BF6 crashes without error message

Hello,
EA_Aljo​ 

I've been experiencing recurring crashes in Battlefield 6 since February 2026. I have 10 crash dumps spanning 4 months and after analyzing them I think this is a game-side bug, not a hardware or driver issue.

What I've already tried (nothing worked): 

  • Updated AMD drivers to latest (26.6.2) -> still crashes
  • Rolled back AMD drivers to 26.5.2 -> still crashes
  • Disabled FSR / FidelityFX in-game settings -> still crashes
  • Repaired game files -> still crashes
  • all drivers updated -> still crashes
  • BIOS updated (3.50, 4.10, 4.20) -> still crashes

All 10 dumps across 4 months have the exact same crash signature: 

  • Frostbite engine, DX12 rendering path (Engine.Render.Core2.PlatformPcDx12)
  • Crash triggers in EmitterGraphShaderDatabasePrime (particle shader loading)
  • Always happening inside ConcurrentExecutor (the async job system)

Interesting finding: Even with FSR disabled (never been) in the game settings, the AMD FidelityFX Frame Generation DLL (amd_fidelityfx_framegeneration_dx12.dll) is still being loaded and initialized by the game. The in-game FSR toggle does not actually unload the DLL. This may be contributing to the crash — the game appears to have a race condition or initialization fault when the FidelityFX and Intel XeSS stacks are both initialized concurrently alongside the particle shader database loading.

My system:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
  • GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (24 GB VRAM, Navi 31 / RDNA 3)
  • RAM: 64 GB
  • Motherboard: ASRock X670E Steel Legend
  • OS: Windows 11 Pro 64-bit (Build 26200)
  • GPU Driver: AMD Adrenalin 26.5.2 (rolled back from 26.6.2 — same crash on both)
  • DirectX: 12

Happy to provide crash dumps to the dev team if it helps but not here in the public forum.

Regards

    Thank you. Here's what I would suggest:

    1. Clear all shader caches. Game cache, Windows DX cache, AMD cache.
    2. Disable all overlays and hook-based tools. Discord overlay, Steam overlay, Radeon overlay, MSI Afterburner / RTSS, recording tools.
    3. Turn off HAGS and ReBAR for a test run
    4. Launch BF6 with a minimal AMD install. Driver only, nothing extra
    5. Try a clean boot


    Let's see if any of these help.

  • Hello,

    sorry for late response but I was testing all the suggestions you gave me. But non of those were the cause of the issue. But I figure it out which still doesn't make sense to me. 
    When I turned off the EXPO profile for my DDR5 RAM (6400Mhz). Now it runs without issues. But even though I did find the solution to my problem it is not the solution I desire. It should run also with EXPO set on.
