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...

I have done the following:
- Clean OS installation
- BIOS update
I did do a test with 1 RAM stick, in each slot. See the table for the results:
So first of all, thank you for the suggestion. By looking at the result of the test, note the following:
- One RAM stick could be faulty -
- I tried 2 sticks of RAM in A1/B1 - Battlefield had graphical issues, similar to what I had before.
- One RAM stick works perfectly fine - all games work (most cases games ran on the first try properly)
- 2 or more RAM sticks together is causing the issue apparently. Looking at the table, I'd say the best combo is A1/B1. Yet, all sticks had at least one minor issue where I had to try again with the game.
I did not do a BIOS reset yet. XMP is disabled. But at least now, I can play properly (played for 2 hours + on a single stick of RAM with no issues at all).
Now I need to verify which pair of RAM is causing the issue. Or to be safe, get a new pair.
I also checked that these 2 pairs are identical in terms of speed, voltage, etc.
Finally, I did a MemTest for more than an hour yesterday, no errors were found.
@iElessar Dont buy 2 sets (batches) , it should be one package with just 1 , or 2 , or 4 ram sticks in it.
Ram sticks in 2 different packages could be differemt build batches , even if it is the same partnumber!
if ya use just 1 ram stick , then it should be in bank A1 <-- use only one stick and test game, stick ok, get it out and try other one
if ya use 2 sticks, then ya use bank A2 and B2 <-- is for dual channel , better / more performance , check manual.
If ya buy new ram sticks i would buy 1 set - (same batch check google for it) - of 2 sticks of 32gb = total 64gb) and set them at bank A2 and B2
Keep us up to date , cheers
ps dont test sticks with onboard or 3rd party app/software.
Very often this app/software doesnt show any error, just test it while playing bf2042
Also if there are issues with enabling XMP then there is a memory or cpu issue or compatibiliteit ! some time bios - outdated for example or bugged)
