Battlefield 6 DirectX crashes can only be a problem with the game engine.
Battlefield 6 is crashing with DirectX errors on a wide range of systems. This has been happening since release and appears related to the game engine under heavy load. It needs an official fix. Many players are reporting the same behavior across different hardware and drivers. Some players say that the problem appears to have existed since Battlefield 2042. I can't confirm that myself, as I haven't played BF2042 for very long. My system: - CPU: [I7 14700K] - GPU: [RTX 3090] - RAM: [DDR5/ 64gb / 6400mhz] - Storage: [M.2 SDD/NVme] - Motherboard and BIOS: [MSI Z790 Carbon WiFi/latest] - OS: Windows 11 [24H2] fully updated - Display: [1440P/ultrawide] - Driver: NVIDIA [latest] clean installed with DDU Error codes: - DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG - DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED What happens: - Crashes occur sporadically - Sometimes only the game and open Steam processes die (most in my Case) - Sometimes the entire PC reboots (for some players) - there is no consistent pattern by map or time into the match But there are repeated DirectX related crashes that are not fixed by normal maintenance or driver changes. Steps to reproduce: 1. Launch the game normally from Steam or EA App 2. Join RedSec or Conquest mode 3. Played it through heavy action for a few minutes to tens of minutes or Sometimes over one hours 4. Crash with one of the codes above Impact: - Progress and match results are broken - Time is wasted on failed troubleshooting - This affects many players, not isolated edge cases What I have already tried: (None of the following resolved the issue) - Drivers and OS: - Clean driver installs with DDU for multiple versions - Switching between Game Ready and Studio drivers - Windows updates and optional cumulative updates - Removing all overlays and capture tools - Graphics API and launch options: - Launching with -d3d11 - Disabling or enabling the different Anti-lag and upscaling ingame options. - Forcing different shader cache settings in the driver - BIOS and firmware: - Enabling and disabling Resizable BAR - Updating GPU VBIOS - Updating motherboard BIOS and chipset drivers - Power and stability: - Returning CPU and GPU to stock clocks - Disabling XMP or EXPO - Raising power limits or lowering them to stock - Checking PSU capacity and Performance - disable PCI-Express - Link State Power Management on Windows - set Windows PWR-Management to ultimate Performance - Game files and cache: - Verifying files via Steam - Reinstalling the game on a different drive - Deleting DX shader caches - switching Graphics settings - Dropping all settings Low - Disabling Anti-lag and upscalers - Reducing resolution to well below native - Frame cap on and off (ingame and rtss) - Vsync on and off - disable Freesync/gsync - Workarounds that are not solutions: - Artificially throttling performance to keep GPU load very low (this seems to be working) - Running windowed or borderless - (Not tested long enough yet) - Disabling all background apps and services - (Not tested long enough yet) Community signal: Multiple reports show the same DirectX crash codes and the same failure of the usual fixes. The scope appears broad across GPUs from different vendors, multiple driver lines, and fully updated Windows systems. -- All this points to an engine side stability issue under specific render or memory pressure conditions.-- What we need from EA and the dev team: Official acknowledgement that this is being tracked as a top priority and a targeted hotfix or a detailed workaround that does not **bleep** performance. If a driver side change is needed, coordinated guidance with NVIDIA and AMD. Optional: a temporary toggle to disable the specific feature set that triggers the crash. Clear communication on progress and an estimated timeline for a fix. This is blocking normal play for many of us. A stable fix would go a long way for the community. Thank you.
Stutters, hiccups , framedrops i found the cause!! Edit***
So after hours of testing today, I found the cause of stutters, frame drops, etc. It's the Javelin anti-cheat, which overloads one or two CPU cores when you press WASD, 1, 2, or 3, the enter button, or certain letters. The CPU core goes to 100%, and this results in stutters. It's affecting all Battlefield titles, so please fix this, Dice! Edit** I noticed that pressing certain keyboard keys (like number keys or arrow keys) causes noticeable micro-stutters in BF1, BFV, and BF6. FPS stays high, GPU load is fine, and CPU cores aren’t maxed. Mouse movement or clicks don’t trigger this. It seems to happen only with keys that change the game state (weapon switch, zeroing, gadgets). Rapidly pressing these keys makes spikes worse (dpc latency.) Shader cache warm-up reduces it slightly, and capping FPS also helps mask the spikes. From what I can tell, the cause is kernel-level anti-cheat checks (Javelin/EA AC) validating discrete input. These checks temporarily block the main game thread, which shows up as micro-stutter, even though CPU/GPU aren’t overloaded. This isn’t a hardware or driver issue—it’s a side effect of the anti-cheat + Frostbite engine. please fix this soon!
