Re: DirectX Crash when opening Loadouts tab (consistent 100%)

Hi,

I’m experiencing consistent crashes when launching the Battlefield 6 beta. The game freezes during the shader compilation screen (right at the beginning), and shortly after, it crashes to desktop or forces a PC restart. Here’s a breakdown of my setup and the issue:

🔧 My system:

• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 (Driver version: [insert current version, e.g., 556.12])
• CPU: Intel Core i9-14900KF
• RAM: [insert e.g. 32GB DDR5 @ 6000MHz]
• Motherboard: [insert brand/model]
• OS: Windows 11 Pro (22H2, fully updated)
• DirectX Version: 12 (default for the game)
• Monitor: [e.g. 1440p 165Hz, G-Sync ON]

🛑 The problem:

• The game crashes while “Compiling Shaders…”
• Sometimes I get a DirectX error message box.
• Other times the entire PC freezes and restarts.
• Changing settings (windowed/fullscreen, lowering graphics) didn’t help.
• Running the game with -dx11 allows me to get into the menu – but performance and visuals are worse, and this is clearly just a workaround.

📋 Error (example):

DirectX function “GetDeviceRemovedReason()” failed with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

GPU: “NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080”

Driver: [insert driver version]

This error is usually caused by the graphics driver crashing; try updating your drivers or checking for overheating.
