Re: Battlefield 1 Instant Crash on Startup

Had the same problem. I did the "disable origin in game" setting in origin and that didn't work.

I also found that disabling MSI Afterburner seemed to get BF1 working again but I wanted to use my overclock settings. So I went into Afterburner to try and pin down what may have been causing the issue.

What seems to have ended up working for me was going into the MSI Afterburner settings ->video capture tab ->Changed video capture to NONE by backspace-deleting the hotkey F10 value that was present and it changed the value to NONE. Also kept video prerecord to NONE. 

So far seems to be fine now with overclock settings in place.

Sidenote: if you have Xbox app installed might want to open it and go into settings menu --> Game DVR --> Record game clips and screenshots using Game DVR and turn it OFF as well.
