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
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
Stuck on Connecting to Online Services
After the initial startup and the game pop up mentioning account linking, I click continue, and it's stuck on "Connecting to Online Services" Steps I've tried so far Restarted the Game Restarted PC Restarted Router and Modem Ran Ping Test and experiencing 0 packet loss Tried VIA WiFi and Hardwired Tried via a mobile hotspot with different internet connectiong. No dice.
My download is endlessly stuck on "preparing".
I've tried everything, cleaning the cache, redownloading the EA app, updating it, repairing it, freeing up memory. Anything I could think of (and what I was able to find on the internet). Nothing worked, I'm stuck, I recently wanted to get into the game again and now I'm not able toFresh install stuck on Download in Progress
I just installed the game on PS5 and when I launch the game it says “Download In Progress”. It’ll let me create a character but once I finish creating it pops and alert that asks me to “Please wait for installation to finish”. It’s been sitting for over an hour now with that message still spinning.
Can’t install Star Wars Battlefront II from Epic Games – EA App error
Hi everyone, I recently got Star Wars Battlefront II from the Epic Games Store, but I’m running into a problem when trying to install it. During the process, the EA App launches, but then I get this message: “There’s been an error. Try resetting your password and restarting your game.” I already tried resetting my EA password, restarting the EA App, and also restarting the Epic Games Launcher, but nothing works. The installation won’t continue. Has anyone else had this issue? Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks in advance for any help!
