Has anybody found anything that really works for them to prevent game crashes? Or is the game just screwed until they release the proper patch? My game crashes constantly on different maps, with different settings, and after different amounts of time. Complete random really. The bad part is that with Windows 8.1 (for me) I don’t get a “bf4.exe stopped working” or “driver stopped responding blah” I just get a black screen and I’m forced to hard reset. If anybody has any tips, whether they always work or not, please share because I have found no useful work arounds. ---

Don’t buy premium till they fix it. I’m kinda screwed till they do. ---

Hm i´m also running BF4 on Win8.1. Fortunately my game does not crash that often but when it does i always get the “bf4.exe stopped working” thing… A friend of mine said that he is getting way less crashes after he changed the graphics from high all the way down to low leaving only 2x AA and texture filtering on high. I can only play on low anyway so i have no idea if that´s really helping but might be worth a try as long as you don´t mind stepping back on the visuals. ---

Yes! I have been crashing constantly after the first patch, and I found the fix today to my problem. When I die I typically spam click on the teammate I want to spawn on. When I do I almost always crash upon spawning. If I click once on the teammate, then click deploy, I stopped crashing. Windows 7 here btw.
