Tried to play a few games today and CTD’s started again. I genuinely can’t understand why I keep playing this rubbish game.  
Every change sees people having performance issues, cheating is rife and yet I keep coming back.  
Will someone please create a challenger to these lazy developers!

Non stop CTD’s today. I wonder which developer moved his chair at work to cause this.

Uninstall the latest windows update.

One was released yesterday and it is causing issues.

Are you as a moderator of a BFV forum telling people they should uninstall windows patches?? Some of those are actually security updates and other useful stuff. Seems a bit… dangerous. Maybe poke DICE and have them fix the bugs instead?

Just passing on what I’ve seen others reporting.

Nobody’s saying to remove the update indefinitely, Just as a way of mitigating an issue where an update caused issues with BFV.

There are other methods available to mitigating some FPS fluctuations, And those do rely on messing with more advanced security settings within windows.

if you have an nVidia GPU, you should install this driver version, GeForce Hotfix Driver 436.51.  
Good luck.

P.S. Use DDU to uninstall the driver.

Dear moderator, the truth is: this game is poorly optimized and Dice has been silent about this mayor issue, maybe because the game has a very low player count and they can’t afford having a scandal again. But also there is another truth: people love BF series and are a faithfull community that has been very pacient with every BF launch: a year of tolerance for making a game playable seems polite and pacient enough from our side don’t you think? Keep it real guys, they are not telling us the whole story.

Thanks for all the replies. I will try the hotfix driver and see what happens.

I installed the Windows 10 October update (released on Tuesday) and my FPS performance reduced a fair bit, I was having really bad graphics lag and had a CTD. Event Viewer showed that the nVidia driver (latest hotfix) stopped responding.

Windows doesn’t let you uninstall the October cumulative update, so I did a System Restore back to the restore point that was automatically created before the October update installed - after that my performance was perfect again.

Seems to have cleared now. FPS back up and CTD’s stopped.

I get a CTD the first time I launch the game (getting display driver stopped working in the eventlog). After the CTD, I can launch the game and it plays fine.

Running a fully patched Windows 10 1903 and using NVidia 436.51 driver.

I had that same issue still about week ago. CPU jumped to 100% when loading and stayed there couple of seconds. Huge stuttering on that time. Then it suddenly got fixed and I don’t have a clue why. It might be uninstalling and installing gpu driver multiple times or windows update or lowering GPU overclock a little bit. My rig 8700K(5GHz), 2080 Ti, 32GB RAM (4000MHz), win 10 1903, driver 436.48, DX12, no FFR, no DXR.

I think the problem is on the server side, I found high latency peaks and at that moment the game sometimes crashes.  
I hope it is solved.
