crashing midgame to desktop without error
It's no surprise that Battlefield 6 crashes for many people – it happens on my system as well.
My system:
Aorus Elite AX Z590
RX 6950 XT Speedster Merc 319
1000W Gold Ares Gaming Modular PSU
i7-11700K
32 GB DDR4 3200
What I've tried:
Reinstalled the anti-cheat
Used DDU to uninstall and reinstall GPU drivers
Adjusted virtual memory on the system drive
Disabled possible overlays
Monitored temperatures: CPU 80°C, GPU hotspot 85°C – all within normal range
Reinstalled the game
Tweaked various graphics settings
Updated BIOS
Tried without XMP profile
And several other things
Unfortunately, nothing worked.
Windows Event Viewer doesn't even log the crash.
I extracted the latest BF6 crash dump and it seems the problem is related to FSR:
Crash details:
Exception Code: 0xc0000005 → Access Violation (invalid memory access)
Attempted access: 0x00000009cb276e10 (read)
Faulting module: bf6.exe
Function: bf6!ffxFsr2ContextGenerateReactiveMask+0x1b3d1
This is part is part of the Frostbite Engine, specifically the FidelityFX Super Resolution 2 (FSR2) code.
I don't even have FSR enabled!
BF6 references FSR2 code internally, even when FSR2 is turned off. This happens because the Frostbite Engine loads some functions for post-processing or render pipelines regardless of settings. The crash is engine-internal, not directly caused by user settings.
I honestly don't know what else to try… what are your thoughts?
