The issue is almost certainly caused by an unstable or faulty graphics engine. The problem appears to have existed since Battlefield 2024.
Neither new nor old GPU drivers make any difference The behavior remains the same. Windows updates can also be ruled out as a likely cause.
According to a Reddit post, enabling “Resizable BAR” in the BIOS might fix the issue — in practice, it does not.
- The many so-called “video fixes” on YouTube (often from India) also have no real effect. The idea of throttling performance so much that the graphics drop below HD is more of a workaround than a solution.
- Updating or reflashing the VBIOS (the GPU BIOS) also has no impact.
- Starting the game with the -d3d11 parameter does not help either.
All tested approaches are ineffective and further troubleshooting in these areas is a waste of time.
Crashes occur most often during graphically intense combat situations. Team Deathmatch modes tend to run relatively stable, but in RedSec and All-Out-Warfare it is almost impossible to complete a full match. There is no consistent pattern as to when the crash happens.
Sometimes only the game and all active Steam processes are terminated, while in other cases the entire system reboots. The most common error codes are:
DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG
and
DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED.
