Had the same issue (not during beta though). Installing the latest windows 10 update seems to be working for me. So far, no crashes after 5 hours. EDIT: Never mind. Crashed again after a few hours ---

Curious - but has anyone tried reverting their Windows 8.1 updates back to September? I just noticed 5 automatic updates installed between 10/15 - 10/17 from Windows. It is the only thing which could have changed between the time of beta and the time of BF1 release. I have deleted the 5 Windows updates and will test after my next meeting ends… stay tuned. ---

I wouldnt say nothing has changed from beta to BF1, considering how small the beta was compared and who knows what they added that could be conflicting with nvidia drivers or something. Im about to try the repairing redist recommendation going to see how that goes shortly. ---

I’ve done literally every known fix to mankind, and the crashes are still not fixed. At best, they happen less frequently (2~3 matches). Mount Grappa and Ballroom Blitz seem to have a much higher chance to crash the game early on. - Repaired BF1. - Deleted, re-downloaded and reinstalled BF1 completely. - Deleted settings (BF1 Folder in Documents). - Updated Windows 10. - Cleaned drivers (Display Driver Uninstaller). - Updated drivers (373.03). - Rolled back drivers (372.90). - Disabled DX12. - Disabled/Enabled Vsync. - Switched from Fullscreen to Borderless. - Underclocked GPU Core/Mem. - Reinstalled VC Redist. - Checked GPU temp (62°C full load ingame, so not really hot). - Set “max power/performance” in nVIDIA control panel. - Set gametime.maxvariablefps 60 (and 61, 80, etc…) - No MSI Afterburner or any similar program running in the background. - Very clean Windows 10 install with minimal programs running in the background. - Disabled Origin ingame. - Uninstalled Geforce Experience. I have a GTX 770 (Gigabyte Windforce 2GB, i5 4670, 8Gb RAM, 144Hz Monitor). When the game doesn’t crash, it runs smoothly at 1080p medium (60+fps). Not a single stutter or unusual framerate drop. I play Conquest 64 exclusively. I never had a single crash in 450+ hours of BF4, 40 hours of BF1 beta, nor any in BF Hardline and Battlefront betas. All these games ran perfectly. Your move, nVIDIA/Dice. ---

What with this and unpredictable mouse input lag, which I also didn’t see in beta this game is pretty much unplayable at this point. ---

I dissabled the nvidia experience optimalisation of the game. And it became a lot more stable. ---

Bump to keep this at the top of the forums for visibility. EA needs to say they are aware of this error already. ---

As well as the pop up for a DXGI\_Error crash, mine will also crash when loading a new map during a round of operations. Its a black screen with the sound repeating very quickly. It requires a restart. ---

UPDATE: deleting the 5 recent windows (8.1) updates did not fix. So I went ahead and upgraded to Windows 10, with the two important updates released today. Just received another Direct X Function Error crash to desktop. Going on ~8 hours spent trying to find a work around for these crashes, I’m starting to lose patience.
