Re: [PC] NFS:MW 2012 crashing in multiplayer

Hi b13l5,

There are some basic troubleshooting steps that could help with this kind of issue:

Make sure Windows updates are installed on your system, including optional ones.
Make sure your drivers are up-to-date.
Use the Repair Install function in Origin.

If you need further assistance please contact an EA Game Advisor. Log in with your Origin account and then choose "Product", "Category" and "Platform" to see the contact options.

Regards,

Barry.

    As I have said the computer is a fresh install, fully up to date windows and drivers.

    The Origin installation is also fresh and I have done it twice, no effect.

    However: I have found a silly work-around. When I ALT+TAB just before the score screen pops up it doesn't crash the game. Then after the screen I can use ALT+ENTER again to go fullscreen. This leads me to believe it's a video problem. I am using a GTX460 with the latest (non-beta) drivers from Nvidia.

  • It could be a numerous reasons lol. Did you btw recently go prestige? Me and others have had problems with the game after going prestige. Before I went prestige I had the game crash on me one time after about 50hrs of gameplay. After I went prestige I had it crash 5 times in a single day.

    Recently though it hasnt crashed at all. Only difference I really made was updating my Origin client to the new beta version which also made all my friends pop up in-game which they did not before. Try updating the Origin client to the beta version and see if that helpt with speed lists in full screen. Doubt the crashes are related to your video card, more likely some problem when the game tries to access the speed list and gather information from Autolog and Origin.

    You mean the thingy that you can use when reaching lvl 71? Yes in fact it started happening right after I used the option to do that. Ever since that it keeps crashing like mad...

    Problem is though, that if I want to use the Origin Beta version, my Mass Effect 3 installation bugs a lot, also no connection and all that annoying logout stuff.

    Even the default Origin chat windows won't pop up anymore, now when someone starts talking to me through Origin I see the window in the taskbar, but it's nowhere in my screen, but that's an issue I have had for months now...
