Has anyone actually "fixed" launching issues? Out of memory issues? I can't play the game anymore.

[Konfin3d]

Update: For anyone who is using Intel i9 13th and 14th gen CPUs, many motherboard companies have recently released ((June 2024) new bios updates that *should* fix the out of memory errors or crashing.

*If this doesn't help, the only other fix is to down clock your CPU.

Honestly, my old computer had no problems running the game (other than low fps). I built a new computer thinking that I could enjoy better graphics/performance on bf2042 as well as the newer games coming out.... and now I can't even launch the game. My computer is x3 better than my old one. I've gone through countless "guides" telling you how to fix the launching issues. And how to fix the out of memory issues. Nothing has helped me. Just lots of posts saying "me too" or "this fixed it for me..." but the next comment is always, "didn't work for me".

How is it that a game that came out 2 years ago can't run on my new computer? It's not top of the line, but it's pretty good in terms of specs. I have ZERO issues running newer titles like Cyberpunk and Starfield. Whatever this random DX12/out of memory issue is, has stumped me. I even found a post from Nvidia saying that driver #whatever the heck it was resolved the issue. No, it hasn't. I've tried older drivers. I've tried the latest driver. None of them improve my situation with this game. Battlefield won't even let you run the game unless you're on a certain version or higher (which I found out from trying to run a driver from last year).

I've tried increasing virtual memory to custom sizes
I've cleaned out old drivers with DDU/and installed many driver versions
I don't have any common applications running that would interfere with it
I do not overclock any of my computer parts because I don't trust myself to do so
No overlays from steam, discord, geforce experience, etc
I have no viruses or malware
I've tried cleaning out all and any temp files, caches files, whatever
My PC isn't overheating, I have lots of fans and they increase based on temps via fancontrol
DirectX Diagnostic Tool shows no problems found
Bios is updated
Reinstalled game many times

Some steps I've tried:
Launch from Steam > loads EA > game won't launch and just closes everything
Launch EA and login > launch from Steam > game launches but then gives me an "out of memory error" and closes everything including the error
Launch EA and login > launch from EA > nothing happens, just goes back to the EA app
Restart PC > Launch/login EA > launch Steam > launch from Steam > crashes to desktop again with no error message
Launch from EA > Somehow magically got to the main screen > tried to join a server > crashed to desktop with a faint glimmer of the directx out of memory error again, but then my PC decided to freeze/restart

Specs:
Windows 11 Pro / fully updated
RTX 3080 Ti
Intel i9-13900K
Gigabyte Z790 AORUS Elite
32GB of DDR5-6000 Ripjaw Ram

DirectX Error:
DirectX function "device2-> CreatePipelineState(&graphicsStreamDesc,__uuidof(ID3D12PipelineState), (void**)&dx12pso)" failed with E_OUTOFMEMORY ("Direct3D could not allocate sufficient memory to complete the call.") GPU:"NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti", Driver: 53742. D:\dev\TnT\LocalPackages\RenderCore2\2.04.00-ks\source\platform\Dx12\PipelineDx12Graphics.cpp

Everything is compatible. My old pc in on Windows 10, and has crappier specs, and ran decent on low settings. I've never seen an out of memory error, EVER.

Yea man, fixed it years ago, unistalled this POS and moved on.

Negative, turning off e-cores caused me to have drops in fps randomly. Like from 200+ down to 20 at times. No thank you. Lots of people run bf2042 on windows 11 with no problem. I don't think you can blame windows.

Problem with Battlefield 2042 are "E-cores". I got a huge stability months ago by using Process Lasso to set CPU Affinity on BF2042.exe and Launcher to only use P-Cores. But, the new update on EAC block this, crashing again and again.

That's because you can read posts about disabling E-Cores to works, or by reducing P-Cores performance.

That's not the idea, I want to use all the power my PC gives me, and I dont want to go to BIOS each time I want to play this game. EA need to fix this, or find another anticheat software, because, lets be honest, there are lots of cheaters on this game. EAC does nothing.

You can set the CPU affinity on the EA app, it will be inherited by the game process when launched.

