every driver available all the way back to December 2022)
- Verified the game files in Steam
- Deleted the Documents folder for BF2042
- Enabled/Disabled GstRender.Dx12Enabled in the settings file.
- Updated GPU firmware.
- Turned off DLSS
- Stress tested GPU - no crashes or abnormal temps.
- Trying manually install DirectX12.
90% of the time, the game crashes, the rest of the time I can play a smooth game with no crashes at all or strange graphical artifacts in the game.
I have attached the error messages.
A game with a reputation like Battlefield's, coming from a company like EA and Dice should have proper testing, support, and releases. This is very disappointing. The game was stable a few updates back, now it is barely "loadable" let alone playable.
I hope someone gets in touch to resolve this - I'll provide whatever logs and tests needed.
