Game was working perfectly fine for me on Launch, but yesterday/today I have been almost completely unable to play the game, BF6 loads up just fine and theres no issues while in the menus, but just before im finished loading into a match, my game freezes for a second followed by closing into my desktop without any error messages. Occasionally I get into a game and can actually play for ~1 minute before the freeze followed by crash occurs, and I actually somehow managed to fully complete a match of breakthrough, before once again silently crashing upon loading into the next match.A number of fixes related to game settings and BIOS, including updating my BIOS, did not solve the issue.Specs: 9070xt5700x3d32gb RAM(Playing on Steam)

I tried 3x times on launch day to play the game and I had 3 crashes with the exact behaviour that you describe. I managed less than 60mins of actual game time. Didn't manage to complete a single match.I gave up in the end, thought it could be a release bug, figured I'd try again a few days later. Which I did. Only then to find out my account was issued a ban after the 3rd and final crash of the launch day.It's pathetic for a company of this stature to produce this poor quality product. That's before we get on about the almost non-existent follow up customer care.

Good morning Oskool,Windows is fully up to date; I double-checked everything yesterday: BIOS update, chipset drivers, and Windows Update. I reinstalled BF6, reinstalled EA Anti-Cheat as admin, tried running everything with admin rights, tested the game on low to high settings with and without DLSS and Frame Generation, checked my PC temperatures (all within normal range), set EA Anti-Cheat to "Automatic" in services.msc, configured everything in Exploit Protection, and reinstalled the graphics driver in Safe Mode using DDU. Secure Boot is also enabled. I also disabled all overlays and background programs and ran a memory test. Honestly, I feel like I have tried everything.

RealAntiHero Windows Event Viewer is an app that comes preinstalled on Windows OS.It shows error messages about why apps crash.

the game wouldn't fully launch if secure boot isn't enabled

I have the same problem. Before a crash happens, the Windows Event Viewer always shows three information messages in this order, and then the crash occurs:Info 1 / 17:26: The file system filter “EAAntiCheat” (10.0, ‎2025-10-07T00:38:58.000000000Z) was successfully loaded and registered with the Filter Manager.Info 2 / 17:27: The startup type of the “Background Intelligent Transfer Service” was changed from Manual to Automatic.GameCrash Info 3 / 17:33: The file system filter “EAAntiCheat” (Version 10.0, ‎2025-10-07T00:38:58.000000000Z) was successfully unloaded.After the third message, the silent crash always happens.This time, I also had the following crash message in the Windows Event Viewer:Service “EAAntiCheatService” was terminated unexpectedly. This has happened 1 time. Event ID 7034.In about 90% of the cases, it’s always the GameCrash Info 3 that appears right before the crash.Operating System: Windows 11 Pro (Build 26100)Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-G GAMING WIFIBIOS Version: 4101 (dated 03/12/2024)Processor: Intel Core i7-13700KGraphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (Driver 581.42, up to date)Memory: 64 GB DDR5

Are these BF6 system requirements enabled in Windows settings?
TPM 2.0 Enabled
UEFI SECURE BOOT Enabled
HVCI Enabled
VBS Enabled
HVCI, or Hypervisor-Protected Code Integrity, can be enabled in Windows by going to Settings > Privacy & security > Windows Security > Device security, clicking Core isolation details, and toggling the Memory Integrity switch to "On". A restart is required for the change to take effect. This security feature helps protect against malware by running kernel mode code integrity checks in a virtualized environment.
