Exception Code 0xc0000005. Game crash

10-60 minutes into gameplay game crashes with Exception Code 0xc0000005 in logs. How to fix this? Tried everything, from downgrading to 577.00 driver to reinstalling ea app, eaac and game itself.

  • After a few minutes, the problem was resolved. Here are the steps that led to its resolution: 

    Uninstall completely EAAntiCheat via
    EAAntiCheat.Installer.exe > \Battlefield 2042\EAAntiCheat (folder)

    -Uninstall completely EAAntiCheat file in \Battlefield 2042 (folder)







    - Checked and repaired system files via CMD 
    (always open CMD in Administrator)

    sfc /scannow (In first) 
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth (in seconde after sfc /scannow is finish)

    Grant full permissions to all users for the files :
    -> C:\Program Files\EA
    -> And the folder where the game is located "Battlefield 2042" (may vary)

    ---Restart your computer---

    - Install EAAntiCheat via EAAntiCheat.Installer.exe > \Battlefield 2042\EAAntiCheat

    -Verify integrity of the game via steam (EA app it's "repair")
    - And launch the game

    Have good game ! 😄

    don't bother with the driver downgrade.. keep it all up to date. Limiting the frame rate in Nvidia control panel worked for me. Not a single crash since, been roughly a week.

    Hello Steeve_BF​, thx for reply. No, my problem hasnt been solved. Steps I've made to fix this issue:

    • Tested on newest whql nvidia drivers and on 577.00 (drivers were re/installed via DDU tool);
    • Reinstalled game fully and verified files + reinstalled and repaired EAAC;
    • Added EAAC, bf2042.exe and EA App to exceptions of windows antivirus;
    • Reinstalled EA App, before had deleted licensing keys from regedit (hoped it will reinstall keys on new sign in into ea app, thus Denuvo problem will be gone, if its denuvo crashing or conflicting with something);
    • Ran dxdiag and sfc /scannow in cmd (no errors found); 
    • Limited FPS through control panel to 90;
    • Ran temp tests, while playing - everything in normal boundaries;

    10-60 approximately minutes of gameplay - game crashes with same crashdump provided in the inquiry above. Played the game before EAAC update with security boot - game has never crashed.

    Also, played BF6 Beta Test - havent encountered such problems as provided here. Forgot to mention - disabled all overlays (RTTS, Nvidia etc) and tried forcefully make bf2042 to load with dx11 api instead of dx12.

    I see that you have already tried several solutions.. I think it would be better if we looked at it together on Discord, it will be smoother, and if we find the problem, a post will then be posted here to help other players who are experiencing the same issue.

    This does not work in the full launch unfortunately.

    I wonder if anyone will ever be able to explain what is happening, or why, or anything about it. Rather than just a list of try this...

    Congrats to those that fixed their issue with this random list of stuff. I can almost guarantee that it is a coincidence. 

    Still no known fix for the issue, and many others preventing people from enjoying the game.

    Oh well
