Re: Battlefield 2042 Xbox Crashing or Shutting Down console

Well I just looked back and mine was bought on 01st November 2021

i also bought it direct from Microsoft store 

Hope the others that was here will read and confirm when they bought theirs 

Replying to the theory that some xbox series x's had manufacturing issues: Bought mine on launch direct from Microsoft. Rarely had BF 2042 crash until this fall (been playing since launch) I was able to rank up to S27 in fact but around November I started crashing on nearly every game and now can't make it more then a few minutes into a game before it boots me to Home Screen. I've had zero issues with series x, no other games crash.

Super bummed, no one seems to have an answer.

Guessing series X users are just SOL at this point. If you find yourself reading this thread, I like others have tried it all:

xbox factory setting reset

power mode change (standby to eco)

DNS/NAT type update

Uninstall/Install game (did this 5 times)

Delete persistant storage

Power cycle w/ unplug for 10 minutes

Modifying video output (4k vs. 1440p etc.)

Clearing alternate MAC address

Removed all quick resume apps/games

Delete saved files 

I was able to play this game consistently from launch until November 2023 before crashes started every single game.

Maybe it'll get fixed one day.

Have had the same issue here since the summer. Tried everything including installing on the Seagate expansion card. Only way for me to play the game is via Xcloud streaming. I don't have this issue with any other game.

Don’t you read the comments? I’m sorry but it’s your Xbox 

I'm sorry but even if it is, 99% of the games running on the console don't make the console crash. If there's something linked to bad hardware then they should address it and fix it with an update acting as a workaround. The answer shouldn't be "just buy another xbox". But I'm guessing the playerbase encountering this problem is too small so that will never be fixed.

It’s the Xbox mate that’s why nothing is happening and will never be fixed go back read my comments reason why I discovered it was my Xbox. Microsoft released bad batches and they are not admitting it as don’t want to be embarrassed 

I too have been affected by this problem for a year now and only on BF 2042. Yesterday I had 5 shutdowns per hour of play. The problem is definitely on the side of xbox and its quality control of games and the reported problems from players that they ingorge. Yesterday after the release of season 7 even those who didn't have problems before are now getting crushed on xsx. Collecting all the information we can say that the problem is with EA games based on the Frosbite proprietary engine. As we know, many of the specialists who knew this engine are no longer working for EA and have been replaced by the people who created the worst BF ever, 2042 - a game full of problems since its premiere. I bought the gold version at launch for about $100 and it is the worst money spent in my life. I understand I now have to buy a new xbox because EA can't fix it?

Yes you do, you could save money and trade in your old one 

will only replace my xsx if games other than those based on Frosbite cause problems. I play mainly Apex and zero problems but that game is not made by amateurs from new Dice and therefore works perfect. I have played BF since Bad company and I am a fan of the series but until BF5. 2042 only evokes negative emotions in me and I am not alone. BTW no one confirms the flawed xbox series for that the current state of dice everyone knows.

Ok don’t get an new Xbox you carry on thinking it’s the game when it isn’t I’m enjoying playing battlefield again 

https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield2042/comments/1bilozm/battlefield_2042_season_7_crashing/

These are the comments on rededit after the season 7 premiere yesterday. Go tell them to replace their consoles because it's a hardware problem. I get the impression from your comments that you either work for EA or don't understand something.

Hey dude it has nothing to do with your "conspiracy theorys" xbox didn't release bad batches and the fact you think you can come to a game forum to spread a bunch of false info without getting flagged is concerning.... go check reddit as well before giving a bunch of false info, all of us can play the game fine and every other game fine, it's literaly only the new map causing the crashes, I can play conquest and everything else as Iong as it's not the new map, they released the map with issues and have already admitted it on twitter... but keep blaming xbox because you seem to not be able to take care of your console

Well you and your Reddit nerds don’t have the same issue than what this forum post is about so you should shut up and sit down! As the issues we are having/had didn’t matter what map you was on it would crash every time so before you go around spreading miss I formation maybe get your facts right! 

just funny how I own 3 Xboxes works fine on 2 but the oldest one out the 3 it’s an issue!

now go back to Reddit with the nerds that down vote anyone that don’t agree with your opinion

i will bet you any money you get a new Xbox the issue will go away!

Also what new map? When was it released? Have you seen how old these forum posts are? Wow you Reddit nerds are cluless 

EDIT

you do know this issue (not your issue) was posted in November 2022?

so you think it’s still the new map that was released 30th Jan 2024?

I don't have a reddit account goofball and I just created a forum account so I can see if more people talking bout it... and no crap people will check reddit if the games bricking console.. PS I only read the first sentence you typed due to fact that you don't know what your talking about... OK now I read it, this post was probably from people who couldn't afford a series X and use a one X, It is a fact that the new map is crashing the series X your last statement is completely irrelevant and you sound mad 

Now you’re making things up because you are so much of a child you don’t want to admit you’re wrong like a grown man!

how about start your own forum post with the issue you’re having with the new map as this forum isn’t the same issue! 

you will only get this posts locked as you’re off topic!

Some advice don’t goto Reddit for advice the place is like a cult and you speak against there opinions you will get down voted till you can not post! 

so to recap, your issue isn’t the same as he issue in this forum! so please start your own post.

P.S the OP clearly states he has the Xbox series x like every one else, you struggle to read it seems.

i will no longer reply to your idiotic claims 

Why don't you go play the Sims? LOL.. you younger dudes are different fr

I have to agree with you here. This issue has plagued my series x for nearly two years. With only EA games. Tried absolutely everything with both Microsoft and ea. in the end Microsoft offered a replacement console even thought it was ages out of warranty. I didn’t take it. Got a new one and since then, not had any issues. I bought my console fairly quickly after they first came out and I’ve read that other people bought theirs at a similar time

I'm having the same issues. What makes you think it's an Xbox issue I'm just curious

Because my son owns 3 Xboxes! so this is what happened.

buys a series x for my son Christmas present not long after the released.

every game worked fine. Until he wanted to play battlefield!

roll on the following Christmas, he get a second Xbox series x from his mum (we are separated so now he has Xbox at both our houses) he tries battlefield on new Xbox has zero problems!

so I go out and buy him another for at my house and guess what? It works perfectly.

so I think anyone that has early(ish) batches of Xbox series x will have this problem. 

funny thing is it wasn’t just battlefield that had the problem on the faulty Xbox also WWE2K did it! But also fine on his other 2
