Game crashes upon death

battlefield 2042 crash on death

It seems like you're experiencing crashes in Battlefield 2042 specifically when you die. This is a known issue, and many players, especially those with AMD graphics cards, have reported similar problems

. 

Here's a summary of potential causes and solutions, based on community experiences and technical analyses:

Possible Causes:

AMD Drivers: There's strong evidence suggesting that recent AMD Adrenalin drivers (particularly version 25.5.1) are causing this crash-on-death issue for some users, especially those with Radeon 6000 series cards. The crash analysis often points to an access violation within the amdxc64.dll file, which is part of the AMD graphics drivers.
Corrupted/Missing Game Files: Like many game issues, crashes can be caused by problems with the game files themselves.
Game Cache: Corrupted or outdated game cache files can also lead to instability and crashes.
Other Factors: Less common but still possible causes include overclocking, conflicting background software, outdated operating system/game patches, and network issues. 

Potential Solutions:

Downgrade AMD Drivers (Most Recommended): If you have an AMD graphics card, especially a Radeon 6000 series card, the most effective solution reported by users is to downgrade your AMD Adrenalin driver to version 25.3.1.
Steps:
Open AMD Install Manager and disable "Automatically keep AMD software up to date".
Go to the AMD drivers and support website.
Search for your graphics card model and find the previous driver version 25.3.1.
Download and install it, choosing the "Install over" option (do not restore).
Ensure the automatic update setting remains disabled.
Note: Some users suggest using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) for a cleaner downgrade.
