Battlefield 3 is minimized

At games like Battlefield 3 As a player, you must act and react quickly. It is of course very annoying when the game is constantly minimized. This well-known error, also known as "Crash to Desktop", can have various causes, but they can always be easily remedied.

Battlefield 3 is shrinking because of other programs

If Battlefield 3 suddenly minimizes, it could be because another program running in the background is pushing itself into the foreground.

• Therefore, open up your start menu at the bottom of the taskbar and see which programs are running all the time.
• If you have a messenger running in the background, switch it off.
• Some virus programs also collide with Battlefield 3. Therefore, you should at least stop Kaspersky anti-virus protection as well.


Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Crashes - Countermeasures

You want to play Battlefield: Bad Company 2 on your PC, but the game keeps crashing ...

Then restart Battlefield 3. The problem may now no longer occur. If it does, it may be due to incorrect timing of the graphic card.

Crash to Desktop - minimizing because of graphics card clock

1. To fix this, download a clocking tool like the MSI Afterburner down.
2. Install the program.
3. Start it and switch the clock speed down to a value of 848 Mhz. In some cases, 822 Mhz are also required.
4. Then start the game. It should run fine now.
5. If this is still not the case, it can only be due to an out-of-date graphics driver. Update the driver, reboot and start Battlefield 3 again.

Now no more errors should actually occur.
