Battlefield 6 freezes the entire Windows system
Hello Battlefield Support, Battlefield 6 repeatedly causes a severe full-system freeze on my MSI Vector 16 HX AI A2XWIG. This is not a normal crash to desktop: the game first drops to only a few (2-6) FPS, then the entire Windows interface becomes unresponsive. The computer may remain in this state for several minutes before recovering, or it has to be restarted. System configuration: Laptop: MSI Vector 16 HX AI A2XWIG CPU: Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU, 16 GB Operating system: Windows 11 NVIDIA Game Ready Driver: 621.01 WHQL BIOS: E15M3IMS.118 Platform: Steam Graphics settings: Overkill preset (Any) Resolution: 2560 × 1440 Frame Generation: Off Ray Tracing: Off Incident: The problem occurs only in Battlefield 6. I have not observed the same behavior in other demanding games. HWiNFO evidence from the Battlefield 6 session (LOG1.CSV): Immediately before the freeze, at 21:57:06, the GPU was running at approximately 2377 MHz and consuming 146 W. At 21:57:10, the GPU clock suddenly dropped to approximately 180 MHz and power fell to 35.7 W. HWiNFO then stopped recording normally for 108.4 seconds. This was followed by additional logging gaps of approximately 71.1 and 62.6 seconds, confirming that the entire Windows system was unresponsive rather than only the game. The PCIe Recovery Count increased from 188 before the freeze to 191 during the incident. Maximum recorded temperatures were: CPU: 104°C GPU: 87.6°C GPU hotspot: 92.7°C GPU memory: 87°C Comparison test: I tested the latest Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 (Or Any Other game) using the same 2560 × 1440 resolution, Ultra graphics preset, Frame Generation disabled and Ray Tracing disabled (LOG2.CSV). Call of Duty remained completely stable for more than 16 minutes (Several Hours) despite placing an equal or greater load on the laptop: Average GPU load: approximately 95% Peak GPU power: approximately 197 W Maximum GPU temperature: 87.8°C Maximum CPU temperature: 104°C Maximum HWiNFO logging interval: approximately 1.25 seconds PCIe Recovery Count remained unchanged throughout the test Battlefield 6 therefore freezes even though the comparison game remains stable at practically identical temperatures and higher GPU load and peak power. This makes a general thermal or power limitation less likely. The sudden loss of GPU clock and power, long system-wide logging interruptions, and increase in the PCIe Recovery Count suggest a possible Battlefield 6/Frostbite/DirectX 12 interaction with the NVIDIA driver, leading to a GPU timeout or recovery event. Windows also recorded a LiveKernelEvent 141 on the same day, although I cannot confirm that the available entry corresponds to the exact 21:57 incident. I did not capture a normal Battlefield 6 APPCRASH or AppHang entry because Windows itself became unresponsive. Please escalate this as a full-system GPU hang rather than a standard application crash. Thank you.
Kicked due to inactivity redsec
I was sitting in the chopper, as a premade group, meaning we were four who had queued together in ranked redsec. I was browsing the wepons and attatchments and when the match then is about to start I got kicked due to inactivity. That makes perfect sense (SARCASM). Not sure if I lost any points, I at least didnt get matchmaking time penalty. Hope this will get looked into and any potential point lost gets reimbursed or restored. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
gun jammed
why is it when i shoot at certain players my gun fires 1 bullet and stops, or during sustained fire it'll stop firing halfway through the mag? i've tested it on all of the other modes and it hasn't happened once. it ONLY happens in the battle royale modes. i've built up a reflex of flicking my reticle off target and back on because it's the only thing that fixes the issue. also, it only happens in close range fights(10meteres or less) unless i'm using a sniper rifles. with sniper rifles it fires normally but will not zoom in if my reticle is on the players model. i have to again flick my reticle away from the player model and then zoom in and flick back on, so i don't use snipers anymore. from everything i've learned and experienced, it's tied to the reticle being on the player model and the only thing to reset it is to move your reticle off of the player model and back on. yes i have reinstalled and multiple times now have reset my settings because that is the only info i've been able to find. no i'm not forgetting to reload and no i'm not accidentally putting the rifle into semi. there's a reload bug too. it might look reloaded, you didn't swap and the animation played all the way through, but it isn't.
BF6 PS5 Online Multiplayer Fails to Load
I've been unable to load any online multiplayer games on BF6 from my PS5. I click to join a game (i.e. breakthrough), the screen goes blank then the BF6 loading screen pops up and returns to the menu without an error message. I have also completed the following trouble shooting: Disabled crossplay Deleted then reinstalled the whole game and add ons. Deleted my local PS5 cache from safe mode Changed my automatic DNS to manual 8.8.8.8 etc Checked for updates Restored my licences Turned the router on and off LOL Followed all of the instructions from EA support. They have logged a ticket as their solutions did not help and they acknowledged this is a bug. The only thing I have found that worked for 1 day was to unlink and relink my ea account from my PS5. The next day, once again, Im unable to play online. There is a 1 year cooldown on unlinking and relinking your ea account to PlayStation and support would not allow me to do it again. FC26 works online just fine. This only seems to effect BF6. I can play BF6 offline though I just cba for campaign. Has anyone else encounter this issue and have a solution?
Battlefield 6 Portal hard crash for clients
Because the game does not come in with a built in FFA (Free For All) gamemode, I setup a squad deathmatch for myself and friends to play, having 4 teams of 2. This is concept works well, and has been tested up to 4 irl players (backfilled with bots). However when we wanted a full lobby.....when the host was organizing the teams in the lobby (as it does not auto assign teams). When assigning any more than 4 players, it hard crashes their game to desktop. The gamemode itself is good for 8 people, but only 4 can play it. When myself as host assigned player #5 and so forth, it hard crashed that person to desktop when the host (myself) assigned them to a team. This can be recreated with anyone from the dev team should you wish to see it. The portal is stupid, it's unstable and does not work in the ways that it should. Bring out an FFA gamemode, or at least fix the gamemodes that's already implemented into the game, BF 2042 works 100%, so why not this game?
