Incompatible video settings

If your system's hardware is not able to meet the demands made by the graphics settings, it could lead to a crash or DirectX error in the BF6 Open Beta. In the game, you can adjust some settings to ensure this does not happen. Here's how:

• In the game, go to the Options menu.
• Next, go to Graphics>Graphic Settings.
• Here, turn all settings to low, especially the Mesh Quality and Texture Quality. This method will reduce the load on your PC's hardware.

Reducing the graphics quality settings is perhaps the easiest way to ensure that the game does not overload your PC and cause a crash. It can also help you avoid the Battlefield 6 DirectX error.
