BF6 on Steam can't launch. Opens black screen then crashes

I launch the game from steam and it opens a black window and then crashes. Sometimes there is an event in Windows Event Viewer about javelin anti-cheat having a problem, sometimes there is not.

4080 Super GPU

7800x3D CPU

32GB RAM

All of the followings didn't work

  • Reinstall the game and verify local files through steam 
  • Update Windows 
  • Update bios 
  • Add bf6.exe, SP bf6.exe, and anticheat exe to exploit protection overrides in Windows security with every single setting disabled 
  • Turn off motion smoothing in Nvidia app both globally and for bf6 specifically 
  • Update GPU drivers 
  • Update chipset drivers
  • Reinstall on the C drive 
  • Run EA app as administrator 
  • Clear EA app cache 
  • Reinstall EA javelin anti-cheat 
  • Completely uninstall and reinstall GPU drivers using DDU
  • Enable memory integrity and windows

    There are many other threads from other with similar solutions. Unfortunately each seems to have a different solution so there isn't a silver bullet here.

    I have still not found a solution but I'm leaving links in case they help anyone

    • Steam BattleField 6 wont launch | EA Forums - 12741834 
      • solutions mentioned:
        • right click game on steam->prop->DLC-> uncheck multiplayer HD marker and Multiplayer marker. This should clear a "game not released" 512MB in your download section of steam even though you can launch the game from lib. Now right click game->prop->installed files->  validate filesSteam then downloaded 8 files for me and it launches now!
        • use a different microsoft account w/same steam account
