PC Update #3.2 increased instability

Since the Update #3.2 was rolled out, experiencing increased crashes to desktop.  The game freezes at random points and closes itself and returns to the Origin client screen.

The frequency of crashes is significantly more now since Update #3.2 was rolled out. It is the update and not my end at fault.

  • Since the update I've been getting mid game crashes around the 15-20 minute mark nearly every round. The screen goes black, I get the BF loading symbol and then I'm back searching for another server - losing all the XP I would get at the end of the round.

  • Same problem here: after installing update 3.2, I could not finish any single round yet.

    It just hangs: after 15-20 minutes of play screen freezes, and the audio is stuck with one tone.

    PC, GeForce 1650

  • The game after update 3.2 is pretty much unplayable!!!

    Hangs and crashes every 5-20 minutes. It is sooooo annoying

    I give up...

    Its entirely random.  Occurs on any map, can be 5 or 25 minutes into a game and on foot or in vehicle.  The 3.2 update issues don't just affect PC, console users are also having freezing issues.

  • @EA_Atic It is random for me. Different maps, different timing: middle of the game, the very end of the game (end of round screens). It never happens when I am in the menu.
    Also, there was a period that it became "stable" - I could play for a few hours in a row. I even thought that you guys fixed something on the server-side.
    So, the frequency changes from every 5 minutes to once in a few hours, but it still crashes.
  • I've uninstalled the game now, it's crashing all the time and is just unplayable.

    With all the issues facing BF 2042, the crashing is making a dwindling player base even smaller.
