Battlefield 6 – Repeated Soft Crashes to Desktop (No Error Code) on PC

Question

Hello everyone,&nbsp;I am posting here in hopes of finding a solution or confirming whether others are experiencing the same issue. Over the past week, I have been dealing with consistent soft crashes to the desktop while playing Battlefield 6 on PC. The game closes instantly with no error message, no error code, and no warning of any kind.&nbsp;&nbsp;Issue Description&nbsp;&nbsp;The crashes occur in several scenarios:&nbsp;At the end of matchesBetween roundsOccasionally mid-match during normal gameplay&nbsp;&nbsp;There is no pattern beyond the fact that the crashes are frequent and completely random. The game simply exits to the desktop as if it was never running.&nbsp;&nbsp;Troubleshooting Steps Already Attempted&nbsp;&nbsp;I want to emphasize that I have tried every reasonable troubleshooting method, including but not limited to:&nbsp;Updating GPU, chipset, and all relevant driversRepairing and verifying game filesCompletely reinstalling the gameUpdating Windows and performing system integrity checksTesting temperatures, voltages, and system stabilityDisabling overlays and background applicationsRunning the game on different graphics presetsResetting NVIDIA control panel settingsClearing cache and temporary files&nbsp;&nbsp;Despite all these steps, the issue persists with no improvement. At this point it is becoming extremely frustrating, as there is no indication of what causes the crash.&nbsp;&nbsp;Important Note&nbsp;&nbsp;All of my non-EA games run perfectly smooth on this system without any crashes or performance issues. This strongly suggests that the problem is specific to Battlefield 6, not my hardware or system environment.&nbsp;&nbsp;System Specifications&nbsp;&nbsp;Here are my full PC specs for reference:&nbsp;CPU: Intel Core i7-10700KFGPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070Motherboard: ASUS TUF Z490RAM: 32GBStorage: Samsung 990 Pro NVMePSU: 750W 80+ GoldOS: Windows 11&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Request for Assistance&nbsp;&nbsp;If anyone has encountered similar soft crashes or found a working solution, I would greatly appreciate your input. If the EA team needs diagnostic logs, crash dumps, or a DxDiag report, I am more than willing to provide them.&nbsp;This issue is affecting the gameplay experience significantly, and I hope we can identify the cause or confirm whether this is a known problem that requires a patch.&nbsp;Thank you in advance, and I appreciate any help or insights from the community or EA representatives.

Hi, you're not alone. In my case it is a stornvme error that makes the drive disappear. I also have a 990 pro and tested a 980 pro as well.

Do you have a single drive or what's your storage config exactly? If you have the game installed on a 990pro as a D: drive, it might be the same issue that I'm having.

Thanks for your response. Just to clarify, my 990 Pro is installed as my C: drive and I have never had any issues with the drive disappearing or failing. I played the game for more than 200 hours without a single problem, and then suddenly constant crashes started happening out of nowhere. I am completely sure the issue is not related to my storage or hardware. This looks like a game-side problem and the developers need to be aware of it and fix it as soon as possible.

I also had over a 100 hours with no crashes. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with your drive, but if it is the C: drive it might not register the error. If you have a spare sata ssd it is worth a try

I have the same issue, not regarding the SSD but the crash situation.

You can take a look into /documents/Battlefield 6/CrashDumps where the dumps of your game crashes are located. Its origin is somerwhere in the last major update.

You can use WinDump to analyze your dump file and post the result into a post here. Be careful with WinDump downloads - just use the one from Microsoft.

After extensive testing and considerable troubleshooting, I was able to identify a solution to this issue, and it may also help others who are experiencing the same problem. It appears that the game—or possibly its engine—is unusually sensitive and unstable. I had been running a clean and stable CPU overclock, which under normal circumstances should not cause any issues; in fact, a proper overclock typically improves performance rather than creating problems. However, once I reverted the CPU to its stock clock speeds, the issue disappeared entirely. Interestingly, all other games run perfectly fine with the overclock enabled—Battlefield 6 is the only exception. A very strange case.
