Win8.1 & Win10 & Win11 blackscreen Fix!!

i have posted this before somewhere but i recreat a topic to bring it up. you can Pin this topic or ask tuia to put files in first page of site

if you face blackscreen on pressing ESC during game or while joining servers or while changing map you can do below things   

Download below file

https://mega.nz/file/D9NiRLDS#-6ZAa2_Aj … 4yIdX1WQKc

extract them into your Battlefield directory where the main exe file exists

set your game to RUN as admin (it wouldnt work without it)

your crash should be fixed now,

tested it on Win10 and Win11 and worked fine on both

Abas...   You rock, man. 
Thanks for posting both the link AND the install structs in such a straightforward, bonehead-proof way.
I was able to guide a buddy most of a continent away through the process of applying the fix with zero pain.
Strangely, his version of Win10 didn't autoopen the .rar, but a quick d/l of WinRAR did the trick lickety-split.
Thanks, man!!!

The Mega link no longer works, but grabbing the most recent d3d8.dll file from the github page still works.

For me, this was the ultimate fix to the black screen while loading/pressing ESC; nothing else seemed to work, so thanks a lot friend!

Had a problem recently though I've sorted it.
Just in case anyone else has the same problem I'll mention it here.

When I deleted an old player profile the screen freezes and mouse locks.
Only ctrl alt del gets me out and I have to restart the computer to re-enter windows.
And then if I try to start Battlefield it black screens and crashes.
I've found that re-installing Battlefield makes it work again.
Perhaps it is the d3d8.dll thing but re-installing seems to work
Happy camping
