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

*EDIT: The second Open beta worked for me August 14-17!
Not sure if they patched anything.
Just downloaded it again to try and start it. While i installed BF6 Open Beta i uninstalled vgtray(Riot Anticheat) and the riot app.
The game launched no problems, no clue if it had anything to do with that since i didn't try and launch the game before i uninstalled vgtray and the riot app.

Best of luck to everyone!

BF6 Open Beta crashes on startup after splash screen.

Secure Boot is enabled.
TPM 2.0 is active.
System disk is GPT.

Problem:
  1. I launch from Steam.
  2. I get the splash screen
  3. then a black window with the BF icon appears then it closes after a few seconds.
  4. No error message.

Stuff i have done(This might fix it for some people):
I changed Exploit Protection settings for bf6event.exe and EAAntiCheat.GameServiceLauncher.exe
I turned off the following for both files.
Control flow guard(CFG).
Data Execution Prevention(DEP).
Force randomization for images(Mandatory ASLR).
Randomize memory allocations(Bottom-up ASLR).
Validate heap integrity.
Simulate execution(SEHOP).

I restarted the computer multiple times.
Updated Windows and reinstalled drivers.
Uninstalled anti virus.
Turned off Firewall.
Validated game files (Always says three files failed and will be reacquired.)
Reinstalled the game.
Moved game folder to C: drive.
Turn off all Overlays: Discord/Steam/Nvidia
Uninstalled All EA Javelin Anticheat, Repaired and Reinstalled from the BF6 folder.
Reinstalled EA Anticheat. (Deleted the settings folder and the .exe)
Set .exe files to run as admin, Disable fullscreen optimizations and compatibility mode for Windows 8.
Created another Windows Local account and tried there.
Add -dx11/-dx12 on Launch options.
Reinstalled Directx12.
Turned off all non Microsoft services on startup.
Uninstalled Razor Synapse.
Installed/Repaired all VC++.
Disc Clean up.
Turn off Memory Integrity.
Turn off hyper-v

sfc /scannow
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
sfc /scannow

When i verify game files after these i successfully validate all files, which i couldn't do before.
Clean install of my Nvidia drivers.
Uninstalled SCP drivers for PS3 controller to work with windows.
Updated BIOS.
Removed extra hard drives.
Installed EA App and BF on that.
Checked Storage Pool statis in Powershell (Get-StoragePool), replugged HDDs, and confirmed poool went back to Healthy.(It was marked as degraded before)

If you have Windows 10/11 ["N"] (Pro N or Home N)
then you can try and download this and Install the pack that matches your Windows version (e.g., 21H2, 22H2, 24H2, etc.)

What i think will fix the problem but won't do:
Reinstall Windows 11 and change to HOME edition instead of PRO

Correlation between people who have this problem so far:
A lot of people have PRO edition on windows.
RTX 4070 or better.
Have other games on the computer modded(maybe)

Specs:
Windows got deactivated after the latest windows update.... Had an OEM key
Windows 11 PRO! windows update: 24H2
i7 14700KF(BIOS A.H0 board 7E06vAH)
RTX 4070 Ti.
64 GB RAM.

    Yes, you can try something else now. Send EA products to hell.

    If a game requires so many manipulations to launch - this is a huge screw-up by the developer, this is not normal. People shouldn't do such crap and dig into BIOS settings.

    Beta is created for testing, but in fact many people simply cannot run it, what tests are we talking about?

    A similar situation happened when they introduced a new anti-cheat for BF 2042 (I think a year or two ago). Then my game stopped launching after a splash screen, and this lasted for about SIX MONTHS, so I completely missed the 6th season, although I had a paid battle pass and I supported the game in every possible way (paid every battle pass and played a lot in the darkest times of BF series). 

    They just threw up their hands, a huge number of people had the same problem - nothing happened after the splash screen of the anti-cheat. And now the same thing with the new game. You can find this topics on the BF2042 forum's branch.

    And I would ask myself a question - buying a game for 100 bucks (okay, the standard edition costs 70, which is also not a small amount) - can I be sure that it will launch for me? I am not so sure anymore and all this song and dance is no longer interesting to me, I suffered too much with BF2042 and do not want to do it again.

    Draw your own conclusions.

    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.