Apex Legends download from the EA app is bugged
https://forums.ea.com/discussions/ea-app-technical-issues-en/apex-installation-failed/12156125 I'm not the only person with this issue, and I posted the other forum post above. Seems like with the release of S25, Something is wrong with the installer. I do a fresh install of the game when a new update comes out because I've had some weird shader bugs in the past so now its just a habit with each release of a new season. This go round I and a few others have gotten a "The final stages of installation didn't go as planned." error message. I went through to do all suggested fixes and none of them worked. I just recently tried to install Sims and that, however, did work. So it seems to be an issue with downloading and installing Apex directly through the EA app. Info: Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor 4.70 GHz Installed RAM: 32.0 GB System type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Edition: Windows 11 Pro Version: 24H2 Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12GB Storage: 3.64TB
Apex Legends Event, Challenges, Passes, Legend locker, and Store not loading.
The whole top menu of Apex legends isn't loading for me, restarted my console, rebooted the game, switched servers, still the same issue, I noticed that I finished all the 7th anniversary badge challenges and didn't get any badges, also my prize tracker for the event is stuck even though I finished it 2 days ago, it hasn't reset the challenges or the dailies, this really sucks for me as I bought all the even packs except the last one because I saw it free in the tracker and decided it was worth waiting a day or two to save 10 dollars, but now it will t load either and I can't get my heirloom shards. I've talked to everal other people on this issue, and I believe the problem to be the legend pass I bought for octane, as other people I have talked to on the topic say that that is something they have noticed with this bug. I just got a 4k badge on octane and want to equip it but again I can't access my Legend Locker, the only solution I've seen so far is someone said you can change your resolution after every match, which sounds like a pain, especially on Xbox, but I'm gonna give that a try, lmk if anyone else found any fixes.
Game crashes upon death
Bug Report: Battlefield 2042 Crash on Death Animation So earlier today I started back playing Battlefield 2042 after not playing for about a year due to the new Dead Space collab with the new Outbreak mode. However, I'm having a serious issue where every time I die, right as the death animation starts to play, the game freezes and crashes immediately with no error message. This happens in all modes. I've looked online and seen others with similar issues. Some reported that deleting the cache folder for the game helped, but it was only a temporary fix — the issue returned within 30–45 minutes. Since deleting the folder didn’t help, I decided to reinstall the game, even though it’s large. Unfortunately, the problem got slightly worse: it started freezing even faster, sometimes before the death animation even starts. I then consulted ChatGPT, which recommended analyzing the crash dump file using a program called WinDbg. I did so, and shared the analysis with ChatGPT to interpret the results. ChatGPT Response Summary: Root Cause Summary: The crash was due to an Access Violation (0xC0000005) — specifically a read from a null or invalid pointer (0x0000000000000008). Crash Details: Module: amdxc64.dll (likely part of AMD graphics drivers) Function: Boost Serialization (boost::archive::detail::iserializer::load_object_data) Crash Reason: Attempted to read from RCX + 8, but RCX was NULL (0x0), leading to a crash. Contextual Clues: Crash occurred while BF2042.exe was running. Involves amdxc64.dll — a common AMD GPU driver library. Occurred during Boost serialization and DirectX 12 GPU pipeline operations. Likely Cause: A pointer used by the AMD graphics driver during deserialization or pipeline setup was NULL, causing the game to crash. So at this point, having done nearly every troubleshooting step and even running diagnostics with the help of ChatGPT, this is the closest I’ve gotten to an explanation. Hopefully someone from the developer team can help investigate further. And yes, before anyone asks — I did try switching the game to run in DirectX 11. The same issue persists. System Specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT RAM: 32 GB DDR4 OS: Windows 11 Home, 64-bit Driver Version: AMD Adrenalin – latest version as of May 2025 Troubleshooting Performed: Verified game files via Steam Reinstalled the game Updated GPU drivers to the latest AMD version Set game to run as administrator Disabled all overlays (Discord, Steam, Radeon) Disabled all background apps No overclocking is done on this system
Adjusting player socks bug
There is an issue in EA FC 26 that prevents users from adjusting sock length for Youth Academy players and players created through Create-a-Club mode. The sock length option appears to be locked or missing when editing these player types, while the setting works normally for standard players already in the game. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start a Career Mode. 2. Either: Promote a youth player from the Youth Academy, or Create a squad using Create-a-Club mode. 3. Go to Squad Hub → select the player → Edit Player 4. Navigate to Accessories. 5. Attempt to change Sock Length. Expected Result: The Sock Length option should be adjustable like it is for all other players. Actual Result: The Sock Length option is unavailable or locked for youth players and Create-a-Club generated players. This affects visual customization and consistency across the team. The issue occurs regardless of platform settings or gameplay mode progress. You'll also find shin pads are missing from youth players. Platform: PS5 @EA_Vendcera
Madden 25 team builder: Cannot download user made team, "Try again later" error.
Gonna try and post this every day so this gets traction. Seeing it start to pop up more and more and can see it's been a consistent problem for awhile. Cannot download created team from madden, try and try and just get try again later error. I've reset my internet, repaired the game, recreated the team and nothing. Hope ea can fix this because my buddies and I want to do a 15+ man fantasy draft create a team franchise and most of them don't have it yet. Missing out on dough because you're too lazy to fix something. 3/17/25
