Still having "3 files failed to validate" crash

Having this issue in bf2042 and I had it in the BF6 beta. Ive tried every single option I have seen nothing works. About 2-3 games in the game crashes, either closing program or hard crashing restarting the computer. I play through steam. After validating files it says "3 files failed to validate". It happens every single time. Im so excited about BF6 but i Dont think I am going to buy because I dont want to crash and have to validate files over and over. Ive checked so many forums and files and no one seems to have a working answer.

    Hi PaulMuadDab​
    To answer your question, no, I am not an EA member, but a player like you who tries to help players in difficulty. Here are the steps I will ask you to take : play the game, wait for it to crash, then go to the Windows logs (event) and send me the error, then send me a DxDiag.

    To open it just tap "event" in the Windows search bar and open it. Go in "Windows logs" > "Application". If you see an error, send me a screenshot of it. 

     

    And a DxDiag  :

    Press the Windows and R keys at the same time.
    Type DxDiag in the window that appears, then click Save all information and save the file wherever you want.
    Then drag and drop the file here, then click Share - add the .txt file as an attachment.

    Let me know 😃

    This is not the error im having, its not that the game fails to launch its that both games crash 20 minutes into playing them and 3 files are apparently corrupted.
