BF1 occasionally freezes entire PC
As the title says, occasionally when I play BF1, the game slows down visibly almost to a freeze. This slowing down is applied to the entire computer, and actually closing the game doesn't resolve the issue. I have to reboot my entire PC for it to run normally again. It's not a big problem, as it occurs say only once a month, but it is odd. My PC's fans don't speed up, and BF1 is the only application this happens with. This and the fact that closing the game doesn't fix it, makes me think that it is anti-cheat related. Anybody out there with the same issue, and perhaps with a solution? My PC's specs are: CPU: AMD 7600x3D Mobo: MSI Tomahawk B650 DRAM: Corsair 32 GB 6000 Mhz DDR5 Expo GPU: RTX 5070 12GB (drivers up to date) PSU: NZXT gold 3.1 850W SSD: (2x) Samsung 990 Pro 1TB NVMe Display: (2x) 24" Iiyama 1080p OS: Windows 11 Home (& Linux Mint on 2nd NVMe), Secure Boot enabled on both OS'sBattlefield 1 crashing PC and causing driver corruption for AMD graphics card
In the title, any time I try to join a lobby of BF1, as soon as I get placed into the game, both of my screens go black, I get an error sound of some sort (but I can't see the error to tell what it is, I attached the Windows log from the crash), and I have to manually restart my PC. After restarting, my second monitor won't turn on because somehow Battlefield has caused the AMD drivers to corrupt, which leads to an infinite loop of installing AMD graphics, in which the only way to fix it is to go to AMD's website and manually download the correct drivers for my PC. After reinstalling the drivers, my PC goes back to normal. This only started happening after last week's update, which I presume was to update the anticheat in some way. I am using the most up to date drivers for AMD. System Specs: Ryzen 5 7600x3d Ryzen RX 7900XT 32GB Gskill FlareX5 6000Mhz Any help would be appreciated. I saw someone else posted about this on the BF1 Reddit, just wanted to get the word out about this issue.False PunkBuster GUID Global Ban after 3 years of absence (BF3 & BF4)
Hello EA Community and Support Team, I am writing this post because I am completely at a loss and need some advice or help from the Community Managers. I haven't played the game in about 3 years. Recently, I wanted to jump back in for a round of Battlefield, only to find out that I have received a global GUID ban from PunkBuster that affects both Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 on my account. I have been playing shooter games for as long as they exist and I have never used a cheat in my life. In fact, I have a long history in the community and used to be an admin on some of the most well-known servers across multiple games, including official admin duties for Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4. My stats are completely transparent. I have played over 7,800 hours in BF3 and more than 1,000 hours in BF4 without a single issue. My BF4DB profile is 100% clean with a 0% cheat score. Account Details: In-Game Name: Pr-Guard GUID: 5b8eff45 BF4DB Profile: https://bf4db.com/player/522373658 Since I am completely clueless about what caused this, I can only guess that it might be a false positive related to the official software/driver for my Patriot "Viper Gaming Mouse" which I installed after freshly reinstalling my Windows 10 OS. However, this is pure speculation on my part as I am completely at a loss. I have already tried to submit a ticket to Even Balance, but they are completely unresponsive. Is there any way an EA Community Manager can forward this case or pass my clean history to Even Balance? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Pr-Guard104Views0likes3Comments[[[Please Fix BF1 Conquest So We Can Play The Way We Deserve]]]
Iv been playing Battlefield 1 sence release date and took only 3 years worth of a break because conquest lobbies were not poping up and i returned last week and [STILL] there are barely any conquest lobbies, and as i write this there are 0 conquest lobbies for the past 2 days. I feel like EA doesnt care about us bf1 conquest enthusiasts or haven't for what feels like too long. please fix it...some of us built our 40k+ streaming career from playing ONLY conquest mode. Sincerely, my heart is crying at age 26 [Edit: All caps removed from title - ElliotLH]Lost connection to EA servers error AND Multiplayer installation stuck at 0%
My friend and I recently purchased a physical copy of BF1 for PS4 from CeX for nostalgias sake. I have been relentlessly attempting to get this game to work but for over 2 weeks now I cannot get past the "You have lost connection to EA Servers" error and when I press to go online it just says connecting and then shows the same error again. Furthermore, multiplayer will simply not install. I have spent the past two weeks troubleshooting and browsing these forums. I have changed my DNS multiple times, we just had new WiFi installed, I've checked my NAT type which is Type 2. I've deleted and re-installed the game countless times, I managed to start installing multiplayer immediately after re-installation but when it gets near to completing it crashes and then goes back to 0%. I've checked the PS4 servers for BF1 and they're still online. We also bought BF4 which works completely fine. I've attempted to get in touch with an EA Advisor but it seems like I'm searching for a mythical beast that doesn't actually exist. Please for the love of all that is holy can someone help me out without directing me to the troubleshooting tips page that I've memorised at this point. Thanks.Servers lagging
Fix your servers! We pay for a service that is not properly returned.Everybody in lobby get high ping then lose connection.All started to happen after your last amazing update.We're sick of trying to get people back in servers every few hours cause you can't provide what you're paid for.542Views29likes22CommentsBattlefield 4 in 2026?
Hey! I want to buy and play Battlefield 4 on Steam but I don't know if I should. I'm from Asia, and I heard there were server issues. I checked and saw I had 160-180ms (sometimes even 155ms on a good day!) So, should I? Any fixes, tips, or something you guys got for me? It would be greatly appreciated! (If all goes wrong I'm buying Battlefield 1 instead)Solved1.6KViews2likes16CommentsNeed help to setup so I can play BF2 again like back in 2005
Hey! Im wondering if there is anyone here who can help me to be able to play BF2 again like we did when it came out. I have a CDKEY, I know I need to have BF2hub and the right patches ect, but when I did all that and tried to play an online game, i just got disconncted pretty fast and the game closed. And according to BF2Hub, it said I didnt have a CDKEY registerd. But the problem is, I have ZERO clue what to do haha. I have watched many diffrent YT videos of guides how to do it, but it never ends up working. Thanks a lot in advance! // PelleSolved
