The only thing you should definitely make sure of if you're crashing regularly is that your rig isn't overheating.. if that's not the case, there's probably not much you can do for now.
Well, apart from trying the "fixes" others come up with in the forums. None of the ones I came across so far seemed to work for me though and I honestly think it's the game.. As annoying as it might be, waiting for Respawn to fix it is probably the way to go
- 7 years agoI've ran the game on borderless windows, full screen - don't try windowed because I don't know why you would ever try that - I have also rolled back drivers on SSD and HDD options, so I would run the latest driver on SSD then the last one before that etc. I've cleaned my PC of dust, still doesn't work. Tried alot of the deleting files *, doesn't work I have also uninstalled, repaired the game about 5+ times and then I have also nearly stabbed my screen with a screwdriver. Tried some advanced launch options, that didn't work either and tried running it on Windows 8 - 7, and still crashes.
Overall, my point is I think that it's the companies job to fix tbh. However, it might not be and might be a very specific problem. I have no idea, but we have to wait until a solution comes out either from the game company or from somebody else in the community.- 7 years ago
@OverlordZergI managed to find a temporary "solution" or at least one that worked for me. I had the exact same issues as you, I'd crash literally almost every single game. I've got the game running stable now and it has only crashed twice in the past 6+ hours (no error message, it just stops responding, but I dare say that could be an issuewith my PC since my CPU is constantly reaching in the mid 90 degress and thermal throttles) I've tried a combination of everything I can think of and nothing worked until I did this. What I did was literally just change from fullscreen to borderless windowed (Which I know you tried) but on top of that, I changed my Vsync to adaptive.. I can't explain how or why but I'm telling you now, ever since I changed the setting, my constant crashing has pretty much disappeared. I haven't done anything but but the same as you and rolled back my nvidia drivers (to 417.71) which seemed to work for a while but the issue just came back before I changed these settings, I've tried a combination of everything I can think of and these settings along with the old nvidia drivers has been all that has worked.

So...I tried reinstalling that didn't work and tried full screen instead of boarderless. I got no love out of either. I also tried Vsync to adaptive did seem to help maybe normally I crash when I jump out of the ship but this time I got to touch the ground then crash...

(SOLVED)?
Hi Guys, I have experienced the very same problem. I think I probably solved it (for myself at least)
(I'm running WIN 10 x64 on iMac 27" 2017 5k, AMD Pro 570 4GB, 8GB RAM.)
I tried all these suggestions above but nothing seemed to work. Then I got so pissed off that I tried the most stupid things that came across my mind. I have a 5K screen but in Windows I was running a resolution 2560x1440 because I could not even look at that interface.
BUT
Few hours ago I reset the WIN UI resolution to full (5120x2880) and I changed just the game's resolution to 2560x1440. I've set a 4GB VRAM in the game settings and the game is now working perfectly. I'm playing almost for 2 hours now without any crash.
YES OF COURSE I also did these before: Set the game settings to minimum, uninstall Origin and reinstall it, repair the game, run the game as an administrator with a WIN7 compatibility. I also shut down all other apps like Dicord, Steam, (even from background) Roll back the driver etc. nothing worked.
I know it sounds crazy and mental but I guess that just the resolution-chang caused the game to work properly. Now it works on Ultra video settings. Teamspeak and Discord work as well. simultaneously.
HAPPY!
Hope this crazy idea helps you a bit.

Can anyone else confirm positive results from this?

It started with the game freezing up once in a while and i dismissed that to lag but now it just completely shuts down the game and exits the match midgame. I can'r even get a decent game going.
