[BF6] Recurring crash to desktop — Access Violation NULL pointer (bf6.exe)

Hi all,

I'm getting repeated crashes on Battlefield 6 Multiplayer & REDSEC, straight to desktop with no specific error message. I analyzed the crash dump with WinDbg, here are the key details:

  • Error type: Read Access Violation (0xc0000005), attempted read at NULL address (0x0)
  • Faulting module: bf6.exe
  • Approximate symbol: ffxFsr2ResourceIsNull (huge offset, so likely not the actual faulting function — just the nearest exported symbol since there's no public PDB)
  • OS: Windows 10 (build 10.0.26100.1)
  • Game version: 1.0.437.12728

What I've already tried / checked:

  • Driver: GeForce Game Ready 610.88
  • File integrity check
  • FSR2/upscaling/DLSS etc. all disabled
  • Overlays disabled

Specs:

  • CPU: i7 14700K
  • GPU: RTX 5080
  • RAM: DDR5 32GB @ 6800MHz

The crash seems related to the Frostbite engine itself rather than a driver/Windows issue based on the dump. If anyone has hit a similar crash or has any leads, I'd appreciate it. I can provide the full .mdmp file if that helps with investigation.

Thanks in advance!

  • does EA even care about the forum and reports of customers who spent 70€ on their product ?

     

  • Found a workaround, every 3-4 games I have to verify integrity of files so steam always download the 3 same files and I can play again. 

    it's truely insane having to do that on a triple A game in 2026

     

  • I aint gonna lower my CPU because the dev arent capable of delivering an update that doesnt **bleep** up everything. The game was working fine back in 2025 on the exactly same setup. 

    They better fix it fast or the season is dead for thousands of players 

     

     

  • Prevent your CPU from boosting to high, try with 4ghz if it is stable and then move upward. 

    Do it in the BIOS or use Intel Extreme Tuning Utility app.

  • The game is unplayable, it's impossible to finish a game without crashing. And Devs seems clueless on the problem since it's happening since few weeks already.

    The game was working fine back in end of 2025 :) Sadly it's too late to ask steam for a  refund the game

    I have had the same issue, only difference with me is mine is a 14700F, and my GPU is a 5070, not a 5080. My driver is the recommended driver to roll back to though, not yours. But yes same, sometimes crashes on startup sometimes crashes an hour in, sometimes 4 hours in. I'm just going to quit playing until they fix this.
