Let's start with your attaching a DXDIAG report, so we can see what we're working with. (assuming you're on PC)

Let me attach the report

Thanks for the DXDIAG report. It looks pretty good - updated drivers, etc. There is nothing blatantly wrong that I see.
The Diagnostics section at the bottom suggests Windows may not have updated correctly, so I suggest you look into that.
Also, make sure your memory speed in BIOS matches what your CPU supports.

Try this post #463 (Of course this post describes how to remove the Nvidia cache, I don't know where the Radeons have the cache, you would have to ask your uncle google) :
+ delete BF2042 folder cache --> (...)\Documents\Battlefield 2042
If this not help then analyze whether the errors with BF2042 originated after some Windows update, if so, remove the faulty update.
Microsoft likes to test its patches on users, so there's a good chance that a Windows update caused your problem.
Also test your RAM with some program. It's possible that you have a mismatched RAM, or you've hit on some junk. Every game uses different calculations, so it's also possible that just your RAM may have a problem with BF2042.
Also check this post, the problem you are describing was very popular, maybe you can find some solution to your problem at this link?

BIOS is supposed to control the components installed in the computer and read them correctly.Windows, MB and GPU drivers and add-ons such as Microsoft Visual C++ , DirectX and derivatives are responsible for handling the game.
I have never updated Windows and had no problems with games. I only update the BIOS if I want to, for example, change the processor to a newer generation, or there is a bug in an older version of the bios that causes, for example, incorrect support for OC or XMP RAM profiles. I also only update the GPU drivers if the game asks me to, or I have the latest GPU on the market. In my case when I have an RTX 2080S, for example, GPU updates don't make sense because the older product is slowed down in favor of the newer one. It's like that with everything, even phones 🙂.
I used to update Windows 10 offline until WIndows 11, then I gave up on that because every update W10 microscopically slowed down in favor of W11. I encountered the same degradation phenomenon in W7 and older.SpoilerI hardly ever advise updating the bios (I only advise it if some XMP profile doesn't work properly, or doesn't read some drive/cooling, etc.), because if something goes wrong, a user who doesn't know his PC well may not be able to handle it and will have to spend money on a repair at a service center.GL

I didn't say "outdated version of Windows". I suggested an update may have gone awry, which is what you also suggested.
I have personally experienced a bad Windows update causing issues with the game... same with memory mismatch in BIOS. Hence, my suggestions.
