Re: BF 2042 pc crashing no error

Already had my overclock turned off. Only thing that was somewhat a overclock is SAM memory.

I updated all my amd and windows and I was able to play for 3 hours til it crashed.

I see people talking about switching xmp speeds but I already had to do that because my ram was not able to reach the advertised speed.

turned Game Mode on in windows and knock on wood i didnt have a crash the rest of the night.

will test more later today.

Still happens this time the game will freeze and if I alt tab to the desktop it will not crash.

Same crap happens to me too since release. Never had similar problems in other games, except for NfS Unbound. Doesn't matter the game (GR Breakpoint, Cyberpunk, AC Valhalla, new Jedi Survivor, WoW, Dead Island2) and how high i put the video settings, none of these games crash. For me it seems to be a problem with the Frostbite Engine (BF and NfS use it  booth, I think while all other games I mentioned don't).

Have tried so many different ways to avoid the crashes like BIOS flash, downclocking, undervolting, and pretty much any hint the i-net can offer. Nothing worked and it still sporadicly crashes ot the point, I have to switch off the PC to start all over again.

I even lowered the graphics down to nearly minimum, while I play all other games mentioned above (except Jedi Survivor which only runs smooth on high) on max. settings without ray tracing on a Radeon RX 6800 XT.

It just sucks... Hope you'll find a way to fix it, I gave up quite some time. 

Hey folks, could you please DM me a winrar file of any potential files that may have been generated as a post-crash event under the following folder path: \Documents\Battlefield 2042\CrashDumps

Well here is what has helped me.

I lowered my cpu clock down 100 mhz  from 3.7 to 3.6

I also lowered my Ram from 3900 to 3600.

Turned Game mode on in windows(not sure if that did anything or not)

I also deleted the DX12 line from PROFSAVE_profile

So far no crashing.

BUT I do still get freezing usually when I am in a menu either changing operator or weapons.

If I alt tab out and in the game goes back to normal just slightly annoying.

Hope this can help others but seems like everyone has different ways of surpressing the issue not solving it.

Hello.

Always crhashing on 128players servers, without an error. Just crash in desktop.

-.-
How can I send you the rar file?

Tried to upload a Zipped folder and it said "nah"- "Unsupported extension type". It won't let me upload the MDMP file either.

@BattlefieldDICEr  I included all crash dump files from June 2023 to present. Got plenty in there from today.... Turns out the file size is too large if I try to include all of them from this year prior to June. Hope this helps.

@BattlefieldDICErhave same problem. tried anything to solve the problem. any solutions? unable to play in 64 and 128 player. never had this problem before. must be since beginning of july 2023.

Attaching more Crash Dump files from today.

@MassiveFnChungus 

Try these steps:

- set virtual memory (page file) size to system automatic, restart PC;

- add to ur ESET antivirus exceptions an EA app dir and BF2042 dir;

- disable led software "LGHUB (legacy led)".

@MassiveFnChungus 

From MS help:

The paging file is an area on your hard disk that Windows uses like memory. There's a setting in Windows 10 that manages the page file size automatically, which can help improve your PC’s performance.

To make sure automatic page file management is turned on

In the search box on the taskbar, type advanced system, and then select View advanced system settings, which has Control panel listed underneath it.

In System Properties, select the Advanced tab, then select Settings in the Performance area.

In Performance Options, select the Advanced tab, then select Change in the Virtual memory area.

Make sure the Automatically manage paging file size for all drives check box is selected. If it is, continue to the next tip. If it's not, select it and then restart your PC by selecting the Start button > Power > Restart.

Having random crashes since the latest update, i already troubleshooted and could only find the game to be at fault, the game randomly freezes with me still being able to move my camera in first person but the entire server completely freezes and after a few seconds it just crashes with no error.

I started getting this after directly getting kicked out to the desktop

Guys I have news, today I have a driver update + a Battlefield 2042 update. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think EA gave me an update to fix the problem. I think it's because I reported several bugs.

Try to reinstall all Visual С++ components in this way:

a) delete all content of this folders (ignore, skip any problems/errors): "C:\Windows\Temp" and "C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Temp";
b) before installing this, delete all already installed versions in order from old (2005) to new;

c) all installers run as Admin;

d) if you have x64 OS, you'd install x32 (x86) and x64 packages of all versions:
VC2005 v8.0.61001 (хххххх80.dll), VC2008 v9.0.30729.6161 (хххххх90.dll), VC2010 v10.0.40219.325 (ххххх100.dll), VC2012 v11.0.61030 (ххххх110.dll), VC2013 v12.0.40664.0 (ххххх120.dll), 2015-2022 14.36.32532.0: x86, x64 (ххххх140.dll);

e) If u not on Win10, install Universal C Runtime;

f) restart the PC.

In case of some problems during Visual С++ uninstallation/installation process:

Try to run the game without RTSS.

Crashing non stop with the directx12 run out of gpu memory again , game has become truly unplayable now for me even after fixing it client side by myself with removing future frame rendering and etc.

Great job EA !
