Re: BF6 crashing and causing PC to restart

Hello everyone,

I am facing persistent crashing problems with Battlefield 6 on my PC, although the system is stable and all other games run fine. The crashes happen within minutes of gameplay and make the game unplayable.

PC Specifications:

• GPU: Nvidia RTX 3080 Aorus Master
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D
• Motherboard: Aorus B550 Pro AC
• Storage: Samsung 980 Pro Gen 4 NVMe SSD
• Cooling: NZXT Kraken X73 liquid cooler
• OS: Windows 11 64-bit fully updated
• GPU Drivers: Latest Nvidia official BF6-optimized drivers
• Antivirus: Disabled during troubleshooting
• Additional Software: EA App, no third-party overlays active

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

1. Fully uninstalled and reinstalled Battlefield 6 with DLCs.
2. Disabled antivirus and third-party overlay apps (Discord, GeForce Experience).
3. Cleared EA App cache and repaired game files.
4. Updated Windows and motherboard BIOS to the latest versions.
5. Updated Nvidia GPU drivers, including BF6-specific releases, and rolled back when needed.
6. Forced DirectX 11 mode with launch option -dx11.
7. Disabled Nvidia Reflex+Boost, enabled TAA, and turned off DLSS, FSR, and all frame generation features.
8. Disabled the unstable FSR 2.0 pipeline by adding GlimpseEnable 0 and GlimpseTelemetryEnable 0 in user.cfg.
9. Increased virtual memory/pagefile size.
10. Edited user.cfg with optimized thread and processor settings as recommended.
11. Disabled XMP profile in BIOS.
12. Ran stress tests: Cinebench for CPU and 3D Furmark for GPU for over 10 minutes each with stable temperatures and no errors.
13. Fixed Windows DistributedCOM permission errors through registry and Component Services adjustments.
14. Verified power delivery to GPU and confirmed system thermal stability.

Despite these exhaustive attempts, Battlefield 6 continues to crash sporadically. Other games are unaffected, indicating this issue is specific to BF6 on my setup.

Has anyone encountered similar persistent crashes with a Ryzen 5800X3D and RTX 3080 rig? Any advice or advanced troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated. I have also contacted EA Support, but input from the community is invaluable.

Thank you for reading!
