How to Fix Battlefield 6 Game Crashes

The highly anticipated Battlefield 6 has arrived, bringing more realistic battlefields, superior graphics, and richer content, making every match with dozens of players even more intense and thrilling. Many players in the beta test praised the game's excellent optimization, stating that even mid-range PCs can run it smoothly. However, numerous players have also reported issues like game crashes and sudden exits. So today, we'll explore the reasons behind Battlefield 6 crashes and possible solutions.

 

 

Why Does Battlefield 6 Keep Crashing?

 

Typically, Battlefield 6 crashes can occur either during game startup or mid-match, with no fixed pattern. Even if your previous session crashed only after entering a match, the next crash might happen during startup. Most of the time, there are no error messages—the game simply closes automatically, returning you to the desktop. Based on player feedback, we've identified the following potential causes for Battlefield 6 crashes:

 

• Insufficient Virtual Memory Allocation - Battlefield 6 exhibits continuous memory accumulation without automatic release, eventually causing crashes.
• CPU Performance Defects - Certain processor models have confirmed hardware limitations (e.g., Intel's acknowledged stability issues with 13th/14th Gen 700-series and above CPUs).
• Inadequate Hardware Specifications - System components failing to meet the game's performance demands.
• Excessive Background Process Interference - Resource contention from non-essential background applications.
• Driver Issues - Outdated drivers may cause game crashes

 

 

How to Fix Crash Issues?

 

It should first be noted that everyone's system configuration is different, so the cause of crashes may vary. The following methods may not work for everyone, and since EA has not provided an official explanation, we can only try them one by one.

 

1. Check System Requirements

 

First, you need to confirm whether your PC configuration meets the official requirements. We recommend using the recommended specifications, as this ensures greater performance headroom and a smoother experience.

Critical: DirectX 12 is required for proper functionality.

 

2. Update Graphics Drivers

 

For NVIDIA Graphics Cards:

• Download the latest driver from NVIDIA's website.
• Run the installer and select "Express Installation" (recommended).
• Restart your PC after installation completes.

For AMD Graphics Cards:

• Download the latest driver from AMD's website.
• Run the installer and choose "Full Installation" (default option).
• Restart your PC to apply changes.

 

3. Increase Virtual Memory

 

During the beta test, memory leaks were observed, so increasing virtual memory can help mitigate crash issues.

Open System Settings

• Press Win + R, type sysdm.cpl, then press Enter.

Go to Advanced System Settings

• Click the "Advanced" tab → Under Performance, click "Settings...".

Open Virtual Memory Settings

• Go to the "Advanced" tab → Click "Change..." under Virtual Memory.

Set Custom Virtual Memory (Paging File)

• Uncheck "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives".
• Select your Windows drive (usually C:).
• Choose "Custom size" and enter:
• Initial size (MB): At least 4096 (for 4GB) or 5120 (for 5GB).
• Maximum size (MB): Same or higher value.
• Click "Set" → OK.

Restart Your PC

• Changes take effect after reboot.

 

4. Reduce CPU Voltage (Risky)

 

*This involves BIOS/UEFI settings and carries risks like system instability or crashes. Not recommended for beginners.  

 

Enter BIOS/UEFI

• Restart PC → Press Del/F2/F12 (varies by motherboard) during boot.

Find Voltage Settings

• Look for "CPU VCore" or "CPU Voltage" (usually under Overclocking or Advanced CPU Settings).

Reduce Voltage

• Change from "Auto" to "Offset Mode" (or "Manual").
• Set an offset of "-0.1V" (e.g., if default is 1.3V → 1.2V).

Save & Exit

• Press F10 to save → Reboot.

 

5. Disable Memory Overclocking

 

For XMP (Intel/AMD) or DOCP (AMD) Profiles:

Enter BIOS/UEFI

• Restart PC → Press Del/F2/F12 (varies by motherboard) during boot.

Find XMP/DOCP Setting

• Navigate to "AI Tweaker" (ASUS), "OC Tweaker" (ASRock), or "Overclocking" (MSI/Gigabyte).
• Look for "XMP Profile" (Intel) or "DOCP" (AMD).

Disable XMP/DOCP

• Change from "Profile 1/2" to "Disabled".

Save & Exit

• Press F10 → Yes to save and reboot.

 

For Non-XMP Memory (Manual Overclocked RAM):

Enter BIOS/UEFI (same method as above).

Reset to Default

• Find "Load Optimized Defaults" (or similar) → Confirm.
• Or manually set:
• DRAM Frequency: Change to JEDEC standard (e.g., 2133/2400/2666MHz).
• DRAM Voltage: Set to 1.2V (DDR4) or 1.1V (DDR5).

Save & Exit (F10).

 

6. Close Background Applications

 

Open Task Manager

• Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc (or Ctrl + Alt + Del → Select Task Manager).

Identify & Close Unnecessary Apps

• Go to the "Processes" tab.
• Sort by "CPU" or "Memory" usage to find resource-heavy programs.
• Right-click unwanted apps → Select "End task".

Disable Startup Programs (Optional)

• Switch to the "Startup" tab.
• Right-click unnecessary apps → Choose "Disable" to stop auto-launching.

 

 

Don't Ignore Battlefield 6's Network Issues

 

After resolving game crashes, high ping and latency issues in Battlefield 6 may still trouble you. You can use GearUP to address these connection anomalies. It employs intelligent multi-path routing technology, requiring no manual network configuration or ISP switching. GearUP automatically routes traffic through the optimal node in real-time, ensuring stable server connections and reducing in-game ping. Additionally, GearUP offers a Secure Boot check to quickly verify whether your system can run Battlefield 6 properly.

 

Conclusion

 

In summary, due to differences in each player's situation, there is currently no definitive solution for Battlefield 6 crashes. The methods mentioned above require players to experiment based on their specific circumstances. We hope every player can enjoy a smooth gaming experience.
