BF6 Unplayable - Random Crashes, freezing, BSOD

I've been playing BF6 through the beta and since it's launch with 191 hrs through steam with no issues.  Game ran perfectly fine and I've been enjoying it.  On Oct 23rd I bought Powerwash Sim 2, but the game would randomly crash.  Shortly after, several other games began crashing randomly.  BF6 was spared, and I was able continue playing without issue as I ran through a multitude of attempted fixes for the other games.

After rolling back drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling games on different disc drives, using DDU to clean reinstall drivers, turning off and on the xmp profile.  I even deleted and reinstalled EA Anti-Cheat since it caused a BSOD even though I wasn't playing BF6 at the time?? But I finally landed on a resolution.  Deleting the Directx Shader Cache.  Now all the other games run perfectly fine.  Through all of this, BF6's performance over nearly a week of attempting fixes for the other games did not waiver.  The same night I finally landed on the resolution BF6 continued to perform perfectly fine.  The next night it crashed once on launch (directx error), but then ran fine for a couple matches. The next day it's completely unplayable, and it's been that way for the past 3 days.

Every 'fix' I find just causes a different issue to start.  BF6 crashes from Directx Error, I run the fixes for that. BF6 causes BSOD a minute or two into a match (irql_not_less_or_equal kernel issue). I run the fixes for that. BF6 freezes mid match, I can still look around but the game is completely frozen. I run the fixes for that. BF6 crashes again, and when I try to verify the integrity of the game on steam, it says 3 files are corrupted and will be replaced. I run the fixes for that. BF6 Directx Error again.  Just a minute ago it caused another BSOD, but not the same as before. Application Error: The instruction at 0x0000000145067C22 referenced memory at 0x0000000000000025. The memory could not be read. and my pc started to self-restart.

Intel Core i7-13700k @ 3.4GHz, 32gb of Ram, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070

I've uninstalled and reinstalled BF6 and Anticheat. I've repaired them, I've ensured my PC has no corrupted files itself, I've run MemTest86 for 8 passes and no Errors. I've tried every fix I could find online and while each one seems to resolve it's own specific issue, a different issue pops up.  I feel like I'm going insane.  Every other game, including the ones that had been crashing before, run perfectly fine. BF6 is the ONLY game with issues now.

  • I uninstalled and reinstalled Anti-cheat and the game seems stable again.  No other games run into any issues.  I'll be skeptically optimistic that things will work out now.  For anyone else running into similar issues here's what seemed to fix things or, at least, make them temporarily better

    1. BIOS update

    2. Uninstall/Reinstall EA Anticheat

    Hey I get that HANG error can you help me?

  • same here man... I even backed up my files on different hard/solid state drives and went back from Windows 11 to Windows 10 with a fresh sweep of the system, and I'm still getting random crashes to desktop and even full reboots of my pc, I have never played all my games more smooth, even Battlefield 6 is running smooth... It's just that I can't stop Battlefield 6 in particular from crashing... I am sick of EA coming up with excuses and never fixing their games.. I paid over $160 CA, for an annual EA Pro membership, and I can't even play the game more than 15 minutes before there's a crash.

    I also had problems with other games after playing Battlefield 6.

    For example, Space Marine 2 and AC: Valhalla started crashing after launch if I played Battlefield 6 before launching them. 

    I guess that Battlefield's kernel anti-cheat is the source of such problems.

    I have to head to work soon so it will take a bit to respond past this.

    My pc has a second GPU as well but BF6 (and the computer in general) should be set to only use the NVIDIA GPU
