Reproducible Crash Report (Access Violation in Frostbite/Denuvo/NGX Path)
Summary: Battlefield 2042 is consistently crashing with 0xC0000005 (Access Violation) inside BF2042!isGlimpseEnabled, attempting to read from 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. The crash reproduces both with and without Application Verifier enabled, indicating a deterministic game‑side bug rather than a random hardware or OS fault. 1. Crash Metadata Field Value Process BF2042.exe Image Version 1.0.376.18289 OS Windows 11 24H2 (Kernel version 10.0.26100.4946, ge_release) Exception Code 0xC0000005 — Invalid Pointer Read Faulting Address 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF Faulting Instruction cmp byte ptr [rdi+58h],0 Function BF2042!isGlimpseEnabled+0xAD9582 Application Verifier Enabled in one dump (APPLICATION_VERIFIER_LOADED: 1) Failure Buckets Without AVRF: INVALID_POINTER_READ_c0000005_BF2042.exe!Unknown<br>With AVRF: INVALID_POINTER_READ_AVRF_c0000005_BF2042.exe!Unknown Failure Hashes {701deb8c-…} (non‑AVRF) and {9a0b6283-…} (AVRF) 2. Call Chain (Both Dumps) BF2042!isGlimpseEnabled → NVSDK_NGX_D3D12_Shutdown1 → GetDenuvoTimeTicketRequest → flite_lang_list → ucrtbase!thread_start → kernel32!BaseThreadInitThunk → ntdll!RtlUserThreadStart Notable: Crash occurs during or after NVIDIA NGX (DLSS) shutdown, in a path that also calls into Denuvo DRM routines. The pointer being dereferenced appears to be invalid or freed, suggesting a use‑after‑free or uninitialized object in Frostbite’s shutdown/DRM handshake logic. 3. Reproduction Notes Occurs mid‑session or during shutdown of certain in‑game features. Reproduces across multiple AMD GPU driver versions and install modes. Shader caches cleared at both game and driver level. Overlays and third‑party hooks disabled. System stable under other DX12 titles. App Verifier presence does not change crash location — only the bucket signature. 4. Attachments CrashDump_2025.09.01_22.21.30.193.mdmp (AVRF enabled) CrashDump_2025.09.01_22.21.30.193_nonAVRF.mdmp (standard runtime) Multiple other .mdmp files from prior sessions showing identical call chain and failure hash. 5. Developer Impact The presence of two dumps from the same crash moment — one with AVRF instrumentation — provides a clear, reproducible pointer dereference path. This should allow engineers to inspect the isGlimpseEnabled object lifecycle and its interaction with NGX/Denuvo shutdown. 6. Environment & Hardware Specs OS: Windows 11 Pro 24H2 – Build 26100.4946 CPU: Intel Core i7‑12700 GPU: XFX MERC 6650 XT (AMD RDNA2) PSU: Cooler Master 750W Platinum RAM: 64 GB (4×16 GB) Kingston HyperX DDR4‑3200 CL16, XMP enabled Storage: NVMe SSD (OS + Game) Cooling: Adequate, temps stable under load (GPU ~70 °C, CPU ~65 °C at crash) 7. GPU Driver Testing Matrix Driver Version Install Mode DDU Safe‑Mode Uninstall Before Install Adrenalin Software Installed Overlays/3rd‑Party Apps Disabled 25.8.1 Driver‑only ✅ ❌ ✅ 25.8.1 Normal ✅ ✅ ✅ 24.8.1 Driver‑only ✅ ❌ ✅ Notes: All installs were preceded by a full DDU cleanup in Windows Safe Mode. All overlay tools (Discord, Steam, EA App, Radeon Overlay, etc.) and background apps were disabled during testing. Crash reproduced identically in all driver/mode combinations. 8. Graphics Settings Testing Tested all settings at Low with Future Frame Rendering and Dynamic Resolution Scale both off and on — crash still occurs. Tested custom mix of High/Medium/Low settings — crash still occurs. Changing graphics quality or toggling these features has no impact on crash frequency or call chain.
