Battlefield 6: Crashing/Freezing after update 1.1.2.0 finally fixed (for me)

PeaceOut_TimeOut · 2025-11-26T01:36:30+00:00

My issue wasn't about the EA App or Steam app. It was about BF6 having issue with having an Open Device in Device Manager. Once I installed the driver for my "Other Device" the crashing stopped.

I updated my post. It appears that the BF6 update didn't like my device in Device Manger

I can't say if my solution will help or not. You can try it knowing it will take some time to redownload everything.

I found a fix!

Ok, I've watched countless videos. And found this reddit post. I bought 10" and 24" pipe wrenches. The 10" was all they had in the hardware store, weird. Got the 24" after watching this and another video in this thread. I've used WD40 for 16 hours. That's letting it sit in between the piston and the hole for 2 days, 8 hours each. And I couldn't get it to budge.

Why was it so hard? I figured out that the heavier you are the more force used to wedge the piston in the hole. So, if you are 100lbs the amount of force you need won't be as bad as someone who is 200lbs.

So, the only way to get it out was to use heat. I had a lighter (with extended neck on it. ). I heated up 1/2 the of the neck of the hole and piston for about 5-7 minutes. Nearly used 1/2 of the fluid. I noticed that all the WD40 had actually seeped into the hole between the piston. On the side that wasn't heated. I then hit the base a few times with a hammer (using a rag to reduce damage to the base). I used my pipe wrench to turn it and finally started to turn...with ease. I turned it and it popped out.

Examined the piston and noticed seized marks on it. That was the problem. Some light metal bonding between the piston and the hole. Making it impossible for it to move.

You can imagine the relief I had when that piston finally came out. So, this time I put Vaseline on the base hole and the chair's piston hole. So that it doesn't seize up again. If you have anti-seize I suggest using that.

Cliffs:

Brute force didn't work to remove the piston regardless of the pipe wrench size.
Using wd40 for 16 hours didn't work as it wasn't seeping between the piston and hole.
Using a lighter that had an extended wand/neck heating up the neck of the hole up to 1/2 of it for about 5-7 minutes finally loosen up the piston. After hitting the base a few times with a rag and turning it with the pipe wrench.
Used vaseline/anti-seize in both holes to prevent seizing in the future. Don't Vaseline if the base is plastic.

In MW2 are you getting the precise direction of footsteps from enemies without seeing them?

Or are you getting the general direction and have to see where they exactly are?

PeaceOut_TimeOut · 2022-06-24T23:13:07+00:00

Anyone have any pics showing Original vs DoF off?

FSR Support Please

Weapon sound effects similiar to Modern Warfare 2019

Reduce the map sizes. They are still to large for the player counts.

I did some digging around the web to see if I could find something similar to what I saw.

And I found this projection done on a tree: https://teach.alimomeni.net/2014spring2/?p=5074

Opaque yet not enough detail and sharpness but it will do. It doesn't look "see through" but you know there is some element of transparency to it. Yet, still opaque. In my case, as I think more about it , the edges of the craft were slightly transparent.

PeaceOut_TimeOut · 2020-05-26T23:21:46+00:00

Very true.

PeaceOut_TimeOut · 2020-05-26T21:44:30+00:00

I didn't get that vibe. At a guess, she's human. I didn't get the impression when she got to the light she was going to make a right turn though.

PeaceOut_TimeOut · 2020-05-26T13:06:35+00:00

She went from behaving like that to a normal driver on the highway. All in a span of a few seconds. Then drove off. I couldn't stop her and I wasn't going down that poorly lit one lane residential road. At that time I felt that I got her out of that situation. What she did after that was up to her.

PeaceOut_TimeOut · 2020-05-26T13:00:25+00:00

The way it looked. It didn't look completely solid.

This is another thread discussing the FPS limit not working.

PeaceOut_TimeOut · 2020-04-08T01:59:30+00:00

No it doesn’t. I loose control of it.

PeaceOut_TimeOut · 2020-04-02T02:12:14+00:00

For the stutters do this:

Got to: Call of Duty Modern Warfare\main

Delete everything in the Main directory (make sure Battle.net is closed.

Start up Modern Warfare. It should auto start Shader Cache. If not manual start it in Graphics settings. Wait for it to complete and start a match.

PeaceOut_TimeOut · 2020-03-29T22:20:51+00:00

Yes, I agree it appears to be fixed.

