Re: BF6 Beta PC Client Not Launching - Silent Crash After Startup

Hi I figured out the solution to this after having it myself, the crash is caused by EA Anticheat. I posted the fix elsewhere but it seems to have been burried.

What you need to do is go to https://help.ea.com/en/articles/platforms/pc-ea-anticheat/

Download the EA Anticheat Installer

Right click, run it as administrator

**DO NOT SELECT ANY GAME FROM THE DROP DOWN MENU**

Simply click the UNINSTALL ALL button

Let it run then close it.

Run the game from your chosen launcher (EA or Steam)

It will now trigger a script to do a fresh install of javelin & with updated files & should solve the problem.

go to windows security, click device security, under Security Processor, click security processor details.
if it says "Attestation: Not ready, Storage: Ready" then your processor might not be able to meet EAAC's security standards.

But, you have a Ryzen 7, so I assume if it says "attestation not ready" then you might be able to troubleshoot/fix it in bios or by clearing your TPM. 

attestation is just the anti cheat checking your processor to make sure you haven't tampered with hardware/firmware and that your boot is truly secure.

 I spent like 6 hours also doing all those fixes you mentioned just to figure this out, my processor is literally just not compatable with javelin anticheat :/

Hi, when the game crashes, do you see any errors in the Event Viewer under the Application logs? Also, have you tried installing an older GPU driver to see if that helps?

I saw your solution previously and checked I see attestation ready

My game opens and then crashes without any warning, right before it starts. It worked the first weekend. Now, I haven't been able to play it since this morning. It doesn't say anything, just comes and goes right away.

Hey, I have tried to two most recent Nvidia drivers, as the game made me updated to latest when I first tried to launch before first weekend.

In Event Viewer - I have not recieved an error or critical log for the last 10 or so attempts, but earlier today I got

Hey thank you I will try again, but have already done this and deleted old anticheat as well.

Hey if you manage to find a solution please post it here. I've also tried literally everything but nothing seems to be working. I even played like 10 hours in the first beta weekend from the 7th till 10th but this time around the game will just not launch. I don't know what even is causing this. I have tried everything but nothing is working.

I'm having this same issue since Open Beta release. Have tried all fixes noted above. Please EA, fix this.

You've done a lot of top notch trouble shooting but have you verified your OS files with system file checker (I understand that you reinstalled the OS)? If not run windows update and if it updates restart the PC. After reboot launch a command prompt as an administrator and type "sfc /scannow" (without the quotes) and let it check the OS. If it comes back with errors I'd also then run in the same command prompt window "Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" (without the quotes). These generally clear up a lot of issues for me.

If you are running the game with an Nvidia Graphic Card, go to the Nvidia Settings Hub and Disable Smooth Motion (Fluid Motion) for BF6, that should fix the problem. 😊

Edit: In case this helps anyone else, please let me know.

No wayyy man you're goated. I am actually so pissed, been troubleshooting since the last two days and hours of scouring the net later this random fix is what did it for me. Just to be clear this is what fixed the issue for me:

For RTX 4000 series users like me if you're running the latest driver, go to Nvidia App -> Graphics -> Global Settings -> Smooth Motion -> turn it off.

I am not sure if this option exists for older gen but I do know that it should be there for 4000 series user only if you're running recent drivers (the latest one or the one before that) and for 5000 series users the option should be there regardless of driver version. I am not sure but I think it's a setting that applies frame generation to games that don't support it. Anyways, I disabled it and the game launches perfectly.

It's worth checking if you're using an Nvidia card.

Also, thanks again to Afri_92 for the solution.

My **bleep** pc crashed the hole day when starting bf6, i took gpu and ram out and placed it back (ofc) and somehow that fixed it.

I've been having the same issue and I've noticed that it keeps saying that I'm missing 3 things from my files when I do an integrity check on steam, and it keeps restoring them and then they also keep disappearing. I dont understand it and I also dont know which files are somehow disappearing

same thing happening to me

tried this and did not work for me. As soon as I get past the splash screen, I see the black window pop up for a few seconds. Hope is still lost

There is a fix I think that was posted somewhere else. I have tried it and I have now played like 5 rounds without crashing so perhaps you should try it out.

Search in windows for Exploit Protection

Add program bf6event.exe

Mandatory ASLR

Click Override system settings

OFF

restart BF6

this is one of the simple fix's suggested and tried on week one. No luck still.

I had this same issue where it failed to validate 3 files and downloaded like 32mbs worth each time, then when I started the game it'd crash and then fail to validate those 3 files once again. From what I'm seeing I think the cause for this error isn't the same for everyone. For me turning off smooth motion in Nvidia app fixed it. Maybe, you can try doing that if not there might be something else that's causing it.

To bad, 

Also, I always validate my BF6 files before I launch. (That was an issue for me at first beta week) But for me this solved my problems. However just validating files second week didn't work for me. Seems there are several different issues 

I am on a Ryzen 5700X3D / RX 7800 XT B550 

This is the solution for me, RTX 4080. Tried all sorts of reinstalling and settings changes/adminstrator stuff with no success. Turned off this Smooth Motion setting in the Nvidia app for BF6 and it launched first try.

Same Problem.  I was able to play ONLY one match (Conquest, NY), then Windows updated to 24H2 and now, silent crash to launcher.  EA Javelin runs, then bf6.exe starts for about a second (according to Task Manager), then silent crash back to the launcher.   I have tried just about everything.  I am kicking myself for allowing the update restart, I could be playing right now and for the rest of the day. :(  I even removed and reinstalled BF6.  I am out of ideas.
