Hi folks,
Thank you again for continuing to share your crash reports -- they’ve been incredibly helpful as we work through this issue. We understand how frustrating this is, and we want to assure you that our team is actively investigating the root cause.
‼️ Potential Workaround
In the meantime, we would like to share some workarounds that have helped some players (example here) get back in-game. We’re fully aware that some workarounds, like a reinstall, aren’t an ideal recommendation, and we’re conscious of the time it takes from you, but it has resolved the issue for a number of affected players:
1. Remove “Levels” Folders (Player-Reported)
Some players have reported success with the following:
- Go to your Battlefield 6 installation directory (this may differ depending on where you installed the game)
- Use the search bar in the top-right of File Explorer to search for “levels”
- Delete all “levels” folders found
- Then run a Repair (Steam or EA app)
2. Crashing When Entering Eastwood
If you’re crashing specifically when loading into Eastwood:
- In your game installation directory, delete the file:
Data\Win32\game\glaciermp\levels\mp_eastwood\mp_eastwood.toc - Then run a Repair (Steam or EA app)
3. Crashing When Loading Into Specific Maps
If the crash occurs while loading into any of these levels:
- Cairo
- Badlands
- Eastwood
Try the following:
- Navigate to:
Data\Win32\game\glaciermp\levels\
(within your Battlefield 6 installation folder) - Delete all files inside that levels directory
- Then run a Repair (Steam or EA app)
4. Full Reinstall (Last Resort)
This is not an ideal step, but it has resolved the issue for a number of affected players:
- Uninstall the game
- Reboot your PC
- Reinstall the game
Still Crashing After All of This?
If none of the above helps and you’re still experiencing crashes, we’d like to gather a bit more information so we can escalate effectively:
- Which platform are you using? (EA app, Steam, etc.)
- A crash dump (if one is being generated) 👉 Check HERE
- How the game was patched:
- Automatically updated through your launcher
- Manually updated using an “Update” button
- Or anything else you noticed during the update process
This information is greatly appreciated and helps us narrow down the remaining scenarios.
These aren't permanent solutions, but rather a temporary measure that has shown positive results for others while we continue to work on a proper solution. We truly appreciate your patience and the time you’ve taken to send in reports. It genuinely helps us move faster toward a more permanent fix.
Thank you.

Unfortunately, your instructions didn’t help at all.
I completely uninstalled the game, removed all remaining Battlefield folders, restarted my PC, and reinstalled the game. But it still crashes randomly in the middle of gameplay. This doesn’t happen with other graphically demanding games. I even went as far as doing a full Windows reinstall—but the game still crashes.
I find it frustrating that after spending €100 on a game, it keeps crashing constantly. If you’re lucky, you might get through a full match without issues. Sorry, but this is unacceptable.

Reinstalling game did nothing for the random crashes.

For me what seems to have fixed it was clearing shader cache via disk manager and manually deleting cache from folder NVIDIA or AMD folders located in your %localappdata%
so far been playing even on new map without crashes - GravyTrain11293 months agoRising Traveler
Can you guys start addressing the problem where like 40% of players are getting latency variation when trying to play conquest or breakthrough. Ever since REDSEC drop, those modes have become unplayable. Says im in santiago when I live in MD, USA. I was able to play it before the update with no issues. Didnt have any issues in the beta either. Its been over a month of dealing with this problem and all the community managers and devs have been radio silent on this issue. Was hoping you all would have fixed it with this last update but of course you didnt. If these problems persist. I want my 70$ back. The game is practically unplayable now and you all are jack to fix it or even communicate that the problem is being looked at.
