6 Ways to Fix Regular In-Game Battlefield 6 Crashing on Windows PCs

Millions of players are now playing Battlefield 6 since its October 10 launch. However, many players have reported that the game crashes too much. For example, this is what a BF 6 player said on Reddit: “Game ran perfectly for a few minutes, then would hard-freeze and dump straight to desktop. No error messages, nothing in Windows Event Viewer, other games ran fine.” Regular in-game crashing like that can make Battlefield 6 unplayable. This is how you can fix regular in-game Battlefield 6 crashing on Windows PCs.

Increase Virtual Memory Allocation

Some players have fixed in-game Battlefield 6 crashing by increasing virtual memory allocation. Applying this potential resolution can remedy BF 6 memory leaks. Try increasing virtual memory allocation as follows:

1. Activate the file-searching tool in Windows 11 by clicking on the Search box.
2. Enter the keyword advanced system settings into the search tool.
3. Click on the View advanced system settings in the search box.
4. Next, press Settings on the Advanced tab.
   
   

   The Performance Options window

5. Click Advanced > Change to view the Virtual Memory window.
6. Unselect the checkbox with the Automatically manage paging file label.
7. Click on the Custom size radio button.

8. Multiply your PC’s total RAM by 1,024 and 1.5, and input that total in the Initial size box. If your PC has eight gigabytes, for example, the formula and total to enter would be: 1,024 x 8 x 1.5 = 12,888.
9. Then, multiply your RAM total (in binary) by 3 and enter the total value in the Maximum size box. For example, the formula for eight gigabytes of RAM would be: 8,192 x 3 = 24,576.
10. Click on the Set button.
11. Select OK to finish.

Adjust the Battlefield 6 Graphics Settings

Players confirm they’ve fixed Battlefield 6 crashing by generally setting the in-game graphical settings to low. Start your Battlefield 6 game and select Settings > Graphics > Graphics: Modify. Then, adjust the in-game graphical settings like this:

• Graphics Quality: Custom

Update the BIOS

I recommend reading the PC manufacturer’s pages that provide instructions for how to update the BIOS. Here are some PC manufacturer pages that explain how you can update the BIOS for different models:
