Latest Battlefield 6 Update Forces Driver 563.xx

Hi EA team,

I’m currently experiencing a major issue with Battlefield 6 on my NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti. The game currently requires drivers version 563.xx or newer to launch, but these newer drivers cause constant DXGI_DEVICE_HUNG or DEVICE_REMOVED errors with this GPU, especially under DX12. Essentially, the game crashes unless I downgrade drivers, but if I do that, the game won’t start because it enforces the newest driver requirement.

To sum up: GTX 1080 Ti users are stuck between a stable older driver that the game won’t accept, and a new driver that makes the game crash under DX12. The workaround is switching to DX11 once in-game, but it would be great if the dev team could address this driver enforcement or improve DX12 stability for older GTX cards.

Thanks for your attention!
