Welcome to the club. They haven't even acknowledged it's a problem!
I've spent hours with EA technical "support", who are an absolute joke to say the least.
This is gonna sound crazy, but ive tried updating everything,and talking to support including getting rather hateful with them. Today I switched my graphics card to an old 3870 and guess what. The **bleep** ran, it ran badly but it ran with no crashes. Im wondering if my 6970s bad or are the 13.9 drivers different for a 3870 and 6970. what do you guys think. how can i test my 6970.

Please try turning off Ambient Occlusion, as suggested by lxgfusionfoe before (thanks!) over here:
- Right click on desktop-> Nvidia Control panel
- From 3D Settings go to Manage 3D settings
- In the Global Settings tab, set the Ambient occlusion to Off
- In the Program Settings tab, set the Ambient occlusion to Off
It was already off, just patch it already EA/Dice. No reason I should have to play sub-par graphics to avoid a crash you DIDN'T FIX DURING BETA, MIND YOU IS WHY I GOT PREMIUM IN THE FIRST PLACE, PRE-ORDERED!!! when my pc can run ULTRA just fine...I get the best ultra graphics experience on singleplayer, which is extremely beutiful, you sure know your graphics, best graphics on a game i've ever seen, but WHY Should I REDO A DAMN LEVEL and have my IMMERSION RUINED by a random-ass DIRECT X NOT SUPPORTED crash, heh...immersion, why I got a pc is the first place....Why the FBLEEPCK do I have to be REMINDED OF REAL LIFE just because of YOUR FBLEEPINGCKING BUG YOU HAVE NOT UP TIL NOW GIVEN A BLEEP ABOUT.
I found my problem with this error yesterday, and id like to formally apologize to EA for being an **bleep**. Turns out my card was overheating. Played for about 3 hours now with no problems. Its a beautiful game.
really!!!!!, it needs to be PATCHED!!!!!!!
