Summarize your bug While I am playing the game suddenly freezes. Sometimes this is while a match is loading, right after the match loads, sometimes it is during game play, and sometimes it is at redeploy following a death in game.
How often does the bug occur? Over the last few days occasionally (10% - 49%), However this morning it has been frequent (100% of matches played/attempted)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Due to the random nature of this bug I do not know how to replicate it. It appears to occur randomly after launching into a match. My experience has been that it occurs more frequently at specific times of the day. On the days of 20.10.2022 and 20.21.2022 I've experienced the issue in nearly every match I've attempted to play before noon 12:00pm Central Standard Time (CST) UTC-06:00. On 20.10.2022 games played during the evening hours (after 5pm UTC-06:00) experienced the issue, but I was able to complete matches without encountering a freeze.
What happens when the bug occurs? The game completely freezes. I cannot do anything from within the game. I have to forcefully turn off the client.
What should be happening instead? the game should not be freezing
My PC is not a high end machine, but has generally worked fine since launch. To my knowledge, nothing from my PC has changed when this issue started to occur. The game had worked fine for several days following the last windows update, and my video drivers have not changed. I first noticed the issue following the a game update several days ago. I have the Origin client on my PC. In-game is disabled from Origin. When this occurs, crash dump files are NOT being created in \Documents\Battlefield 2042\CrashDumps. Attached is a DirectX diagnostic that I ran following 5 attempts to play, all of which resulted in a frozen game.
A quick question, can you disable Origin overlay or EA app over ay depending on what client you use to play Battlefield 2042 and see if the same issue happends.
I had already disabled EA app overlay before the problems start to occurs and it never prevent the freezes.
I played this morning, no freeze (happy me). yesterday evening, well the game was freezing a lot. I noticed two things before the crash :
- first an anormal lag probably high pings before freeze.
- second : in the main menu, in the collection there were no pictures of attachments, or skins, or weapons... It was replaced by à loading square. I launch a game and it freeze during loading.
I don't know how does a game work, but I've the intuition that the server send us something that the client doesn't like... But I'm probably wrong ! :D

I followed your procedure and the game freezes when loading the game
@EA_Atic
I also had the origin overlay disabled since forever. Because of some mouse input lags, I even deleted the igo64.dll (which is the in game overlay).
No matter what drivers, which windows updates, real time protection, cleared cache, etc. I STILL get freezes and it happens since the 18th of october (BEFORE the 2.2 game patch).
Before this issue I was able to play for 465 hours, without any problems like that.
Tried this and instead of kicking me to desktop i got kicked to main screen with a message in red popping up in the top right, was too fast to read though ☹️ Tried again with all overlays turned off and back to desktop crash
@EA_Atic
I had the same freezing issue after the latest patch on October 20. Game was freezing at launch or in the begging of a map. Solved it by deleting cache and PROFSAVE_profile in user's documents folder. It will reset all of your settings.
Update: problem came back☹️
Update2: Had some smooth matches after launch as admin.

Summarize your bug Since PAtch 2.2 Game freezes shortly after Start of a round and can only be restart after "killing" the Game via TaskManager. Cant play the Game anymore. Already switched from Origin to the new App, already Tried repairing the Game. Btw had to fix EasyAnticheat after Repairing the Game because this installed an old version of AntiCheat that prevented the game from Launching at all.
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Dont Know? Try 2 Play the Game after installing the new patch?
What happens when the bug occurs? Game Freezes and Picture wont move anymore no error message at all, just frozen.
What should be happening instead? Playing the game!!!!!
BTW
Just a heads up.
I was having this happen and when I turned off Nvidia Overlay, the problem has not occurred again. Just played several successful rounds without an issue.
