Battlefield 6 Crashing on PC: Possible Fixes Explored

Here are a few remedies for Battlefield 6 crashing on PC, potentially due to Secure Boot, drivers, Anticheat, and more.

Battlefield 6’s open beta has seen a massive number of players flock to the game and test out this latest iteration. Although this is the beta phase, the game is well optimized and outputs a decent performance in most cases. However, you might run into the Battlefield 6 crashing on your PC error every once in a while. According to research, these crashes can occur due to various scenarios, including anti-cheat, GPU drivers, corrupted files, and more.

Although no official fix exists, there are some methods that you can use to possibly fix the Battlefield 6 crashing on PC error. In this article, we will explore these fixes and also look at the reasons that might potentially lead to these unwanted PC crashes.

Note: These fixes are not official and might not work for everyone. That said, they are worth a try.

Possible Fixes For Battlefield 6 Crashing on PC

Here are some of the methods that can possibly fix Battlefield 6 crashing on your PC:

• Ensure you have secure boot turned on.
• Disable Windows Memory Protection.
• AMD GPU Driver Fix (using Registry Editor)
• Update your Graphics Driver.

Here is a more detailed explanation of each of the fixes mentioned above:

Ensure You Have Secure Boot Turned On (Critical System Requirements)

Before beginning this guide, you need to ensure that your PC supports Secure Boot and that it’s enabled on your system. You can check this by using the system information tool. Under System Summary, it should say Secure Boot – On, which means it’s enabled. Otherwise, the game won’t start.

If you are using a modern PC, say Ryzen 3000 Series or UP. Then, do the following steps to enable Secure Boot.

1. Restart your PC and enter BIOS (usually F2, Delete, or F10 during startup).
2. Navigate to Boot or Security settings.
3. Enable Secure Boot.
4. Ensure Boot Mode is set to UEFI (not Legacy).
5. Save and exit BIOS.

It’s better to watch videos of your motherboard’s BIOS for a more accurate procedure. The steps above are core fundamentals and will be more or less the same across different contexts.

Disable Windows Memory Protection

EA uses Javelin Ant-Cheat, a kernel-level solution that works similarly to Riot’s Vanguard. And for that, Windows Memory Protection can get in the way and cause your Battlefield 6 to crash on PC. Simply disable Windows memory protection, and then try launching the game. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Open Windows Security > App & Browser Control.
2. Click “Exploit protection settings”.
3. Go to Program settings > “Add a program to customize”.
4. Navigate to your Battlefield 6 installation folder and select bf6event.exe
5. Override all system settings and set them to OFF:
   • Randomize Memory Allocations (Bottom-up ASLR) – Set to OFF
   • Control Flow Guard – Set to OFF
   • Data Execution Prevention – Set to OFF
   • All other exploit protection settings – Set to OFF

Apply the changes, run the game, and see how things turn out.

AMD GPU Driver Fix (Using Registry Editor)

BF6 OPEN BETA DRIVER ERROR FIX

As per Reddit, AMD GPU users encounter driver version errors because Battlefield 6 requires a specific 25.10.13.1 version, which doesn’t exist. To solve this, you will need to manually edit the registry. Note that this is an advanced solution and you need to exercise proper caution before doing it.

Here are the steps to solve this issue:

1. On your Windows Search Bar, type regedit and press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
2. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video
3. Look for folders ending with \0000
4. Create a backup first
5. Find the ReleaseVersion entry and change the value to: 25.10.13.1
6. Save and restart the PC

After that, you should be able to play the game, provided you have Secure Boot enabled. 

Graphics Driver Updates

Outdated graphics drivers can also be a potential cause for Battlefield 6 crashing on PC. In most cases, graphics card companies release new software update during a game’s launch that contains optimization features. In some critical cases, your PC might crash without these optimized settings on your graphics firmware.

To solve this, ensure you have the latest Game Ready drivers from NVIDIA and AMD’s websites. Use Display Driver Uninstaller to fully uninstall the drivers, clean up residuals perfectly, and then install the downloaded up-to-date drivers.

Verdict

After you take care of these aspects, such as GPU Drivers, Secure Boot, and Memory protection, you technically should be up and running. If not, try verifying the integrity of your game files, which should automatically fix any internal files that have gotten corrupted. As for Redistribuables or VC++ Runtimes, your game launcher automatically installs the required ones from the very beginning, eliminating the hassle of redownloading and reinstalling.
