Re: PC freezing after 10min off playing BF6 since update today 16.4.2026

Since the last update playing BF6 causes my PC to completely freeze mid game at random intervals. Sometimes between 20 to 40 minutes of playing. When it freezes my PC becomes completely unresponsive (even windows ctrl+alt+delete does not work). The only option I have is to power off/on my PC. There are no crash files for BF6 that correspond with the times that this happens or error codes appearing when it causes the crash.

My PC setup is

CPU = AMD Ryzen 9950x3d

MB = ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Hero

GFX = NVidia RTX 5080

RAM = 32GB

OS = Windows 11 (all latest updates installed)

Please assist with fixing this as the game is not playable for any continuous length of time. Also I have no problems playing any other hardware intensive games. This must be a problem caused by the latest update of BF6 as I had no issues playing before the last update.

Hi, I’ve merged your post into an existing discussion. I know this has been a very frustrating weekend for everyone, and thank you for your patience.

We’ve seen a community workaround that has helped many players get back into the game by enabling the iGPU, and the devs have already been made aware of it.

Same here actually it made my entire PC stop working right. I can't open any game or launch OBS or the Nvidia App. Their javelin anticheat made my entire pc stop working
