Hey guys, thanks for chiming in on this. My friend helped me dig around for a solution and I tried this one (seemed like the easiest to start with at the time) and it worked for me. Although I don't know WHY it worked. I should point out that I did have a clean install of BFV on my Windows 11 PC. This may not be defined as a clean install after I describe this but here we go:
I had this game installed on this same PC earlier and it worked fine. I uninstalled it to make room for other games, and then a friend of mine wanted to get back into it. So I USED to have it on the PC at one point but did start with a new install after I had originally uninstalled it. Regardless, here are the steps that I took based on the link.
- Navigate to your user documents location.
- Locate the "Battlefield V" folder and open the folder
- Inside the folder you should see 4 file folders: "crash_dumps", "Screenshots", "settings", and "twinkle".
- Open each folder and delete ALL content inside those folders (but NOT the folders themselves)
- Don't know why, the link says delete anything that will allow you to delete it.
- Open and run the game and it should run fine
Again, I don't know WHY this happened to work for me and I want to point out that my PC allowed me to delete all files located in those folders but I was starting with a new install.

Sadly this doesnt work for me.
I have noticed it crashes based on time rather than where it is in the boot sequence. I have got as far as adjusting the brightness setting if I am quick it will get to the starting video , however if I just wait it will hard crash on the brightness selection.
Its doing this on all BF games so its not just on BFV. BF1 , BFV , BF6 beta, and 2042 all do same thing.
I have tried
- Safe boot , turning off all non windows services
- deleting all EA apps and reinstalling
- repairing game files
- deleteing anti cheat folder in program files
- deleting afterburner
- deleting all folders in documents relating to EA games
- removing my AMD overclock
- winding back nvidia drivers
NOTHING will solve this issue for me bar a reinstall of windows and frankly I am not doing that. I can state however this has been working perfectly up until a month or so ago. Its a problem with EA and not a problem with my setup.

This issue is caused by the NVIDIA driver, not my system or Windows.
All Battlefield games were working perfectly until I updated to NVIDIA driver version 580.88.
After the update, every Battlefield game crashes on startup.Rolling back to driver version 577.00 completely fixes the problem — the games launch and run normally again.
This is clearly a compatibility problem between the latest NVIDIA driver and Battlefield, not an issue with my hardware or OS.
