I have not seen the "you have been disconnected from the server" for quite some time now. The last instance was prior to the update and new map. But, I was having an issue where BF1.exe would cause the game to crash. This one was quite exasperating. But, I think I have fixed it. At first I checked the forums and EA help for answers. The suggestions were that I disable Origin in game, change the way Windows handles the paging file. And running CHKDSK /F (from the cmd prompt with admin level privilege. Restarting the PC and allowing chkdsk to run. This seemed to fix the problem on a temporary basis. The game would run fine for a few days, and then it would crash again with the same info found in event viewer: BF1.exe caused a fault in a certain module. I had messed with various settings in Windows to see if any of them would resolve the problem. Including changing graphics settings to "performance". Well, what I didn't know is that this may have caused BF1.s graphics settings to revert back to DX11. I hadn't changed back to DX11 because I am running Win10 Pro w/DX12. DX12 is better with games than DX11 was. So, I changed back to DX12 and also changed graphics settings to "high" rather than "ultra" I also tried changing how many processors could be used from 12 (12! rather odd given I have Ryzen 1700x w/8 processors). But this is a setting you would have to change everytime you play. I have not had the game crash since I reverted back to DX12. You can try limiting frame rate, which I did. To 144 which goes along with my monitor's ability to do 144hz refresh rate. There are a lot of settings that can effect BF1. It can be kind of a easter egg hunt to determine what is causing one issue or another. Anyway, I hope this helps someone out there.
