DirectX Error: DirectX function "Hang Detected in WaitForFrameFences."

I'm getting this DirectX error quite often. Usually when I start the game I can play 1-3 games of multiplayer and then out of nowhere the game freezes and crashes with this DirectX error. I've been getting this since the launch. Playing campaign does not have this issue.

My specs & settings:

Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, Ryzen 7 9700X, 32gb RAM

GPU Driver 581.57. Had the same issue with older version.

Graphics settings are all overkill and DLSS frame generation 4x with quality resolution upscale. I'm not really interested in trying through various graphics settings if it MAY solve this issue, so please EA fix your game.

    DirectX function "Hang Detected in waitForFrameFences. Timed out
    after 8000 ms.

  • The same problem has been occurring since the release; sometimes it lasts for several hours of gameplay, and sometimes it only lasts for a few tens of minutes. Disabling GPU acceleration plans can reduce the chance of triggering, and enabling debug mode in the NVIDIA control panel can also help, but it still cannot completely prevent it.

  • Get a refund if you can or find another game that works. EA has made it very clear they don't care about these problems as they have been going since launch. And we haven't even got a "hey we know". But plenty of skins and a shiny new store front to drain wallets
