Invalid Pointer and Access Violations (CRASH)
Again i’m reaching out to share my frustration with Battlefield 6 and the consistent crashes I’ve been encountering. After performing various hardware tests (including MemTest86, stress tests, and verifying all components), I’ve found no issues with my hardware. However, BF6 crashes immediately after launching or during gameplay. I’ve tried updating drivers, reinstalling the game, updating the BIOS, and even reinstalling Windows — but the problem persists.
Interestingly, I’ve been able to run demanding games like Alan Wake 2 and Stellar Blade without any issues, so it's clear this problem is specific to BF6.
Crash Details:
After analyzing the crash dumps, I found the following:
Error Type: Access Violation (INVALID_POINTER_READ)
Error Code: 0xC0000005
Faulting Module: bf6.exe
Faulting Function: ffxFsr2ResourceIsNull (memory address: 0x144b3a6e0)
Exception Information: The crash occurs when the game attempts to read from the invalid memory address 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.
Crash Dump File: CrashDump_2026.01.03_14.56.48.058.mdmp
This indicates a problem within bf6.exe at the ffxFsr2ResourceIsNull function, which seems to involve faulty memory access during runtime. The issue appears to be related to a null pointer dereference, possibly due to a bug in the game’s code or an incompatibility with the system’s configuration.
I’ve tried multiple solutions, including updating the drivers, reinstalling the game, updating the BIOS, and reinstalling Windows, but the issue still persists.
