Game crashing to desktop without error message since 12/12 hotfix

Game crashing to desktop without error message since latest hotfix (as of 12/12-2025) 

Hi! So Battlefield 6 has run flawlessly up until this recent hotfix (that went live on the 12th), now I can play a game 10-15 minutes when the game suddenly crashes to desktop without any error messages. (This has happened during 4 out of 5 of my latest games)

My drivers are up to date, I run the game at great settings with a meagre load on CPU, VRAM and GPU and have, as stated, had no issues with game stability up until this point (not counting a random crash during launch week). Anyone else having this issue?

(playing on Steam, PC) 

Cheers!

    Same... Could not play for a few days because of the main menu problem, Now after the hot fix, no more than 5-10 min, and drop to the desktop. Had no problems before the last update, Now #$%^&**&^%$#. 

    Ok 18 days later, Found MY fix. It was my Bios that needed to be updated. My computer was built about a month before all this happened. And played BF6 Really well until that update. I did have other games that stilled play just fine and that sent me down a rabbit hole. So my ROG Strix Z890 motherboard just needed a Bios Update. Also the latest motherboard update came out only a few days before the BF6 update.

  • Have not played in three weeks, so no idea which patch caused it, but the game does not even open. Completes Anticheat checks and simply closes. Tried moving to different drive, reinstalling Javelin alone, full game reinstall, game file verification, going to older GPU drivers, Defender exceptions, compatibility settings (windows 8, fullscreen optimizations and administrator), clearing EA, Steam, AMD and Windows cache, sfc scannow, Visual C++ Redistributable, DNS refresh clearing CMOS.. Nothing helped. Secure boot off, try to launch the game - it detects its off, so its not related to that either. I literally have no idea what else to do.

    Steam, R5 5600, RX 6800XT, Windows 10 22H2. Had little to no previous crashes or performance issues

  • Same issue I have spent +200$ now on skins and stuff too and ts won’t let me play, my t2.0 secure boot is on everything good please reply with fix

    Problem for me as well. But for me it crashes when compiling shaders, 34% then some stuttering and crash to desktop.

    No message, just to desktop. Worked fine before the update.

    Working to unlock the ice axe, and now  i cant even play.

    Same, except i haven't been able to finish a single game since the update. It's tough when you're on a roll and then suddenly just see your desktop...
