Intel Arc A-series GPUs seem to have compatibility issues with the new Battlefield installment. However, Intel has acknowledged the problem and is currently investigating the issue.
Intel Arc A-Series GPUs Are Causing Crashes in Battlefield 6; Intel Says It's Working on a New Driver Update to Fix the Problem
Battlefield 6 open beta has just started, and it has hardly been a day, and we are already seeing reports of the game crashing on specific hardware. Thankfully, it's not a widespread issue, but apparently, a lot of Arc A-series GPU owners are facing this. Users with Arc Alchemist discrete GPUs are facing crashes while loading the game or mid-game, and this has led Intel to release its statement on the problem.
Our team at Intel is aware of the crashing issue some of you are experiencing while playing Battlefield 6 on Intel Arc A-Series discrete GPUs. Rest assured, we're on it! We're working hard to develop a fix and will be rolling out a driver update to resolve this as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience and keep an eye out for updates.

If you aren't aware of EA forums, there are some users who have reported game crashes with Arc A-series GPUs. One said that the game crashes while the match is loading, and others shared a similar experience. As acknowledged by Intel, these are all Arc A-series GPU owners, and this is what a user reported on Reddit as well. However, the Redditor u/Ok_Tomato_O has found a temporary fix to this problem.
As per his testing, Battlefield 6 crashes in the "Borderless Mode," and since the game runs on Borderless mode by default, it's common to see the game crashing on Intel A-series GPUs. Once the game is set to Full Screen or Windowed mode, the problem seems to disappear completely. Many users have confirmed that this method works, and before Intel releases a new driver update, we recommend Arc Alchemist discrete GPU owners follow the exact instructions.
Hopefully, Intel releases a new driver that will fix the problem permanently. As of now, the issue doesn't seem to affect the Arc B-Series GPUs.
Update: Intel has released a new driver that should fix the BF6 crashing problem on Arc A-series GPUs.
