Mine will randomly crash during a game. No particular time. Running i7 3770 SLi GTX 660ti (STOCK CLOCKS) 8GB RAM Windows 8.1 All drivers are up to date. This game still doesn’t work. I managed to reduce the number of crashes I had to about one every three games by turning off Antialiasing deffered. Since your patch today, the .exe crashes every game. Excellent work. Really, buying BF4 is like buying the Ferrari of games but then you lift the hood to find out that the engine has been replaced with poo rolled in glitter. Sort it out Dice, you’re trolling your customers. ---

BF4 (PC) locks up when joining multiplayer servers. Spawn map doesn’t completely load (still “faded out”). Eventually slows to a crawl. If I act quickly, I can alt-f4 repeatedly to quit the game. Otherwise, have to hard reset/reboot. I _CAN_ load the test range. Specs: dual EVGA GTX 760 in SLI (Latest drivers - 334.89) i7-3930 16GB ram Windows 8.0 Nothing is overclocked. Running BF4 in 64-bit as administrator. Did not have the user.cfg workaround file. UPDATE: I am able to load the game from Firefox, but not Chrome. I disabled all plug-ins in both browsers (except for the BF4-related ones) and could not load the spawn map (still) in Chrome. I guess there’s a use for Firefox afterall 😉 ---
