I was playing the game for a few hours.. Really enjoying the game play. Went for some lunch came back, Now every time i join a game it crashes within 10 minutes of playing. Just crashes to Desktop, No errors displayed and no errors in Event viewer eitherSpecs are Ryzen 9 3900x308064Gb Ram Checked temps while in join and my GPU is sitting at around 70 to 75c and my CPU is sitting between 65 to 70c. I'm playing with a mixage of medium and High settings aswell with only the origin fps overlay counter active.Thanks

TEMPORARY FIXED!After hours and hours of trying to find a fix i have found one and its not a fix i particularly like.So i had enabled DOCP aka XMP profile to overclock my RAM to 3600mhz. I decided to just disable the DHCP profile and start playing this dramatically dropped my FPS but its worked. I played for around 3 hours with one crash.Hopefully the DEVS at Dice and EA can resolve this issue. Really enjoying the game aswell

Any overlay app will cause this crash to desktop without an error like Discord overlay, MSI Afterburner + rivatuner, Origin overlay ,NZXTCAM overlay, and many others.Try to disable any overlay draw and you should be able to play without any issues.Hope this helps someone.

@EA_Blueberry Steam overlay is off. Discord overlay is off. Origin overlay in game is forced on and grayed out under settings, even though it's off in overall origin settings, because it's a Steam purchase and apparently I don't have a choice there then?I'll test without the joystick next time, today. It seemed to work fine as long as I turned off windows anti virus real time protection. Given that this was a new bug for me that only just happened, I do wonder if it was somehow triggered by Windows defender.I have no mouse issues after clearing keybindings for controller soldier and setting those controller schemes to custom.

@-UK-Gojira Yes same here, just played for about 3 hours without issue, than just customize the weapon and the game crash to desktop without any errors.RTX307012700K32GB RAM496.49 driver

Ive done some more testing and ive managed to get it running perfectly without crashes using DOCP @ 3200MHZ. Soon as i go above 3200MHZ it will crash.
