DirectX-related crashing

...

Not to be a you-know-what, but you're kind of asking for trouble trying to play this game on 4K with a GTX 1070.

Does it crash if you lower your Windows display settings to 1440p and set in-game video to low-quality?

FWIW - I had to revert to 528.49, because the game was crashing. That's the first time that's happened for me since the game was released.

Regarding the 531.18 driver -> https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/Known-Issue-Nvidia-Drivers-Version-531-18/m-p/12359674#M43517

4K is my native Windows resolution, but I play the game at 1440p (Low). Yes -- still crashes regardless of game quality settings. No matter what driver (old or new) I try, it still crashes with DirectX problems...

Currently, I am on the latest hotfix driver (531.26) they released yesterday: https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5450

Still crashes.

Set your Windows display resolution to match the in-game 1440p and see what that does. I'm not hopeful, but its easy to do, so worth giving it a shot. Turn HDR off (in Windows) while you're at it, to see what happens.

If you haven't already, try setting your in-game video to the lowest quality with features like HDR turned off. If it works without crashing, start upping the settings. You might find there is one particularly setting that is causing your issue.

While a long shot - check in your BIOS to make sure your memory speed matches your CPU and motherboard. Some, like you, who have not intentionally overclocked, have found that the default memory speed is set higher than what the CPU/MOBO can handle and it causes intermittent crashing.

Were you ever able to play consistently without crashing - i.e. is this a new behavior as of a certain change?

FWIW - I've never had to manually update DirectX. It automatically updates via Windows Update.

So far:

- Changed Windows resolution to 1440p / Game resolution on 1440p

- HDR off by default

- Memory set to XMP profile in BIOS; voltage set correctly

- CPU on stock / PBO stock

- Game quality settings set to 'Auto'

- Game crashed after 20 min...

Thinking of upgrading to Windows 11 (fresh install), and seeing if that works. Yes -- I was able to play problem-free in the beginning months, but gradually started getting DirectX errors..

Heads up - The game is not supported on Win11 officially, although I've been able to play on Win11, since it first came out.

You said you're on hotfix drivers, did you try rolling back to a driver prior to 531.XX? There's a known issue with 2042 and 531.18 as was posted above. I and many others had gpu crashes on that driver and there are other threads about it. So far so good on the prior driver I rolled back to.

Having the same DirectX function errors too. Can't play for more than 1 or 2 matches before crash to desktop. This has ONLY been happening since the new season dropped, with the new drivers and older ones.
