Gauntlet Mode Crashing Constantly – Widespread Issue, No Error Message

Hi EA/DICE team,

I’m posting to raise visibility on what appears to be a widespread crash issue specifically tied to Gauntlet mode. I have around 250 hours in BF6, with about half in REDSEC Gauntlet, and stability has become a major problem over the last few months.

The crash is always the same. The game suddenly closes to desktop with no error message. No warning, no crash report. It most often happens when spawning, right after spawning, or during heavy action. Sometimes it can be triggered by repeatedly trying to spawn on squadmates or using random spawn.

Other modes are completely stable for me. I have never crashed in BR, Conquest, Breakthrough, or Portal, even in chaotic matches. This appears isolated to Gauntlet mode.

Before the winter updates, crashes happened maybe 10 percent of the time. Now it feels closer to 20 percent or more. My squad often cannot get through 3–4 Gauntlet matches without someone crashing. We lose XP, battle pass progress, win streaks, and time invested in longer runs. Two friends have stopped playing entirely because of this.

This does not appear to be isolated to one system. Multiple friends crash frequently, while others with similar or lower-end PCs never crash. We also notice random teammates dropping from Gauntlet far more often than other modes. This suggests a mode-specific stability issue rather than purely hardware.

I have spent dozens of hours troubleshooting:

Clean GPU driver installs

BIOS and chipset updates

XMP on and off

GPU underclock testing

DLSS, FSR, XeSS testing

Cleared shader cache

Verified and reinstalled game

Disabled overlays

Monitored temps and power (all normal)

No other game crashes on my system.

We love Gauntlet and want to keep playing, but it’s becoming barely playable when long runs can be lost to random crashes. It also seems worse since winter updates and hasn’t been addressed in patch notes.

Are the developers aware of Gauntlet-specific crash issues?

Is this currently being investigated?

Are there logs or data we can provide to help track it down?

Happy to provide system specs, crash info, or testing support if needed.

Just hoping for acknowledgment and a path forward because this feels like a widespread issue affecting a lot of Gauntlet players.

Thanks.
