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

Question

Hi all,I'm getting repeated crashes on Battlefield 6 Multiplayer &amp; 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.exeApproximate 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: 1.0.437.12728What I've already tried / checked:Driver: GeForce Game Ready 610.88File integrity checkFSR2/upscaling/DLSS etc. all disabledOverlays disabledSpecs:CPU: i7 14700KGPU: RTX 5080RAM: DDR5 32GB @ 6800MHzThe 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!

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.&nbsp;

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

Prevent your CPU from boosting to high, try with 4ghz if it is stable and then move upward.&nbsp;Do it in the BIOS or use Intel Extreme Tuning Utility app.

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
