Re: Battlefront constantly crashes, AMD drivers up to date (15.12)

@Carbonic I did as you suggested, as well as disabled the Origin in-game interface (a suggestion I saw elsewhere). But after ~2.5rds of walker assault (an improvement!) it crashed to desktop again ☹️

@Unternoober

One major issue I see in your DXdiag is that your R7 card only has 1GB of memory.  This game's minimum specs requires a 2GB card.

@TapouTony420 the APU shares system memory as needed (which is likely also why the gpu's builtin ram is only ddr3). And if that were the problem, I wouldn't expect to be able to play for 40 minutes before it crashed, I'd expect it to lock up as soon as I launched the game, as other posters on this forum with discrete cards having < 2GB ram have seen.

Have you repaired the game? Right click Battlefront in Origin and select 'repair game'.

@Fred_vdp I tried repairing the game this evening after the first crash. I want to say it went for ~1hr, maybe a little over, before crashing again.

The biggest change I've seen was after upgrading the drivers to 16.1 and turning off the Origin in-game overlay. I can't control drivers, but perhaps there's something else trying to pop-up from the system tray or something that I don't see til after the crash. I'm going to try running it in windowed mode, see if I can observe anything different.

Add Origin's Achievement popups to the list of possible culprits.

After about an hour of windowed play (ew) I saw a popup in the corner for an Achievement... I have never seen these in fullscreen, although I apparently have like 8 of them in the game. I turned off all notifications from Origin, but there is no option to turn off Achievement pop-ups. I went back into full-screen, and in the middle of a fairly outstanding round of Fighter Squadron it crashed again.

If anyone knows how to disable these please let me know.

The achievement messages use Origin's in game overlay feature to display the messages. If you don't use Origin in game you can disable it for each game or entirely for all your games.
