BF6 cannot launch on some AMD mobile GPUs (RX6800M) - driver detection problem

Please help me bring some attention from EA or AMD to this issue. This is a bug that has not been fixed since game launch. We are now late March, almost April 2026. This bug prevents users from playing BF6. Not sure if EA or AMD has to review this. This applies to AMD mobile (laptop dedicated GPUs). A temporary fix is included down below.

Please help me bring some attention from EA or AMD to this issue. Any vote is appreciated.

The Problem: Battlefield 6 is detecting the wrong GPU driver. Even though your main GPU (RX 6800M) is updated, the game is reading the driver version of your Internal Processor Graphics (iGPU). Perhaps Windows Update often forcibly downgrades the iGPU driver to an older version (23.19.x), causing this mismatch error.

Detailed pop-up message:

Please update your AMD Radeon driver

Detected AMD Radeon driver version 23.19.24.0. The required driver version is 25.10.25.1 or later. Please update your drivers at http://www.amd.com/ before playing the game.

The Fix: You need to "spoof" the version number in the registry so the game sees the correct version and launches.

1. Open Regedit

2. Navigate to

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video\{B1E7C0AD-2AE9-11F1-8B19-BD6702B5743D}\0000 (your path might be different)

3. Scroll down until you see DriverDesc, verify it states AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics

4. Afterward, keep scrolling down to ReleaseVersion, double click to edit, then change it to 25.10.25.1 (no need to put the rest, just 25.10.25.1 is fine)

Hardware used to obtain this bug: ASUS ROG Strix G513QY

This specific laptop does not have a MUX switch, so everything goes via the iGPU first. Even when using an external monitor via HDMI. Some people reported that using the USB-C (DP) with an adapter bypasses the Radeon iGPU.

Of course, this was tested with a complete clean install of Windows 11 and the latest AMD mobile drivers as of March 28, 2026 for the AMD RX6800M.

AMD Radeon iGPU driver version:

23.19.24-251211a-197843C-AMD-Software-Adrenalin-Edition (problem is that it reads this one)

AMD Radeon RX 6800M driver version:

25.10.43.05-260303a-198974C-AMD-Software-Adrenalin-Edition (should be reading this one)
