Re: SWBF2 for PC crashing and getting worse!

🙂 Well at least I now know I'm not alone, only got the game yesterday and took four attempts to start the campaign as it kept crashing to desktop in the menu, only played through as far as Endor forest popped back to the menu and crashed again, definitely seems menu overlay issue.

    I have the same issue since the Han Solo Update. The game crashes pretty often (with a bit of luck I can finish one round of GA...).

    I always had dx11 enabled, so I tried to enable dx12, but that just made it worse (game even crashed in the main menu...) So I re-enabled dx11 and used the origin repair function, but that didn't help either.

    Description of the crash:

    the crash occurs in the trooper select menu (after u die) when the timer is at 0 and the game is about to spawn u - right at the moment where the spawn menu should disappear, maybe a problem with the "change of scenery" - happened on 3 different maps (death star, kamino, third one I forgot..), didnt want to keep playing after that. it just crashes to desktop without any kind of error message.

  • Same issue and tried the same method as TheInvisible1337. BF2 crashes - sometimes comes back to desktop, sometimes I have to manually restart pc and no error shown. I also noticed menu is really laggy just as the game opens. Blast mode sometimes doesn't even start and Heroes vs Villains crashes after merely 30-120 seconds, every single time. It also crashes in arcade.

    Hi EA_Atic,

    I've attached my DXDiag file.  Gamertag:  Sinimaxx

    Windows 10 (all updates)

    i7-8700K

    GTX 1080 Ti

    32 GB RAM

    SSD

    ACER G-Sync Monitor, 2560 x 1440, 144 Hz

    I use Origin in game overlay to display FPS.

    Latest Nvidia drivers.

    In Game Video Settings

    Full Screen

    Enable Dynamic Resolution: No

    Vertical Sync: Off

    Motion Blur 0%

    Resolution Scale 100%

    HUD Scale 100%

    Graphics Quality: Custom

    Texture Quality: Ultra

    Texture Filtering: Ultra

    Lighting Quality: Ultra

    Shadow Quality: High

    Effects Quality: Ultra

    Post Process Quality: High

    Mesh Quality: Ultra

    Terrain Quality: Ultra

    Texture Groundcover: Ultra

    Anti-Aliasing: TAA High

    Ambient Occlusion: HBAO Full

    I've played since release.  Latest patch crashes game multiple times per play session.  Usually from menus.  The patch also unequipped all of my star cards, appearances, keybinds graphics settings and reset all of my arcade progress but kept milestones.  Using the GeForce Experience tab of "Optimize Game" finally fixed the graphics.  Mostly crashes just closed the program but often it would hard lock my system requiring a full restart.

    I've played since pre-release in November and my account is an Origin Access account.  I started with trial then it became the full game.  However, during patches it also downloads a trial and regular game patch.  

    Here are my NVIDIA Control Panel Settings under 3D Settings/Manage 3D Settings/Program Settings

    Ambient Occlusion - Not supported for this application

    Ansotropic Filtering - Use global setting (Application-controlled)

    Antialiasing-FXAA - Use global setting (Off)

    Antialiasing - Gamma correction Use global setting (On)

    Antialiasing - Mode - Use global setting (Application-Controlled)

    Antialiasing - Setting - Use global setting (Application-Controlled)

    Antialiasing - Transparency - Use global setting (Off)

    CUDA - GPUs - Use global setting (All)

    Maximum pre-rendered frames - Use global setting (Use the 3D applicaton setting)

    Monitor Technology - Use global setting (G-SYNC)

    Multi-Frame Sampled AA (MFAA) - Use global setting (Off)

    OpenGL rendering GPU - Use global setting (Auto-select)

    Power Management Mode - Use global setting (Optimal power)

    Preferred refresh rate (XB271HU) - Use global setting (Highest available)

    Shader Cache - Use global setting (On)

    Texture Filtering - Anisotropc sample optimazation - Use global setting (Off)

    Texture Filtering - Negative LOD bias - Use global setting (Allow)

    Texture Filtering - Quality

    Texture Filtering Trilinear Optimazation - Use global setting (On)

    Threaded Optimaztion - Use global setting (Auto)

    I hope this helps trouble shoot the issue because it's massively frustrating.

  • Sounds like the same issue I'm having.

    The gameplay itself runs smooth as butter, but when I go to menus, each click of a button is a dice roll if my game is going to crash. Seems worse with the last patch.

    I can play several matches in a row if the two conditions are met:
    1) My character doesn't need to respawn at match end, and
    2) I *NEVER* try to so much as *TOUCH* my star cards.

    Did you guys try other games? Because I noticed I have the same issue with Sims 4 and Gta V, maybe other games too. I think it might be Win 10 related problem - games mentioned have trouble running after update to versions 1709 and 1803. I was using 1607 before 12th June. and everything was alright.

    I am running Win 10 v1607 and the issue kept happening to me either. Can't say anything about how it is now because I haven't been able to launch the game after the last patch.

    I haven't tried other EA games, but since 1803 came out I've played Fortnite, WoW, Far Cry 5, and House Flipper.  No problems with any of them.  Not saying I should rule it out though.

    Any chance it is related to a windows update? Or your card driver ?
    Check your last update timing. Had this recently and when I reverted to older driver, runs perfect. GLHF

    I think I figured it out.
    I had to revert my graphics card drivers back one, and switch to dx11.

    @inglorious_NZL and this is just one, from the 2nd page, from this topic, there are tons of other topics where everyone says that directx 12 has to be disabled and everyon should use dx11. But whatever, you are the man! :D

  • @Nevod81thats true man lots of people did say that and thats what got me working on it... I just couldnt figure out or find  how to do it and was getting frustrated

  • @Nevod81might of been alright if I was searching "crashing on startup" but that wasn't my initial problem, that only just started happening for me. I was searching SWBF2 crashes during multiplayer and got sweet FA
