Launching BF6 game via Steam will result in a crash to desktop without any error message. Crash will happen 100% of the time, exactly 20-30s after initializing the game. The timing is perfectly consistent and does not vary.
Rolling back this Preview update fixes the issue entirely. I attempted numerous other actions to try to resolve the issue before rolling back the update. These include deleting graphics shader cache files, reinstalling BF6 game, reinstalling nvidia graphics driver, altering windows defender settings for BF6 app, turning off all other background processes possible.
I have submitted this same report to Windows feeback too. Hopefully you guys can work to fix it before this update gets pushed out to the general release channel.

I am having the same issue.
It was working perfectly fine with
26300.9445
26200.9267
26200.9168And well any update prior to that.
Considering 26300.9539 had every single change as a gradual update it was annoying, but glad someone else is having the same issue so it means I am not alone.
For info, I can see that EA Anticheat is crashing out in both the application and system logs and reinstalling EA Anticheat hasnt helped one bit.
Hopefully something is done before the 13th October when windows update for non-insders will get newer (albeit 26200) builds.

AFAIK Preview Updates are simply not supported. Like the rest of BF6 it is a hit and miss.

Thats fair, just its the first time for a while a game hasn't worked for me on release preview and I don't typically try to use the beta, canary or experimental builds on real hardware or for any day to day use.
So this is actually a preview build of what will be released to non-insiders next month so hopefully will be resolved by then.

i think since javelin is working on kernel level it needs some time for them to build it for a specific release.

Thanks... I had the same issue. I had tried all of the usual things, but had no luck. I uninstalled "Preview Update (KB5124010) (26300.9539)", and viola, the game runs again.

I'm using the EA app. Battlefield 6 and F1 2025 crash to the desktop after a minute. It's the Javelin Anti-Cheat's fault.

same happening to me right after re-starting the computer whilst the newest Win update KB5124010 was installed, right after that the game launches while in background and when I moveover the cursor to it and enter (clicking in) the game instantly crashes to the desktop without any error msg. I'm not using steam but launches via EA app, so it's not limited by steam but the game respective Javelin entirely.
I'm gonna reroll the windows update now and hope everything return to back normal.
yday w/o the win update I could play completely issue-free - EA_Shepard15 days ago
