    @Rokebo73 So heres the news, it took a bit of fooling around and im hating my self for how "simple" the solution was considering how much ive been through :P ..

    So i got it working - heres the highlights of the journey.

    after going mental over my issue i started to wonder, what if a tiny thing as my xbox 360 controller being connected could somehow interfere with this one game.. i mean it is BF after all and clearly in regards to running it really is the special kid on the block as no other game ive been running on the pc has complained like that.

    Anyways i unplugged the controller and suddenly the error went away, All good - nope hit in the face with a new error message:
    see first post here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Directx-Error-StorePipeline-HashStrDx12-key-pipelineState/m-p/10954159/highlight/true#M1733 ...

    but here was a solution only thing was i couldnt get the data to work, as it was said i should update the MachineGUID registry entry on my pc to a given value but i couldnt not get that value to match my current reg value it was when i came across this post: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Directx-Error-StorePipeline-HashStrDx12-key-pipelineState/m-p/10974911/highlight/true#M5615 where he added screenshots and i noticed that hes MachineGUID was a string not a binary like mine, so i deleted my original key and added a new string and booted. and then BF launched just as it should. FINALLY im shoooting stuff again ! thanks for all ytour help tho mate ! :D ..

I got the same problem you have,
Same gpu
5600x cpu

I changed the MachienGUID to the same string as you, the game now opens but it does not go past a black screen
I attached a screenshot of what my screen gets stuck on

any help?
