BF6 on Steam – Runs Fine Until It Randomly Crashes to Desktop

Hello All,

Game keeps crashing to desktop for no apparent reason - yesterday it did run pretty well considering this is beta, got solid 10+ hours of gameplay.

But today is absolutely disastrous, crash after crash.

This propagates as screen stuck, followed with either still GPU rendering things on screen and then crash to desktop.

In "Breaktrough":

• Crash usually within 1st sector
• Max 2 sectors and crash

In "Conquest":

• Crash after 1 round
• Max 2 rounds and crash

 

Steps taken so far:

• Reinstall GPU drivers - utilizing DDU
• Clearing GPU cache
• Clearing all user settings from /Documents/BF6
• Updating Windows

 

Basic system specs details:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3700X - no OC

RAM: 32GB @ 3200MHz

GPU: EVGA RTX 2070 Super 8GB - no OC

SSD: 970 EVO Plus - over 47% space free

OS: Windows 11 Pro (64bit)

Platform: Steam
