First off, if you didn’t see in the title I do play BF4 on PC. Now that thats out of the way, I was a hardcore BF3 player, I LOVED it and still play it, I got battlefield 4 on release with premium and it was a bit of a change but i went with it. The game would crash quite a lot (Battlefield4 has stopped responding error messages). I went with it because it was a new game, I opened numerous tickets, deleted and re installed drivers, hell, even reformatted my PC like tech support said and still had issues. I gave up, I didnt play for about 5 months in hopes that game updates would fix issues. I came back yesterday, I cant play for longer than a match, maybe a match and a half (30 - 45 mins) without my game crashing.
Is anyone else having this issue, I’m about to give up in general and just uninstall the game.
Looking forward to seeing peoples experiences and or ideas about how to get it fixed or how to stick it to get a possible refund - I know the latter is probably rare but hey just throwing it out there lol
Try running memtest and checking your ram overnight.
How are your temps? CPU or GPU overheating?
Are you doing clean installs of drivers?
Have you tried running 32-bit mode for bf4? That solved a lot of crashes for me.
Is your punkbuster up to date?
Research increasing voltage for 560s. These are known for crashing and many people were able to resolve issues by upping voltages or updating the bios.
I’ve ran memtest before for about 36 hours before and everythign came up fine, that was a few months ago though.
My temps are fine, neither are overheating. I’ve done clean installs and regular overwrights, they both act the same way.
Havent tried running the 32-bit version I may try that when I get home.
Punkbuster is up to date.
I’ll look into increasing the voltage but I don’t believe I can, Also I’ve looked into updating the Bios for the video cards but PNY does not offer any Bios updates and I havent really been able to locate any.
So I left a nasty message on one of my tickets / convos with the game techs. They said sorry and they don’t know why they didn’t catch it before, with a 560ti, especially mine, they are factory over clocked, so I’m gonna underclock it a few Mhz to about 820 from 850mhz, and see if that helps.
BTW I did get afterburner, I can change the clock speeds but not voltages. Its grayed out.
I actually just saw that after I responded, i haven’t had a chance to look up specs, is there any ideal voltage range I should be looking at? I’m not over clicking it anymore obviously, just trying to get it to run without crashing
If you overclock your CPU, lower the clock and run Intel Burn Test on maximum for 10 cycles. Use Realtemp to watch for CPU temperature. There will be an error if the clock is unstable. It takes a while but usually if it fails, it happens in the first 1-3 cycles.
