This is the same comment I posted on Steam. This solution works, at least for me and other users: by plugging a USB flash drive into the back of the motherboard—specifically into the port used to update the BIOS—the game does not freeze. The integrated GPU has always been disabled; I have never enabled it. It may sound strange, but it works. I’ve been playing for hours now, and I can assure you it’s not a coincidence. I tried playing after unplugging the USB flash drive, and the game crashes after about 15–20 minutes, forcing me to restart the system. It’s worth a try
Thank you XxSerpico074xX
Today i disabled iGPU to check if the game had been fixed.
Well no, freeze within 10 minutes.
So i tried the USB flash drive method.
And that one seems to be working also.
Could play 2 conquest games without any freeze.
That fix i like more because i can keep iGPU disabled.
Still i want a real fix from EA.
I can also confirm that the USB stick on the BIOS Update port trick DID WORK FOR ME! Tried everything (BIOS update, fresh Windows Install, Load BIOS defaults, removed UV and OC from everything) and before that, enabling the iGPU was the only way to keep the game from crashing at 10-15 minutes mark.
