PC Constantly Blue-Screening Randomly During Gameplay
Before I state the main issue, I just want to say that I have been having this issue since the Beta. And because of it, I was unable to play the beta for almost the entirety of its two week runtime. After the beta ended I decided to get back into BF2042 to tide me over until the release of BF6, and I encountered the same issue there. Now with Battlefield 6 released I am STILL encountering this issue. Here's what I know about the issue from two months of experiencing it:
9/10 times when I play the game on Steam, my PC will BSOD, and usually throw an error like: “IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (0xA), What failed: ntoskrnl.exe” or some other error (IRQL/ntoskrnl.exe is the most common one I see). This happens during random points during gameplay or when loading into a match. After checking my dump files and the Event Viewer, the issue always stems from a Memory Access Violation Error (0xC0000005) caused by the eaanticheat.exe. After scouring online searching for a solution, I believe I have tried every suggested fix I could find on here, Reddit, the Microsoft support forums, and a plethora of YouTube videos. I have tried:
- Uninstalling/reinstalling the anti-cheat and the game itself (restarting the PC between installing)
- Toggling my overlays (Nvidia, Discord, and Steam)
- Toggling memory core isolation
- Making exceptions for the game and the anti cheat in Windows Defender
- Running the EA app, game, and anti cheat as admin
- Verifying the integrity of game files
- Running hardware and memory diagnostics
- Scanning and repairing corrupted system files (there were none)
- Updating drivers and Bios
- Rolling back Nvidia Drivers
I am just so tired of debugging this game and I am posting this on here, PRAYING that someone may have a solution or is having similar issues like me and has yet to find a solution. Most of the forums I have seen similar issues on are 3 years old or older and don’t really provide any fixed that have worked for me.
If it helps my current specs are:
GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti
CPU: 13th Gen Intel Core i7-13700K
RAM: 32 Gb
Go to Documents >> Click on the Battlefield 6 folder >> And delete the CrashDumps file and relaunch the game. So far only had that one crash doing this after TWO AND A HALF HOURS of uninterrupted gameplay, and the game seems much more stable now after doing it.
