Game was crashing very often. When restarting I always got a message saying that some files are damaged. Repair really found invalid content and replaced these parts. In Windows event viewer I also found several events with disk errors. After replacing the ssd the game runs fine, even with DX12. ---

My game doesn’t crash, it literally EXITS PROGRAM as if I pressed ALT-F4, except for 1 second it freezes, then it just ‘exits’ WTH is going on, Evil Agency Games? or DICE, Dorky International Collaborative Evils? ---

This is exactly what happens to me. The game will basically freeze for a second (like when you get a massive drop in frame rate) then just crash to desktop. When it crashes I get no error message, and there is nothing in Event Viewer. I have reinstalled windows, reinstalled the game, repaired the game, down clocked ram, removed ram, tweaked voltages, downclocked and overclocked my GPU, tried every graphics setting you can think of on a variety of drivers. Nothing works, the game is broken in some way. ---

It seems EA is taking the usual approach of placing the blame on our systems instead of their code. Eventhough I did not have crashing to desktop, my case was windows update. I did a reinstall of windows, unplugged my network, paused win update, downloaded windows update patch. Installed that way. MS has announced that windows update caused system instability. Second thing I can think of is if your onboard graphic card is enabled in bios and the drivers installed Microsoft has said that oct build is causing graphic issues [https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/microsoft-update-october-8-2019kb4517389-os-build/c01baa68-2c26-46b0-944c-a0e577bfa6f1?auth=1](https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/microsoft-update-october-8-2019kb4517389-os-build/c01baa68-2c26-46b0-944c-a0e577bfa6f1?auth=1) I totally blocked that update and moved on the standalone install [https://www.neowin.net/news/intel-driver-update-for-windows-10-causing-display-aberrations/](https://www.neowin.net/news/intel-driver-update-for-windows-10-causing-display-aberrations/) Although the problem with display glitches is inconvenient, it doesn’t appear to render affected machines completely inoperable. As a result, this provides users the opportunity to simply roll back the driver update to avoid the issue until the offending update is automatically downloaded again. However, you can now [pause updates for up to 35 days if you’ve installed the May 2019 Update](https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-announces-the-windows-10-may-2019-update-coming-to-release-preview-next-week/) as follows: - Press Win + I (for India) - Click “Update & Security” - Click “Pause updates for 7 days” - Repeat to pause updates for up to 35 days as desire Also wanted to add, MS has announced to not use windows update because there is an issue with win 10 build in update. Edit one more for importand note If you uninstall the last update you will run into permission problems, I’d advice you if this happens rest will fail because win will not remove the latest update, and with win update breaking windows system there is little option but to reinstall, and follow ms advice to use standalone download update [https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4517389](https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4517389) ---

I believe if you are overclocking your RAM, this game does not like it, so try to default your ram speed and see if it doesn’t crash the game anymore ---

> [@PsiHo1389](#): > > I have normall stock speed (xmp on), but still crash 😕 Just wanted to correct a common misconception. “XMP enabled” **is not** stock. XMP is a profile of prevalidated overclocking values. Motherboards and CPUs (if the memory controller is built into it like most Intel ones) also affect memory overclocking stability so XMP is not necessarily stable just because it’s XMP, it’s just more likely to be stable. ---

GameTime.MaxVariableFps 72 seems to do the trick. It´s high enough to play the game without getting headache but low enough to keep CPU\GPU usage \<80% most of the time. New AMD update came out couple of days ago, promising to fix some TDR issues but it was even worse for me. VRAM usage dropped and CPU usage spiked @100% constantly. Usually it was 20-30% lower. ---

Installed latest Nvidia drivers and im still crashing to desktop. About 15 mins into a game. Great communication from DICE about this issue, the forum is full of reports, yet they havent even acknowledged it. ---

I have tried everything in my bios to fix the issues. Voltages, clocks, even removing RAM. Then I have tried all of the suggestions to do in Windows. I can’t get the game to work consistently. I’ve been playing Modern Warfare and Forza all weekend on my PC without any problems. The issue is with the game.
