Can't even play the game, crashing at compiling shaders on launch.

My build is an i7-14000KF , Rog STRIX z790a-wifi 2 motherboard, 64 gb of corsair ddr5, and a GeForce 3060 12gb GPU. The Battlefield 6 beta worked perfectly fine and i had absolutely no lag, glitches, bugs or problems of any kind. I downloaded the game when it released and have not been able to play it at all. My system more than meets the requirements, everything was recently benchmarked at MicroCenter and they told me all my hardware is good, there's nothing faulty and all my drivers for every single component i could possibly think of have been updated. The game is incredibly stuttery and laggy on launch, then i get to the screen where it tells me to press spacebar to play, the shaders start compiling in an incredibly laggy loading screen and as the shaders are compiling it crashes in between 24% and 25% progress every single time. I've tried disabling my gpu shader cache, and even increasing the cache size all the way to unlimited. My brother has the exact same 12gb 3060, and his BF6 game works fine so i can rule out the GPU not being powerful enough. From what i can tell, this shader compilation crash issue seems to be affecting steam players more, which is what i bought the game on. I'm at a loss, i've looked at every youtube video, reddit post, and forum i can for any solutions. Everything i've tried hasn't fixed anything. I've bought a 70$ game i can't play. Plz help.

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You’ve really helped me a lot. I’ll give it a try later. By the way, your game is working fine now, right?

    Here you go man

    Fix:

    1. Open CMD application as administrator
    2. type in this command dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth (DO NOT BE IMPATIENT, THIS PROCESS WILL TAKE A FEW MINUTES)
    3. After it says the process is completed, type this command sfc /scannow (THIS WILL TAKE A FEW MINUTES AS WELL)
    4. After completion, Restart PC.
    5. Run through the steps again, if the SFC command prompt says there are no files to repair, you are good. If it says it found more files that needed repair, restart PC and run through the steps again until it says there were no files to repair. Run your game and it should get past the shader compilation.

    For my sake and many others, instead of just saying you fixed it. Leave a break down for the others as well. This is an issue that probably hundreds are having and it would be nice to play the game lol. I'm glad you were able to get yours to work though.

    Anyway you can describe what you did more specifically? Still having the same issue even after using DISM and SFC command before shader compiling multiple times.

    Can you please show me how to do it step by step? I’m having the same issue as you, and I’m new to this

  • The fix was running DISM and SFC like 20x until battlefield 6 started working...

  • The game is what's crashing, not my pc so it's just a straight crash to my desktop, no error or crash report from steam or battlefield. "The EAAntiCheatService service terminated with the following error: 
    %%4294901855" is the error code i pulled from Event Viewer.

  • GamerFreak1220​  what kind of crash are you experiencing. Does the game crash to desktop or does the computer shut down like the power button is pressed?

    Do you see any error messages for BF6 in Windows Event Viewer? Are there crash dump files in Documents\Battlefield 6\CrashDump ?
