Nvidia Drivers: 372.90 Is more stable then the latest 373.06. But it is still crashing but it takes longer. Sounds like a memory leak. Nothing we can do until drivers get patches and/or BF1. ---

What helped me to play a few rounds (still crashed, but i could play 4-6 rounds which never happend before) was to turn the game to “Borderless Window” mode. I don’t know why, but it helped. At least for this gaming session tonight (before that, i crashed right after joining a match..) I am also on: GTX690 i7-3820 16gbMem Using 372.90 drivers. But after the crash at round start I figured the drivers might not help. ---

Has Dice ever communicated about this issue? Surely with the amount of reports, they must be aware of it. Would be nice not to be left in the dark if a patch is upcoming, especially since it’s ruining our early enlister experience, the only reason we paid extra $$$. ---

I was getting this playing BF4 in the last week or so as well so it must be an nVidia issue. ---

Ok guys, I think I may have fixed my issue. Here’s the step by step: 1. Go to Uninstall programs and uninstall every piece of Nvidia software. 2. Restart computer after EACH install. 3. Once everything is uninstalled, redownload GeForce Experience or the video driver. 4. Restart computer I don’t have DX12 enabled or the GPU memory limit thing in the video options. Since doing this, I haven’t had a crash in the last 4-5 hours. Hope this helps! ---

These crashes are nothing new for BF titles. 2 solutions have worked for me in the past. I would have crashes from overheating and gpu throttling, if that’s not your issue then just ignore that, if you’re not sure then use afterburner or percisionx16 and enable an agressive fan curve. If that’s not your problem try changing the in game video settings to windowed mode. You can also likley do this through geforce experience, but I haven’t done it there in awhile. ---

Guys, I had this issue since BF4 with two GTX 780Ti which had been overclocked by the manufacturer (inno3D and Gigabyte). I tried a lot of things but everything failed. By clocking the GPU to its standard clock it became better (1 error wihtin 6 hours gameplay) but it didn’t really disappear. After almost 2 years of troubles with my 780Ti’s and BF4 we found out that some graphics card ran into their voltage limitations and can’t handle the boost. If you can’t raise your voltage on your graphics card in the BIOS you’re somehow screwed. The interesting thing is that any other game ran perfectly except for the Frostbite engine which really doesn’t like overclocked GPUs at all. The only solution for this: Buy a graphics card w/o any overclock or where you can at least raise the voltage with the BIOS. ---

What i did with this problem, which havent happen in 2 days is tuning the graphic details to low. When the graphic card gets around 80, there is a risk it will crash. ---

Same issue here. It happens more so on loading screens btwn matches right at ~30secs left. Sometimes right before a match ends, which is super frustrating. First starting playing with auto settings, which were Ultra on almost everything. Then moved everything to medium settings and still didn’t work.