Battlefield 2042 Launch Error
Every time I launch BF 2042 from steam where I own the game it. The EA app gives me this error message: "We've noticed your computer is currently offline. To activate your game on this computer using your EA Account, you'll need to connect to the internet. " I am not sure what to do nothing seems to fix this issue. I own the game and I am connected to the internet. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Was hoping to play some more battlefield leading up to the BF 6 release. I have added a screenshot of what the error message looks like after I launch the game.Battlefield 2042 Javelin Error and BSOD Errors
Hey Everyone, So, I have ran into an issue with Battlefield 2042. I am constantly getting Javelin Error on startup of the game, and I am also getting BSOD errors as well (I attached pictures as reference as well, no including another BSOD error I got which is "KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED"). I have been using CHATGPT (not sure if that is okay to use or not) for assistance on all of this for the past 2 days now and none of the "potential" fixes it gave me have worked so far. The stuff ChatGPT told me to try as "potential" fixes are listed below, not in sequential order: Repair Battlefield 2042 via EA App (I've done it multiple times already) Clean Install of NVIDIA drivers utilizing DDU for uninstall and performing a clean install of the drivers downloaded from the NVIDIA website (Done this multiple times as well) Performed DirectX runtime installer (I also added -dx11 to the game properties of Battlefield 2042 in the EA app to see if the game would work with running DirectX11 instead of 12, did not work) Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (Downloaded and ran both VC_redist.x64 and VC_redist.x86 Windows Clean Boot Test (everything came back clean) Event Viewer Check (What was found was a Windows Error Reporting // Fault Bucket: 186196992722228877, type 5 // Event Name: RADAR_PRE_LEAK_66 // Problem Signature: P1: BF2042.exe, P2: 1.0.62.2920, P3: 10.0.26120.0) Uninstalled and reinstalled EA Anti-Cheat (done this multiple times to include fully wiping it from my PC) Set Battlefield 2042.exe and the EA App to run as Administrator Uninstalled and reinstalled Battlefield 2042 Disabled and Enables Secure Boot within BIOS Uninstalled completely from my PC the Battlefield 6 Beta Check for Windows Updates Installed all update to date drivers off the MSI website for my motherboard So far none of these have worked, I am currently at a lost on what can be done at this point. The game was working for me for the past 2 weeks with no issues at all, I am now SOL on what to do. Has anyone else encountered an issue like this before and might know a possible fix. I would greatly appreciate the help. Below are my PC specs as well: PC: iBuyPower Y40 IPB OS Name: Microsoft Windows 11 Home Version: 10.0.26100 Build 26100 System Manufacturer: MSI System Model/BaseBoard Product: MS-7E06 / PRO Z790-P WIFI Processor (CPU): Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-14900KF, 3200 Mhz, 24 Core(s), 32 Logical Processor(s) BIOS: MSI CLICK BIOS 5 BIOS Version/Date: American Megatrends International, LLC.

Feedback on Battlefield 2042 – Road to Battlefield 6 & Optimization
Hi Battlefield team, I would like to share more detailed feedback about Battlefield 2042. The new Battle Pass Road to Battlefield 6 is excellent. The 60 levels feel fresh and creative, full of references, jokes, and skins that really fit the Battlefield style. It’s fun to progress through and discover the details — thank you for this creative work! With my friends, we are also completing the Phantom Program secret operation. Hidden content like this really motivates us to stay engaged, and we are excited for the reveal. If it connects to a robot-themed mini-event, that would be amazing and very unique for Battlefield. Surprises like this keep the game alive and interesting. At the same time, I hope Battlefield 2042 will continue to receive support. Even small updates, balance patches, or extra events would mean a lot to players. Many of us are still enjoying the game and want to see it stay active until the next Battlefield arrives. One critical issue is performance. On my PC (RTX 3070 Palit, i5-12400F, 32GB RAM), the CPU runs at 100% load both in-game and even in the menu, which causes noticeably high temperatures. My friend with an MSI RTX 4060, i9 9th Gen, 16GB single-channel RAM also experiences high CPU usage. Another friend with a GTX 1050 Ti, i5 10th Gen, and 16GB RAM has the same problem. This shows the issue is not limited to one configuration — optimization is really needed across different setups. Once again, thank you for the creativity and for keeping Battlefield alive. The Road to Battlefield 6 pass was a great addition, and we hope the game continues to improve with better performance and a few more updates.

TPM 2.0 check, Safe boot check, drivers check. When pressing start on steam, the small window pops up, then goes away and steam stops running it, I know others are having this issue, but putting it out there to gather more attention for it CM edit: edited title for clarity.
90% GPU load on a starting screen and in the menu with 240 FPS QHD on 4080super
Why is GPU load on a starting screen and in the menu so insanely high? Though, I've got an RTX4080 super and play in QHD, I've got 90% GPU load before the game actually started (with fixed 240 FPS global setting in my Nvidia app). I tried to switch from Steam to EA app back and forth and the GPU load was the same anyway. Since I've got about 165-170 FPS in the game, I fixed the FPS to 160 in the graphics settings. Then the GPU load in the menu and on a starting screen dropped to 55% , which I believe is still too much for an 4080 Super and the game needs more work on optimisation.Game crashes/won't launch
Played 1 match so far today and game was super laggy with constant fps drops (below 40) when I average 100+. Read through all posts on the forum and followed each recommended fix with no luck. Now the game won't start after I tried restarting game to fix fps issue (Didn't have other apps or software running while playing) What I've Done: Repaired game files on steam Checked install for anti cheat and repaired it Checked current windows 11 update Disabled Radeon Anti-Lag in AMD app Restarted computer Restarted EA app and recovered itFailure to Launch BF 2042
