Re: Battlefield 2042 Unplayable after Update 3.3 released on Tuesday, March 8

@dijikul, thanks for the file & awesome to hear that you went ahead to see if you could fix it yourself. Glad to hear as well that it eventually turned out to be Windows Update. Were there some additional updates by any chance? The ones that you have to 'manually install' via the PC settings menu?

    Automatic Updates are not set to auto apply.  More trouble than their worth, sometimes.  It included .NET Framework cumulative updates along with some other Windows stuff that I didn't pay attention to.

    Unrealted, the new Scoreboard looks ok, but when are they going to bring back the Commander Mode from BF2?  There's enough bots on each server to provide an RTS-like experience and actual strat.  Right now, this game's good, but it's trying to be something Battlefield never was, in the face of CoD.

    @dijikul, ah alright, thanks for explaining your Windows Updates situation.
    Thanks for the feedback regarding the game as well! 🙂
  • It's been unplayable for me as well. I don't even get an error code, it just crashes pc almost instantly. No issues prior to this update. 

    I'm using ryzen 5600x and Nvidia 3080. 

  • Here you go. I started a couple tickets on EA yesterday, they couldn't figure it out. All other games work and my PC is well above the specs requires. No issues with game before this update. I have reinstalled windows and drivers, even rolled some drivers back with no luck. The game resets my PC almost immediately now. Prior to this I could play a couple minutes before the crash.

    @-G-XMillertimeX, alright. Before I take a look at the DxDiag, is it possible that you have overclocked your CPU and/pr GPU by any chance?
  • no I have not. I have also run several gpu and cpu stress tests with great results and no overheating etc.

  • So I just got the game to work by limiting GPU power to 65%... Any higher and it crashes. Why is this happening? Again  it only happend with this game after update 3.3.

    Update, it crashed after 10 mins.

  • SOLVED!!! 

    I flashed my asus 570 bios to a newer version after looking up some power and cpu errors in event viewer and finding some forums on this issue with amd 5600x. PC software said bios was up to date but it wasn't. The game now works!

    It's odd that it only happened with this game after update when everything else worked.
