Hey @dijikul,
That indeed doesn't sound good.
Can you please post a DxDiag of your PC?
https://help.ea.com/en/help/pc/how-to-gather-dxdiag-information/ Game has been unplayable for a lot of people on MP. Even with the best or almost best hardware people are lagging on servers since the very beginning. they releases patches that they say are the highest priority for players playing but still no server updates for the people that are getting lag for no reason. What do we get? A scoreboard update! A non critical update compared to this bug they have. They should have had this game ready before launch but like battlefields beforehand they waited till the release date and released another not finished battlefield game. Being one of the ones that upgraded my pc and purchased the legendary months in advance and can't play a game of multiplayer is completely frustrating.
Thanks, EQ_Leeuw, for the prompt reply.
Here's my DXDiag info. Turns out I was wrong, and Windows isn't 100% up to date, so doing that now. Nvidia drivers should be, though.
Will report back if problem persists after updating Windows, but as someone who plays several times per week most weeks, I've never had any issues with the Origin Version of the game, since day one.
To the point of the other poster in this thread, as someone who originally purchased the Steam version, it was hot-trash and crashed regularly. I refunded it within the hour per Steam policy, however the Origin version has been clean and worked fine up until this recent patch.
Looks like Windows Updates had a positive impact. No crashes yet.

@dijikul, thanks for the file & awesome to hear that you went ahead to see if you could fix it yourself. Glad to hear as well that it eventually turned out to be Windows Update. Were there some additional updates by any chance? The ones that you have to 'manually install' via the PC settings menu? Automatic Updates are not set to auto apply. More trouble than their worth, sometimes. It included .NET Framework cumulative updates along with some other Windows stuff that I didn't pay attention to.
Unrealted, the new Scoreboard looks ok, but when are they going to bring back the Commander Mode from BF2? There's enough bots on each server to provide an RTS-like experience and actual strat. Right now, this game's good, but it's trying to be something Battlefield never was, in the face of CoD.

@dijikul, ah alright, thanks for explaining your Windows Updates situation.
Thanks for the feedback regarding the game as well! 🙂 It's been unplayable for me as well. I don't even get an error code, it just crashes pc almost instantly. No issues prior to this update.
I'm using ryzen 5600x and Nvidia 3080.

Here you go. I started a couple tickets on EA yesterday, they couldn't figure it out. All other games work and my PC is well above the specs requires. No issues with game before this update. I have reinstalled windows and drivers, even rolled some drivers back with no luck. The game resets my PC almost immediately now. Prior to this I could play a couple minutes before the crash.