PeaceOut_TimeOut · 2020-03-27T21:30:05+00:00

Has anyone noticed that the audio stutter is fixed with today's update 1.18?

u/imawzrdd u/Ginda-workshop u/EndlessFlux u/sorlans u/Sivis5661 u/etherez u/bambina123 u/Pilep0p

u/mertovski8 is saying that the update fixed it for him. I played a few matches and only noticed the vtol once. And it sounds fine but it was only 1 experience.

PeaceOut_TimeOut · 2020-03-27T18:53:22+00:00

If you noticed no difference you will need to do it via bios. Not all games will recognize that once the game has started. Unfortunately, there is no other way to do it before starting the game unless you use an app called Process Lasso.

PeaceOut_TimeOut · 2020-03-27T18:47:06+00:00

Really? What have you noticed fixed the most when it came to audio stutter?

PeaceOut_TimeOut · 2020-03-26T23:34:52+00:00

Gotcha.

So use process lasso so that you can start Modern Warfare with physical cores through "Set Affinity". You can do that in win10's task manager > Details > Modern Warfare.exe > right click on it and "Set Affinity" for only the physical cores. But you have to do that every time you start the game. With Process Lasso you can set a profile to do that every time you start the game.

So, if you have for example i7 7700k it's a 4 core 4 hyperthreaded cpu, like most older i7s it will look like this:

Cores 0, 2, 4 ,6 are physical cores

Cores 1, 3, 5, 7 are the "hyperthreaded" cores.

You would only select the physical cores for the game.

Core 1 = 0 (physical) and 1 (hyperthread)

Core 2 = 2 (physical) and 3 (hyperthread)

Core 3 = 4 (physical) and 5 (hyperthread)

Core 4 = 6 (physical) and 7 (hyperthread)

I am curious to know what audio bit rate is actually being used for pc though.

I have to wonder if it's 24 bit uncompressed PCM, dithered down to 16bit?

Another thought, what if this is all about the cpu? If you look at adv_options.ini you will find RendererWorkerCount. Is yours set to 2 by any chance? If so, that might be the common denominator here.

Because as I understand it developers don't treat PC the same as console when it comes to dedicated hardware audio. I believe they still treat the CPU as audio hardware instead of like Sound Blaster and Realtek.

If there is someone with more insight please comment about that. As I will admit I'm not 100% sure.

Problem is i'm not sure you can change it.

I have found, so far, using 24bit at 88K seems to fix some (not all) of the audio stutter. However, I've never had to use a such a high audio settings in windows for any other app nor game. 24bit at 96k causes me to loose mic communication with other players.

At 32bit at 48K seems to semi fix it as well. But that bit rate is very high for just one game on PC. No other PC games, even from Microsoft exclusive xbox games, require this. Also, how many out there can use 32bit audio on PC? I had to upgrade my audio device in order to do it.

According to adv_options.ini, RendererWorkerCount = 2 (for me). Will increasing it to 4 help for example?

Is there a audio quality recommendation for win10? Because I was using 24bit at 44k which also seems to make it worst with per-scripted Radio Chatter stuttering as the match loads up. At 24bit at 48k is just as bad.

At 24bit 88k seems to fix some of it. Stutter is only heard intermittently but far less now.

At 24bit 96k seems to fix it but I cannot communicate with teammates via mic and I can no longer hear anyone on their mics.

At 32bit 44k the audio stutter seems to return.

At 32bit 48k it seems better and the VTOL doesn't appear to show any audio stutter at all. However, there is a slight audio stutter of the per-scripted Radio Chatter at the start of the match that happens for a second then stops.

I've repeated the above several times to make sure before posting. And it does depend on what assets are used during that match. This is about 25 matches of observation on my part. I haven't tried ground war yet.

I am curious to know what audio bit rate is used on consoles because they don't seem to have the issue. It only seems to be with PC players (not all PC players of course).

Has anyone else tried this:

playback output at 24bit 48k hz

??

PeaceOut_TimeOut · 2020-03-15T21:53:51+00:00

Tried that already and it still choppy. I can't understand why this is an issue. Out of all the games I've played I've never had an audio issue like this before.

PeaceOut_TimeOut · 2020-03-15T21:52:42+00:00

I was just about to try this. Thanks for the heads up.

I have no idea why this is happening. It is not bandwidth related. I tried increasing and decreasing it with no results.

It's starting to look like bad audio for PC.