Hi,

I just built a new computer 4090 with a i9 14900k and couldn’t get my games to launch, either I got the “error” “out of video memory trying to allocate a rendering resource” or the pc would just freeze and I’d have to turn it of via my psu.

I did a number of things I did a full reset in my pc

I removed and reinstalled graphic drivers but nothing worked.

After a lot of hours of research I tried lowering my frequency on my cpu from 5.7 ghz to 5.6 ghz and all of a sudden all my games would launch and work.

It turns out I had gotten a faulty cpu and have had it replaced with a working one.

Now everything is peachy.

Like OP & El1teMaster I also have i9 13900k and had a very similar problem too

My FIX was this
1. download the Intel extreme tuning utility from intels website
2. within the app turn the performance cores ratio from 55 down to 53. click save

3. For anybody else I also high recommend updating your bios, seemed to greatly help my stability in other games.


my suspicion is this is an issue with I9 cpu's and Intel turbo boost technology 3.0 feature -that appeared with a recent big windows update. i do hope this is something that can be patched

RIght, so your solution is to gimp your cpu .. lol, sorry but clearly you got no clue what youre doing with your machine.

actually intel turbo boost has been causing massive issues with gpus for a while now.

playing MW2 you will get crashes and the error message will state that your gpu is detected as overclocked because turbo boost by default, OCs your gpu to an unstable state.

this also causes major crashes in other games as well but they don't have the error message that COD will actually tell you.

so yes, removing the OC from your gpu by doing just what snot said and lowering the performance increase that turbo boost defaults to have can increase stability, and it's not "gimping" your gpu or cpu, it's simply bringing it back to a stable non boosted state.

in intels own site describing turbo boost it literally explains that it can lead to instability in the system so please, stop acting like disabling it is "gimping" it in any way.

if anything the OC that turbo boost does is the real gimp factor here because it both damages pcs and causes game crashes from instability.

so much $$$$$$$ spent in your PCs in these posts but 0 PC knowledge to actually run them any games, so hilarious

well unfortunately its true but can you tell us what this is:

D:\dev\TnT\LocalPackages\RenderCore2\2.04.00-ks\source\platform\Dx12\PipelineDx12Graphics.cpp

Best way to diagnose out of memory problems, is to run something like
Sysinternals Process Explorer (Sysinternals is owned by Microsoft)

Click View, System Information (Ctrl+I)

Read the Peak/Limit % value

Peak is remembered during the entire boot session, so you don't have to keep Process Explorer running to see how high it went.

And Limit is the total amount of memory you have available including virtual memory (swap memory).

Out of memory errors can happen just before 100%, as the program would request to be assigned more memory (potentially going over 100%) and the OS would decline before that happens.

I used to be a strong believer in having enough physical memory to disable swap entirely. And later on, on using fixed sizes. But a lot of programs like to "reserve" a lot more memory than they ever need, and today it's really much simpler to just let windows automatically do it.

If you still wan't to define custom sizes, consider these values can be A LOT higher than what you were used to. Monitor your PEAK vs LIMIT consumption.

EDIT:
And I really hope nobody is running 32-bit windows these days.

Just an update... while I'm sure this doesn't help everyone, the actual cause of my problem was from a faulty CPU. I went through the RMA process, got a new one, and everything is good now. So if you have an i9-13900k and are running into out of memory issues or crashes: 1. I would recommend running a CPU stress test like Prime95 and if your computer crashes, you could have a faulty CPU. 2. Contact Intel. They will not believe you, and make you run tons of test, but in the end they gave in and said it might be faulty. It was.

Thanks to anyone who tried to help me.

Out of Memory doesnt always mean faulty cpu. I mean something with bad coding. I had out of memory crashes at first startup in Lords of The Fallen and Remnant 2. But after patches no issues when first launching after driver install. It was during shader compilation crash. Not in game. I have 13900k

[Nesilyh]

I don't think it's because of a faulty CPU either, as I also had a faulty 13900K, Intel refunded me a few days before the 14900K came out, so I bought one, and I still have the out-of-memory problem (whereas my 14900K passes all Intel's RMA tests).
