[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.

    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

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

    hate to say I have the same issue wont load past splash screen.. starts loading for a few seconds and then window closes back to EA App... is the problem with the EA app? would it work if i downloaded through steam and try to run the game?

    Same issue here. Fresh install on this machine in the last month as well.

    Game gets to the splash screen and freezes after a moment. Then closes a few seconds later.

    So far I've tried every fix out there and no luck.
