I have the GTX980, no issues. Wife has the 680, regular crashes, even on the new drivers released this week, has had crashes in single and multiplayer but more common in multiplayer, typically happens on second map in conquest. Frustrating as all hell. Has anyone had a problem with the 1060? Thinking of upgrading the 680 ---

So i have not been able to play longer then around 20 minutes. BUT!!! fingers crossed. I changed the command rate (cr)of my RAM in bios to 2 instead of 1 and have made it through 3 games for the first time! I will report back here if I crash again ---

Its not a driver issue, nVidia already said so on their forums. Its an actual game issue, they were able to reproduce the same crashing error on ATi boards. We do know the issue is stemming from certain maps, and its not “our” problem. If it wasn’t an issue on their end they wouldn’t even have the issue on their bug tracker. Do us all a favor and go play in traffic. > > Stemming from certain maps for some. I can play all maps as long as they are the first map I do when loading the game. If I play Ballroom Blitz I will finish it. I will crash on the second map regardless of what it is. It’s a memory leak. You gotta restart after 30 minutes or so. When the second map loads the game isn’t discarding old RAM. Thankfully, my longest map was 27 minutes. > > Sadly, after reading online about this issue from previous EA games it is pretty certain they aren’t going to bother fixing this. So, if you want to play then log in, play a match, quit, repeat. Unless the memory is leaking like a ¯\_(ツ)\_/¯, that isn’t the issue. Sometimes I can’t even get through a single round and my rig should easily run the game on medium settings. GTX 770, 16GB RAM, Windows 10 64bit, Intel i7. ---

GTX 770, 16GB RAM, Windows 10 64bit, Intel i7. I have 690 and 32GB Ram. Ultra settings too. Maybe that’s it. Who knows at this stage. All I know is what is working for me. Results are the same for medium No crashes for days and I’m playing match after match by totally quitting out of the game and instantly rejoining. That solution reeks of memory leak. If I go to that second map I’m gonna crash. Never fails. ---

I wasnt able to play 5 minutes of single player. After I set this up, I finished 3 campaigns back to back and played 2 hours of multiplayer and not one crash. Played the day after mutliplayer as well, still no crash. Maybe you’re right but so far its better than crashing every small random time for me anyway. But this is deffintly not our hardware’s fault. ---

I’ve been having this same issue since early access launch. I haven’t posted anything until now, I’ve just been hoping for a fix to come along. I imagine there’s a lot of people like me that have been reading a lot and not posting. If you’re one of those people, please make some noise and let these ¯\_(ツ)\_/¯ know what we’re going through. These buggy unstable releases are unfortunately becoming the norm for this franchise. I swore to myself after BF4 that I’d never buy another EA game, but what can I say, I’m a sucker and believe that people should develop a sense of pride. Not to mention that they released half a game. Where are the standard features that we all have come to expect from BF?.. Hardcore mode, Private Servers, 32-64 player game modes (other than large conquest). Or the features that the fans have been requesting to return to the BF franchise (ex. battle recorder, spectate mode, mod tools, etc). My guess is they’ve already moved on to making the expansions and we will get very few of the features that the community is asking for let alone a game that actually functions. ---

Finally decided to post after following this thread for days… Can I just ask - _ **does anybody know if EA or Dice has communicated with its customers over this issue?** _ I’m not going to tweak settings and hope for the best - there are over 100 pages of people trying this… **No.** I expect this fault in the game to be fixed and at the very least for Dice to communicate with its customers regarding this persistent issue. You know, we did all pay for this game which is not of reasonable or merchantable quality. And with no communication on the issue, well… _ **Is it Dice or EA we should be looking toward for answers?** _ The reason why I ask is because I think it’s time we all take to Twitter on this issue. Perhaps we should coordinate a concerted effort to try and bring this to their attention? ---

I never posted before but have that same crash since day one. Kills the fun. EA and DICE fix your game fast and keep us updated. There are a lot more players with those crashes then there is that post on that page. Getting tired of horrible game launches. Seriously. EVGA GTX 770 Clasified 4gb FX 8350 ---

Guys, nothing helps! I contacted online the customer support Nvidia. They said that this problem is on all graphics cards with factory overclocked, “OС” in the title card. All they offered - remove the driver (software DDС) and perform a clean installation. And also use debug mode (in control panel). But nothing helps, NOTHING! I return the game. And I will claim the money back. Desperate situations. This is the first and only issue in my life in the games. And that only in Battlefield 1 and nowhere else.. Thanks all.

Perhaps we should coordinate a concerted effort to try and bring this to their attention? Going to twitter etc isn’t going to help. They know. They knew about this issue. It appears to be a memory leak. It would probably cost them too much to fix so when they weigh out the options it’s more beneficial not to fix it and ignore it. (aka say “We’re looking into it”) EA ripped us off again. Hoping they prove me wrong, but there is no money in that so I doubt it. I would be very surprised if they fix this issue. ---

I see your point, however wouldn’t you agree that if the amount of discussion in this thread were directed specifically toward EA/Dice via some kind of social media (Twitter), it would prompt them to be far more proactive in fixing the issue? Think about it, rather than having pages of discussion buried in this forum it were out there on social media (a much more public platform) it really becomes a more pressing issue for them. When people take quality-control or customer satisfaction issues with a company to social media, the company is usually much more concerned about dealing with the issue to protect their public perception. All I’m saying is it’s got to pressure them into fixing it moreso than us all complaining in this thread about it, would you not agree? ---

Getting a similar error. Happens at random, any map, any game mode. Sometimes early in the round, sometimes late. I notice Origin tends to crash along with it, which seems odd to me.

They can ignore it all they want. Let’s get real. They have shareholders to please. That’s more important than you or I. Admitting the game they made is bunk is bad biz. How long you been gaming? You’re better off loading up the game, selecting “more”, selecting “credits” and googling every name and hitting up their social media accounts. You bother them enough you may at least get a refund. It’s 2016. Sadly, that’s how internets work now. 😉 ---

First of all, i have the same problem with the DirectX crash. i have like the most peaple here a nvidia GTX 770 But mostly i cant even start the game…after not even 1 second the error messeage “Battlefield 1 no longer works” comes…the strange thing is that it comes not every time, when i restart my pc then sometimes the game starts with no problems and sometimes it doesnt start at all.
