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: 3.64TBMadden 26 is in need of a MASSIVE UPDATE!
How can you release an unfinished game especially 7 days early? Superstar mode is a huge letdown! I need to be able to see season stats, contracts, awards/progress rankings, news articles etc… basically everything that’s been in the mode for years. If you add all that back and fix the buggy sphere of influence then the game would be decent. Y'all literally make this mode like we are gonna just play a couple of seasons and be done. I like to play my career until the end and it seems like over the years of Madden after you get through your 1st or 2nd season everything gets real glitchy. No more interactions and if there are it’s the same interactions every in game year. Now let’s talk about in game sights, sounds and pageantry. I’m a packers fan and let’s just say the sounds of Lambeau Field are very inaccurate. Where is the Go Pack Go chants with the packers theme music playing throughout the stadium? Where’s the fireworks and cell phone lights/light shows during pregame entrance? Also when you run out for the first snap all it shows is what round and pick you were drafted. I want to see updated season stats showing what kind of season you are having etc.. It would also be nice if we can get the Lambeau Leap put in the game as a celebration. I will not be buying another Madden, because y'all do the bare minimum and every year there are so many issues, but especially this year yall really dropped the ball.
