Game not loading
I am trying to play Battlefield 2042. I have tried several things and at this point believe the issue down to the nvidia driver but not 100% sure. Let me explain some. Asus G751jm. Intel i7 4710HQ ...

It happens to me very long time ago when everyone was playing Battlefield 3. When I launch the game only what I could see was black screen or first splash screen. I know why you experiencing same issue as I many years ago, also after I check your setup I just confirmed myself for being right so...
Minimum PC requirements for Battlefield 2042 is:
- Processor: Core i5 6600K
- Memory: 8GB
- Video Memory: 4GB
- Graphics card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
- DirectX: 12
Let's compere it to yours setups guys 🙂
You BF42
- Processor: i7 4710HQ vs i5 6600K - Your CPU have 4 more threads then i5 but... that is not changing much. Your processorwirks on 2.5 GHz frequency while i5 is 1GHz faster. i5 have slightly higher memory latency (around +8%), 29% faster single-core speed, 35% faster dual-core speed and much faster quad-core speed (+47%). That's mean your CPU is a bit weak to run BF42 (All Battlefileds are more CPU game then GPU)
- Memory: 12GB vs 8GB - You have enough memory, but as I notice Battlefiled need faster RAM. I had to overclock my ram from 2133MHz to 3200MHz to play without fps drop.
- VRam: 4GB vs 4GB - You have just enough vram but...
- GPU : 860m vs 1050 Ti - Your graphic card is just too weak and slow to handle BF42 in any reasonable amount of fps. 1050 Ti is 90% faster then your 860m, that's the reason why game gets stuck, It's not even able to handle menu graphics and models, it's trying hard but it 'faints' and pulls whole system and other parts with himself. I'm sorry.
- DirectX: 12 vs 12 - Nothing to say here
Pretty much same story as @TwistedSkull666, But you are even in worst position. Why?
You have 8GB RAM while BF42 needs 8GB, but what with other softwares and operating system? They also need some space in RAM 🤐
You PC isn't that bad, at least you can run the game so what I can suggest is to visit my >TUTORIAL< and try to make your game to run batter (or wait until EA fix optymalization)
You BF42
- Processor: i7 6700 vs i5 6600K - Your CPU is just fine, I'm also using same processor as you but with 'K' (i7-6700K)That's mean I can overclock it.
- Memory: 16GB vs 8GB - Same as me again but how much MHz they have? I had to overclock my ram from 2133MHz to 3200MHz to play without fps drop.
- VRam: 4GB vs 4GB - You have just enough vram so your GPU have do replace some objects for other objects what may cause higher usage and fps drops, but...
- GPU : 980 vs 1050 Ti - Your graphic card is much better then 1050Ti, 94% speed difference so the GPU is not a problem here but you have to play on low, maybe medium settings.
- DirectX: 12 vs 12 - Nothing to say here
@karlothebeast @TwistedSkull666
I'm sorry to say that but the laptops you have, won't handle BF42. It's time to buy new laptop or pc ☹️
- @plfrost22 I appreciate what you THINK you know, BUT THIS BUG HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE REQUIREMENTS!!!!!
2nd, the CPU is more then adequate to handle it.
I do agree the GPU is semi-weak, but when comparing benchmarks, the 860m and the 1050 is not much different.
RAM, you just assume the speed of my RAM. How do you know if I dont have better RAM?
Sorry to say, you dont know what your talking about@TwistedSkull666First of all show me where I write that your ram is weak or not fast enough? I just said bf need faster RAM, I didn't said faster then yours or faster then XXXXMHz. And yes, I know what I'm talking about, Battlefield is a CPU based game so even if you gonna run bf42 somehow with this graphic card you gonna get max 20-25fps if they gonna fix optymalization, and it is enough difference between cards to don't run bf .I'm not gonna repeat or copy and paste what I just write above. I don't know what you think when you read "minimum' but your your setup is under minimum, so if you really think you can play bf with stable 25fps (at least) then prove it, and send me video.
Good luckthank you for your response, Ive seen there is a big ram leak in BF2042 maybe that is the issues people are running into, as for requirements these laptops are more then capable of playing games, i understand the requirments are higher now and are laptops are 7 years old, maybe time for upgrade, bf4 and other games run flawless, i think they rushed these game out on new tech and didnt build it stable and ready for older tech ,
