Re: Blue Screen of Death after closing BF2042 *FIX HAS BEEN FOUND*

Why is the anti cheat having issues with these files? Now we just need EA to whitelist them or figure out why there anti cheat is crashing when closing. The answer can not be to delete these files as they are how windows interacts with the hardware like the motherboard.

AsIO2.sys is a system file associated with the ASUSTeK Computer Inc. hardware, specifically with the ASUS motherboard. It is part of the ASUS system control interface V2 driver, which is a component of the ASUS system utility software. This file is typically located in the 'C:\Windows\System32\drivers' directory.

The associated software is primarily used for providing an interface between the ASUS hardware (like the motherboard) and the operating system. It helps in managing and controlling the hardware resources, and also assists in the communication between the system's software and hardware. This can include tasks like system monitoring, overclocking, access to BIOS settings, fan control, and more.

AsIO2.sys is needed for the proper functioning of ASUS hardware and software. If you're using an ASUS system, it's recommended to keep this file for the system to work correctly. 

I have AsIO2.sys, AsIO3.sys and AsIO.sys

    @IkonnGiano I made the mistake to delete the AsIO.sys files. Not only did it not fix my game, but Armoury Crate no longer detects my motherboard. Is there any way I can download the files again? My motherboard is Crosshair VIII Hero x570. I tried to get the files from a friend with an asus x570 strix-e and it caused issues. So the files are specific for each motherboard or even configuration.

    No, unfortunately not. I only got armoury crate to install the files once I reset my PC. Although, I have a suspicion that you can do it without resetting the PC if you :

    1) Disable "install armoury crate" in the bios

    2) uninstall armoury crate if it's installed

    3) re-enable the armoury crate installation from the bios and pray that you get a pop-up to install it. 

    When I tried to download it from the MB's download page it didn't get the AsIO.sys files. 

    In the end at least I got everything working again but I wasted my entire day doing this lol.

    @WorlTrance On a different note, After I finished setting everything up after my PC reset, battlefield 2042 refuses to open properly lol. It opens, I go through the "connecting to EA servers" then a black screen with the blue loading thing going, and the game just closes. No error messages. I tried everything from vc++ to directx to ddu. I'm just re-installing the game rn and hoping it'll work.

    @xThief16 I was playing BF2024 some months ago, before Season 6 got released. I had that stuck at black screen issue before, but it was very rare. Since Season 6 i get it almost every time plus the BSOD. It just came into my mind that i also got a tool called AI Suite 3 by Asus, which controls the fans and the other performance and power options as in the BIOS. It might be possible it's installing the AsIO.sys as well...

    @WorlTrance Oh I forgot to mention that. Yes, you are correct, It is in fact probably AI Suite 3 causing the issues. It's not the first time it's caused me issues. I recently got rid of it (but AsIO.sys stayed as a file) because I found an AWESOME alternative called "Fan Control". Free, open source, it's honestly perfect.

    I haven't had issues with AI Suite before. As mentioned, EA Anti Cheat seems to have a problem with it now -_-
