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.

Battlefield 6: Exploring Crash Fixes

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. So, disable Windows memory protection, and then try launching the game. If it doesn’t, then this was not the issue.

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

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.

How to fix?

Open Registry Editor (regedit)

  1. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video
  2. Look for folders ending with \0000
  3. Create a backup first
  4. Find the ReleaseVersion entry and change the value to: 25.10.13.1
  5. Save and restart the PC

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

Graphics Driver Updates

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.
