Battlefield 5 crashes - you can do that

If Battlefield 5 crashes, it is usually a little tricky to find out the cause. In our instructions, we go through the typical problem areas step by step.

Why does Battlefield 5 crash? Causes & Solutions

If there are problems with Battlefield 5, the cause can be found in various places. Check the following possible solutions:

• If the problem occurs for the first time, restart your computer. Small bugs in the cache are fixed and the game often works without problems after this step.
• Check that the Origin Launcher and the game itself are up to date. At the bottom left of the launcher you can see when an update for Battlefield 5 is being installed.
• Click Battlefield 5 in your Origin game library. Then click the gear icon next to the "Play" button and select "Repair". If an update was faulty or important files were missing, the error will be corrected.
• If you're trying to play Battlefield 5 for the first time and the game crashes shortly after launch, your hardware might not be good enough. Check that your computer meets the Battlefield 5 system requirements.
• Make sure your operating system is up to date. If necessary, carry out all pending Windows updates.

Driver: roleback or update

If Battlefield 5 crashes, this could be related to the drivers of the graphics card. Depending on the case, updating the drivers or installing an older driver, which is known as roleback, can help.

1. Right click on the Windows icon and click on "Device Manager".
2. Expand the entries for the graphics card and right-click your graphics card.
3. First select "Update driver". If Windows finds a newer driver, install it and check whether the game is running again.
4. If the search does not find a more current driver, right-click the graphics card and select "Properties".
5. Switch to the "Driver" tab and click on "Previous Driver".
