Summarize your bug BF 2042 will NOT work while Nvidia Geforce Experience is running. It will crash every single time I launch the game while it's running. I have to close down the program (GFE) from the Task Manager in order to play the game with no crash issue.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I do not know if it is re-creatable. All PC systems are different.
What happens when the bug occurs? The game crashes to desktop with no error message or code.
What should be happening instead? The game should work? I do not have this issue with ANY other game I play.

I shut down all of the processes in task manager that are part of GFE. It's the only way I can play BF 2042.

  • Disregard. It appears that the issue is still present for BF2042, according to Nvidia.

    Typically, if a filter is going to crash a game, it does it in the first minute at most. There could be there's another issue present. You could try using image sharpening instead a filter from the nvidia control panel. That's what I was using until I was able to get the filter to work. You'd select the program to customize, click image scaling, tick the GPU scaling to on and pick your preferred sharpeness. I was using 40%.

    The joys of PC gaming.. ugh
