Hi,
I’m having a serious issue with Battlefield 6 on PC Steam.
After launching the game, everything runs fine initially, but after 15 minutes from start up, my entire PC freezes completely. This is not just a game crash — the whole system locks up. I lose all input (keyboard, mouse, controller), and I have to force a shutdown using the power button.
What I’ve already tried:
Reinstalled the game
Verified game files
Updated NVIDIA GPU drivers
Updated Windows and BIOS
Disabled overlays (Discord, Steam, etc.)
No overheating issues (temps are normal)
Other games run perfectly fine
Specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X (6-core, 12 threads)
GPU: [ADD YOUR GPU HERE — important]
RAM: 32GB (speed unknown — likely DDR5, please confirm MHz)
Motherboard: MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI
OS: Windows 11 Home (Build 26200)
This issue only happens with Battlefield 6.
Has anyone else experienced this or found a fix? Any help would be appreciated it started happening over 2 weeks ago.
Thanks
Hi again,
I wanted to provide an update because I’ve now spent the last several days trying pretty much every troubleshooting step I can find across the forums, Reddit, YouTube, EA Answers HQ, and through suggestions from other players — and unfortunately the issue is still happening.
At this point, I genuinely don’t believe this is a hardware failure on my PC. Other games run perfectly fine, temperatures are normal, stress tests pass, and this issue only happens with Battlefield 6.
Over the last few days I’ve tried:
Reinstalling the game
Verifying files
Clean reinstalling NVIDIA drivers using DDU
Updating BIOS and chipset drivers
Updating Windows
Disabling overlays
Testing different graphics settings
Changing refresh rates/resolutions
Monitoring temps and usage
Testing stability in other games
The issue remains exactly the same:
After around 10–15 minutes, the entire PC hard freezes and I have to force shutdown the system.
What’s especially frustrating is that I genuinely love this game. I wouldn’t still be spending hours troubleshooting this if I didn’t care about it. I really enjoy the gameplay, the community, and I’m genuinely excited for the upcoming season.
But right now I’m honestly worried I won’t even be able to play it.
The new season is only a few days away, and I still haven’t been able to finish the current battle pass because of these freezes. I just want to be able to play the game properly again.
So I’m asking if there’s any additional help, acknowledgement, or possible fixes coming for this issue — especially since I’m clearly not the only person experiencing it. If any community manager, developer, or support staff sees this, I’d genuinely appreciate any guidance at all.
I really want to continue playing Battlefield 6 on PC, but at this point I’m honestly starting to question whether I’ll need to refund the game if applicable because not being able to even finish a round on a game I payed for is insane and move back to PS5 just to be able to play consistently, which I really do not want to do.
I’m not trying to be aggressive or hostile here — just honest and frustrated because this is one of the main games I spend my free time playing, and right now I simply can’t access it properly.
Any help would be massively appreciated.
Thank You!
Same issue here, PLS fix the game or EA app! 9800x3d 9070xt. Only reset works after one and a half domination play.
