BF1 Crashes with code 0xFFFFFFFF

Game detected an unexpected shutdown. If this happens repeatedly, please restart the game or contact EA Help. (0xFFFFFFFF)

I have already tried restarting my PC, uninstalling and reinstalling the game, and following the steps suggested by EA anti-cheat staff in other threads related to the 0xFFFFFFFF error—such as deleting the machine.ini file and the licence folder, as well as reinstalling the anti-cheat software. None of these have worked.

Other games like Battlefield V, Battlefield VI, Need for Speed Heat, and Titanfall 2 all launch and run without any issues. I am unable to find any working solution for this error on the forums, so I hope official support can help investigate. 

I purchased the game on June 21 and have only logged 26 minutes on Steam (according to Steam's playtime counter). To now, I have never successfully entered the game even once.

My system: Windows 11 Pro 24H2 x64, Intel i5-12400F, RTX 4060 8GB, 32GB RAM, DDR4, zh-CN.

    This is a Copilot search, did you see this one ?

     

    The error 0xFFFFFFFF usually indicates a system‑level crash (Kernel‑Power 41 / Event 6008) caused by power loss, overheating, unstable drivers, or corrupted system files, not the game itself. Checking Event Viewer, temperatures, PSU stability, and repairing Windows files (SFC/DISM) are the primary fixes.

    1. What the error means

    Games often show generic crash codes like 0xFFFFFFFF when Windows previously shut down improperly. Windows logs this as:

    • Event ID 6008 → unexpected shutdown
    • Event ID 41 (Kernel‑Power) → system lost power or crashed without clean shutdown

    This points to hardware instability, overheating, PSU issues, or driver faults rather than a game bug.

    I'm facing the exact same issue, no idea what's causing it. Tried every youtube video out there and used chatbots, no solution yet.
