Who marked this as 'Solved'? The TdrDelay fix doesn't even work for me, it just freezes and then 2 seconds later I can hear the same error popping up in the background while the game's screen is frozen. Devs screwed up their spaghetti code and they need to fix this, one shouldn't even have to look at the registry, let alone modify it, in order to play a game in two thousand * nineteen.


EA support is marking things solved to make It look better. Regedit is a temporary fix we need an official patch to correct this. I've seen that the problem seems to have been found on the Discord and official subreddit so hopefully Tuesday's patch will include the fix. all these User solutions net 1-2 games then you need a restart. This should be priority 1 the last update only increased the total affected computers.  We are potential customers but the longer you make us wait the more likely we are to lose patience and find something new.

  • I might have a workaround for Radeon systems (not sure if this would help nVidia systems or not).  I admit, it's not a great workaround, but if you really wanna play, it's an option:

    Reduce all your graphic settings in the game.  Everything.  Drop any options down by 1 level, or completely off for things like filtering.

    For me, I was getting a crash every 5 minutes, on average.  With this change, I was able to play an hour without a crash.  It seems reducing the load on your GPU helps alleviate the problem.  Credit goes to reddit (don't have the post handy), where they talked about framerate limiting.  I wasn't sure how to do this with AMD, so I just dropped the settings for the same net effect.

    Edit: I've attached (most) of my settings in case anyone wants to match them (Radeon 480).  Note, the final few that are offscreen, are just 1 level lower than max.
