[PC] BF crashing instantly at first loading screen

Hi, I have problem with battlefield 2042, I was playing in BF 6 open beta, then I though I'm gonna try BF 2042, unfortunately I can't make it work.

It crashing almost instantly at first loading screen.

CrashDump file in attachment

My PC spec:

CPU - i7-14700HX

RAM - 32 GB 

GPU - RTX 4070M - drivers 580.97

Windows 11 x64 - fresh, I have format in this month

Wtah I was trying to do to fix this:

  1. check the integrity of the game files in STEAM - twice
  2. launching game trough EA app, not STEAM
  3. Deleting windows defender completely, using windows-defender-remover (from github)
  4. Looking new bios for my laptop - already have lastest
  5. Then I installed WinDbg to check what is inside dump files - and it is sth related to nvidia drivers
  6. I uninstalled nvidia drivers with DDU and try to run game on my intel HD integrated card, game boot successfully, but fps was extremely low
  7. After that I installed lastest drivers 580.97 (previously they were 580.88) - and I installed it with NVCleanstall - without all unnecessary things - but game still crashing
  • Hey everyone I think I found a solution. At least it works for me. Install your graphics driver version 577.00.

     Do You checked the CrashDump files? Same problem with INVALID_POINTER_READ_AVRF_c0000005_nvwgf2umx.dll ?

    This game has never worked for me, or more precisely, today I tried to install/run it for the first time.

    repairing game and deleting setting file doesn't help
