    @HedonismBot14 This seems fixed now on driver 528.02. Max settings, max FOV, have not crashed yet in my quick testing on 4080 FE.

I seem to have these problems now since upgrading to a 4080. Played fine with everything maxed out on my 3080 with no issues whatsoever.

Recently added a 4080 and straightaway I have these issues. I'm fine of I stay in a vehicle. But as soon as its boots on the ground my game will crash. Tried the usual fixes including using DDU to reinstall drivers, trying out older drivers. The only thing that has helped so far is lowering my graphics. I actually manged to get through a whole game. Will test again soon to see if this has sorted it.  But I didn't invest in a 4080 to play with anything but ultra settings. It's definitely a Battlefield problem as this is the only game it happens on.

I play on a wide-screen odyssey G9.

@Darth_Norm yes there is a workaround for it !
Read full topic would help ya already !

It seems FOV larger then 70 gives issues !
Display settings at High only would solve issues also !
And something with terrain display settings could solve yourw issues !!

So best way is set all to HIGH , and lower fov, keep in mind there is an known issue with the 40xx series GPU at this moment !

Keep up uptodate !

    @Rokebo73 What is the known issue? We had no crashes again after extended play last night - mine ultra wide windows 11 with 4090 , hers with my old hardware was not ultra wide and...

    Ah, my FOV isn't as wide as 70+ I think on either pc.

      @Kuiriel need to play around with display settings (set to high, fov 70 or lower)
      Also some only could turn down OC by 100 a 200Mhz from GPU !
