Blue Screen after exiting the game
Every time I close the game, I get a BSOD with the following message:
"KERNEL APC PENDING DURING EXIT"

It started happening after the last update, and it's consistent.

I bet it's related to EA Anti-Cheat.

Is your motherboard ASUS?

Yeah I'm not too keen on compromising my PC security to circumvent a butchered game related service.

It is. I have a 12700 and an Asus B660. Is this a known issue?

5600x+3060ti+tuf-b550 After the update, it will also have a blue screen, and the blue screen code is the same as yours. When reinstalling the driver or game, there will be no effect. When clicking to exit the game, the black screen will appear immediately, and then the blue screen will appear

Hi all,
I was also affected by this BSOD (KERNEL APC PENDING DURING EXIT) issue when exiting BF2042.

My system
ASUS ROG Strix X570-E Gaming
AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
64GB DDR4-3600

The issue seems to be related to some ASUS drivers and EA Anti-Cheat and there is also a forum post on EA Answer HQ here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Blue-Screen-of-Death-after-closing-BF2042/td-p/13088702

I solved it temporarily by disabling the ASUS drivers mentioned (no need to delete them, just disable them for your gaming session until the issue is resolved by EA or ASUS).
system32\drivers\AsIO2.sys
system32\drivers\AsIO3.sys
SysWOW64\drivers\AsIO.sys
SysWOW64\drivers\AsUpIO.sys

To disable those ASUS drivers, you can either do so by editing the following registry entries:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AsIO
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AsUpIO
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Asusgio2
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Asusgio3

and set the start type of each of those services (drivers) to manual:
"Start"=dword:00000003

or use the following software: ServiWin http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/serviwin.html

Please note that disabling these ASUS drivers will have an impact on software such as ASUS AI Suite or other ASUS fan software!
(I don't use ASUS AI Suite or any other ASUS fan controlling software as I use the software ICUE on my system.)

I hope this helps in the meantime :B1:

Thank you!

In my case, disabling "Asusgio3" alone resolved the issue, although it causes Armoury Crate to stop launching. Not the biggest loss in the world. :)

Thanks alot for the solution. I got this software installed with my Asus ROG Swift OLED, and even though I had uninstalled the software this regedit keys was apparently still active. Your solution fixed the problem and now I don't have bluescreen anymore when quitting BF2042

You can also use the app "bluescreenview/er" and i just say this to cover every possibility. The program is free and can maybe help you or others with bluescreens in the future ;-)

Also getting this issue, is there still no official fix out yet? I'd rather not disable my drivers (too lazy :P)
