Re: Battlefield 2042 Not Launching Greeted with an "Out Of Memory" Error

@Rokebo73 Thank You for the reply! I have included my dxdiag. I have tried doing a clean install on my graphics driver I checked to make sure all of my files are verified through Steam I checked for updates on DirectX and Microsoft VC. I am open to suggestions if you have any ideas 🙂

@K1LJ0YX  Hey man, there are some issues with driver 531.18
Ya could try a older version of nvidia driver.
First pre download older version nvidia driver.
Disconnect from internet
Uninstall current nvidia driver by using in windows settings / apps
Now (clean) install older version nvidia driver.

Reboot system, connect internet and test game

Could you also do this please:

Press Windows key + 'R' ,typ CMD
Press and hold down CTRL + SHIFT and press ENTER.
When User Account Control shows up, click Yes.
Now enter this command:

wmic /output:C:\mb_mem_bios_info.txt memorychip list full&wmic /append:C:\mb_mem_bios_info.txt baseboard get product, Manufacturer&wmic /append:C:\mb_mem_bios_info.txt bios get smbiosbiosversion

At youre C: drive there is now a file called mb_mem_bios_info.txt post this file please !!!
Thanks.

Ps the bolded line is just 1 command, copy and past all !!!
What brand/typ motherboard do you got ?

@Rokebo73 My motherboard is the MSI MEG Z790 ACE and it is currently running the latest firmware. I am actually currently running the hotfix driver 531.26. I have tried some older drivers with no improvement in outcome. I used a software called "Display Driver Uninstaller" to insure a clean install and the thing is if I go too old like to December Battlefield will tell me unable to boot driver out of date. Is there a particular version you would recommend?

@K1LJ0YX   Hey man.
I do see you got a few times a BSOD !
Did ya OC CPU and memory ?
Its possbile youre windows is broken or youre system configuration got an issue.
Please do a cmos reset:

Is this the memory ya got installed in youre system ? Is it the exact same partnumber (bolded line)
G.SKILL F5-6000J3040G32GX2-RS5K DDR5 4800 6000 SK hynix M
Are ya able to select memory oc profiles in bios , without issues ?

If a cmos reset didnt help, ya could try to update youre hardware drivers, read this:

SYSTEM DRIVERS AND CHIPSET UPDATE

Check the Youtube movie how to install , download and update ALL drivers.
https://youtu.be/6UpzenfVOAA
Open the web browser and enter url: https:\\www.drivereasy.com
Click at Driver Update Tool in the upper bar and select Download Free Version.
Click at the green button with the text DOWNLOAD DRIVER EASY NOW.

continue using Driver Easy untill 'ALL' drivers are updated.
This free version allows only 1 download and 1 update at once

Do this little guide

!: Do a cmos reset, after reset go into bios and load optimized defaults (do not change any bios settings yet, so no oc ect ect ect)

2: Boot Windows and use DriverEasy to update all system drivers (do not update GPU driver)

3: if ya still got issues after step 1 and 2, then its possible youre windows is broken somehow.
Repair/Install Windows, by installing Media Creation Tool, open tool and choose to Upgrade Now. This reinstalls Windows while keeping files, programs and most settings in place, is the most stable method to advance to the latest version, and solves most problems. Tutorial here: https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/fix-windows-10-repair-install
Do not keep files/programs/documents ect ect , do a fresh clean windows install (quick format youre C: drive !!)

Make a backup from youre files ya want to keep before ya format , keep it at a other drive !!
4: Only install the gameplatform you did buy BF2042 at !!!

Update us please !
Cheers

So I finally got around to going down your guide. I tried to clear the CMOS first, unfortunately, it did not seem to do anything for me so then I went on to do the clean windows install. After that, I installed my drivers and downloaded steam, and launched Battlefield 2042 it did let me in but as soon as I tried to get into a match it froze and crashed, and then any further attempts to launch led to the previous error message "Out Of Memory" I am very confused as to what this could be. I just wanted to say I have appreciated your help up to this point I have tried contacting Nvidia, EA Support, and even Steam Discussions and you have put in more time helping me than anyone else. I am hoping you might have some idea of what I might try next but if not that's totally fine. So the Ram in my system is "G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB Series (Intel XMP) 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin SDRAM DDR5 6000 CL30-40-40-96 1.40V Dual Channel Desktop Memory F5-6000J3040G32GA2-TZ5RK" I will include some files with my system info I hope this might help.

Deactivating "ReBAR" in BIOS could help with this problem... (it helped me)

you should also check if your cpu is stable, i also have the 13900k and its a *... try for example downloading prime95 and run it with the max heat option... it should NOT crash!

Hope this helps

@K1LJ0YX  Question ?
You did post this partnumber in to youre last post:
Memory F5-6000J3040G32GA2-TZ5RK
I do not see that partnumber being supported for the current CPU ya use !

It seems this memory is NOT SUPPORTED !

if im correct , then this is youre motherboard:
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MEG-Z790-ACE/support#mem

Select the button MEMORY BY 13th GEN K SERIES
Then sort by VENDOR , and go to page 12 and page 13 , that is Gskill memory supported by youre CPU.
I think youre memory is causing issues with youre CPU and Motherboard !!!
If this mem is NEW , then return it and get compatible memory for youre cpu !!

Update us please !!

Cheers

Just wanted to quote this. Resizable BAR, or ReBar for short, can indeed sometimes cause issues.

Gigabyte has shared a good article about what ReBar is: https://www.gigabyte.com/WebPage/785/NVIDIA_resizable_bar.html.

I tried this and now the battlefield wont even boot up where it at least got to the lobby before. Now it just crashes on load

Use HWINFO64, enable SENSORS ONLY , and check for temps and Mhz thats being displayed for all youre core/threads please ! (during Bf2042 in game)

Update us !

PS some system info would be nice, Thanks

Hello. Did you get a fix? I'm in the exact same position

Hello!

I've been struggling with that issue and I've tried a lot of recommendations but this is what solved it on my computer (CPU 13900k, MB MSI PRO Z790-A WIFI, Video card MSI GeForce RTX 4080 Suprim X and RAM G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB DIMM Kit 64GB, DDR5-6000):

Underclock the CPU slightly.

I used Intel Extreme Tuning Utility for the ease of use. You'll find a brief explanation in those two pictures that I attached.

I hope it works for you. I recommend to work your way up by adding more clock once you've found a working clock speed for Battlefield 2042.

This has been the one thing that has worked for my issue that started last week.  i9-14900k, 32gb ram, 3080 FTW, I would get blue screens or directx out of memory errors.  Reloaded everything, using Intel Extreme Tuning Utility was the only thing that made things work, I knocked the performance core ratio down to 56x vs 57x and everything has been great.

I have the exact same issue with similar specs. 

14900KF 3.2

4090 

I have also:

Updated BIOS

All drivers

All Windows 11 updates 

No overclocks

Still am having this bug.  I think its a Battlefield 2042 issue, not a hardware issue. BF2042 use to work great.
