Re: Battlefield 6 PC Won’t Get Past Splash Screen & Crashes to Desktop

I’m trying to launch Battlefield 6 on Steam, but after the splash screen it closes, opens a full black window for about 5 seconds, and then shuts down with no error message. Event Viewer shows no new crash logs after the attempted launch, and the only crash dumps point to NVIDIA/DXGI modules before termination. I already tried forcing DX11, removing DLSS/FrameGen DLLs, clearing shader caches, and updating drivers, but the game still crashes. I'm attaching a reddit post that shows the issue

    same issue here, tried everything under the sun, and I was having this issue with the beta. I bought it on steam assuming the issue would be fixed by launch. how foolish of me

    SOLUTION HAS BEEN FOUND!!!

    OPEN NVIDIA APP ---> GRAPHICS ---> GLOBAL SETTINGS ---> CLICK RESTORE AND LAUNCH AGAIN!

    same issue for me. fresh graphics driver, tried the NVidia App global settings thing, still crashes. for some reason it wants to open EA App as soon as its full screen after that the EA app wants to get a code but game crashes at that point.

    I  have the weirdest workaround that just worked for me, mind you i am on a 5080 and  5120x1440p - i might have figured out what is causing it inddirectly.
    in the  nvidea app, after restoring global settings, set BF6  to windowed and highest performance setting. (this launched the game for me but do NOT make it Fullscreen or anything  for the time being.) After launching, go into settings and there was something still set to "overkill" quality, i think it was textures. (even though we launched it asking to do lowest graphics)
    This is where I went into the campaign mode - and once i had control of my character in campaign,  i opened settings and changed it to fullscreen and manually changed the fullscreen resolution to 5120x1440.
    Havnt switched out of campaign yet but im hopefull and at least i can play something

    For those getting a blacked out window, I found the problem was having "smooth motion" set to active in the Nvidia global settings, if your frame gen is off this may be the cause for anyone still having the issue. Hope this helps
