Battlefield 6 – Campaign crash on startup via EA play (DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG)

Hi,

I’m trying to launch the Battlefield 6 campaign, but the game crashes every single time during the initial loading screen. Multiplayer works, only the campaign fails when trying to play previous missions and changing difficulty.

I’m getting this error:

DirectX function "Hang Detected in waitForFrameFences. DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG (The GPU will not respond to more commands)

GPU: RTX 5080
Driver: 581.80
OS: Windows 11
Anti-virus disabled, overlays disabled, drivers updated, game repaired, PC rebooted. I9-13900, 64GB, game on NVMe.

What I’ve already tried (none of this helped):

Disabled all overlays (Steam/Discord/NVIDIA etc.)
Updated NVIDIA drivers to 581.80
Repaired the game files
Restarted the PC
Disabled antivirus
Tried fullscreen / borderless
Deleted the shader cache
Deleted HD textures
Forced ruinning on DX11
low latency mode is OFF
Disabled HAGS
I left a room and came back

Still crashing only when starting the campaign.

Questions

Is this a known problem on RTX 5080 / driver 581.80?

Can you provide a workaround until a patch is released?

Thanks in advance! I literally cannot start the campaign at all and would like to play it.
