[FIXED] BF2042 DIRECTX ERROR (FEB-2025)
Hello Greetings,
Recently I've noticed DirectX Error with BF2042 since recent Windows update in starting of Feb-25.
AS like you I've also tried everything like Downgrade Graphics Driver/Update Windows/Update EA App/Clear Cache/Reinstall Game etc.
WHAT I FOUND IS MENTIONED BELOW.
- Clear cache of EA app. (How to - https://help.ea.com/in/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/)
- Log out from EA app.
- Log in again in EA app.
- Press WINDOWS + R to open RUN box.
- Type devmgmt.msc.
- Expand Display Adapters.
- Right click on Dedicated Graphics other than NVIDIA/AMD.
- Disable it.
- Restart PC. (DON'T FORGET THIS STEP)
- Open BF2042 and GO.
Note :-
- You'll see some changes on your main desktop screen like icon and font size change etc.
- After doing this I got DirectX Error/Freezing Screen issue only 2 times in total 4 hours of play.
KINDLY NOTE THAT THE WORD USED *FIXED* IS ONLY FOR *DRAW ATTENTION* OF ALL PLAYERS WHO ARE STRUGGLING WITH THIS ISSUE. IT'S NOT OFFICIALLY FIXED BY GAME/DEVELOPERS ITSELF.
IT'S JUST GIVE IT A TRY. I'VE TRIED AND MINE IS WORKING NOW. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR UPDATE BUT IN RESPONSE IS NEGETIVE. SO BETTER WE CAN PLAY FOR WHICH WE HAVE PAID RATHER SIT AND WAITING FOR UPDATE.
Kindly reply from your end with your experience with this and let me know if this is working for all or not.
Warm Regards,
