Potential Fix for BF6 Freezing for AMD users

Hello this is the sixth day with the Microsoft's AMD driver 25,20,42,14 and still I am witnessing no issues!

After jumping through every hoop. I was hoping s3 would fix this bug but it still persists. Done with ea anticheat and all ea future titles. Moving to linux enjoy this slop.

Almost a month I have had freezing in Battlefield .I use an AMD pc with ryzen 7 9800x3d and rx 9070xt gpu - where can I get help with this ?

Thanks for all the proactive help. The studio has been working closely with our first-party partners. It’s great to hear things have been crash-free for you these past few days!

Is there a possibility that AMD’s FSR 4 driver implementation is responsible for the crashes/freezes?? For example, if someone (like myself) installs the driver through the Windows Update Catalog manually or Windows Update automatically, that installation does not include additional system modules such as ryzenmasterdriver.sys or amdxcffx64.dll (which apparently brings FSR 4.1 support).

In contrast, Microsoft’s 25.20.42.14 driver only installs a basic version of the driver, which in my opinion is actually better because fewer modules mean fewer DPCs in the system.

What I noticed today while gaming was that switching between FSR Quality and Balanced modes happened instantly. However, with AMD’s 26.3.1 drivers (while FSR 4.1 was loaded) there was a slight pause before the upscaling loaded.

I honestly think you guys should get in touch with AMD’s engineers because I’m convinced that FSR 4, combined with shader compilation, is causing this issue — at least on AMD cards.

As always I am trying to help but no one is trying what I mentioned from my comment above I did play 4hours today 3 the multiplayer mode and the other one the RedSec this is the third day with no crashes whatsoever!

-Thanks in advance!

Have you tried using the 25.20.42.14 driver from Microsoft? If not, I’d recommend using DDU to completely remove your current driver first, then either installing it through Windows Update or downloading it manually from here.

I have reasons to believe that, aside from the shaders compilation, another possible culprit could be the RyzenMasterDriver module, which is not loaded by Microsoft’s AMD driver.

if you have a Navi GPUs rx 5000 series and above!

Latest may 5th update does nothing except reset all my options to default making me even less likely to play. Still freezing. Trying for steam refund yet again.

Hello friend

Penguin thinks there can be multiple root causes for Javelin EA Anticheat making the game freeze.

The point is not whether EA Javelin anti-cheat is involved or not, it is already known that it is.

The point is that different system configurations can still affect how and when these freezes happen.

Drivers windows update, BIOS, CPU types, different XMP memory profiles, shader compilation can all play a role. EA Javelin Anti cheat might trigger the freeze often but not always for the same reason.

That's why some fixes work for some players, and not for others.

Many thanks for the post friend as it gave the opportunity to provide this clarification 😀

Big Fan Of Battlefield!
Many Thanks

I am using AM4 system with 5800x3D so i don't think that it affects only the AM5 users, did you try what I posted please do!

It is not a driver issue it is a javelin kernel issue that mostly affects am5 boards using x3d chips but not exclusive. Reinstalling video drivers does nothing.
