Battlefield 1 has stopped working
Greetings Helpers, It seems I'm not the first person to experience this issue, and it seems to be a very generic issue with a thousand causes, so at this point I am looking for any and all suggestio...
Forum Discussion
First of all, thanks for the very well written post. Such details make me happy 🙂
Does it happen in any other games? What other workloads have you tested with? Other games? This is kinda important if we are to make hardware instability a less likely cause.
The different causes for the BF1 crashes mentioned in Dxdiag could suggest a general instability. Since BF1 is very happy with maxing out both GPU and CPU, a guess could be that your power supply (PSU) gets unstable after a while on maximum power draw from both GPU and CPU.
Since AM4 is a new platform I would probably also run memtest just to be sure it's not a memory compatibility issue.
You may be on to something there Carbonic, I went into my settings and set my RAM to a different XMP profile, the game now lasts twice as long before crashing, same "has stopped working" error, with the log reading:
Faulting application name: bf1.exe, version: 1.0.50.33312, time stamp: 0x596416b9
Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 10.0.15063.447, time stamp: 0xa329d3a8
Exception code: 0xc0000374Unfortunately this "ntdll.dll" is another very generic error with a thousand and one causes haha. I have ran a number of benchmark programs in both DX11 and DX12 and haven't been able to replicate these crashes, which had lead me to believe this was something more than a GPU issue. I will run memtest and see if I can't find any problems.
One step closer to a solution hopefully!
Well it seems I've gone one step forward and two steps back. Shortly after my last post I began to experience the same crashes with the same d3d11.dll or bf1.exe. Eager to determine if this was a system instability issue or something related specifically to this game I did some tests.
Battlefield 1 crashes after an hour of play.
Crysis 3 runs on ultra settings for at least 4 hours without any issues. (after 4 hours I had to stop to eat food)
Both the "Heaven" and "Valley" Direct X 11 Benchmarks both run problem free for at least 2 hours each. GPU temperatures never go above 70 degrees Celsius.
Other popular online games run for extended periods of time without issue.
Battlefield 4 crashes after an hour of play.
In fact Battlefield 1 and 4 will crash after an hour even if I just leave it on the main menu, without ever having joined a game. I receive a "Your graphics card has been removed or a driver update has occured." error (but no update has occurred of course). Followed by a "Battlefield 1 has stopped working".
There is something about the latest Battlefield games that my computer really doesn't like. Or vice versa.
Back to the drawing board! I feel I may end up having to wait for a game update or a newer Nvidia driver to be released.
How much CPU and GPU does the Battlefield games use when you play?
Did the benchmarks and other games have similar usage?
What about CPU temperatures?
