Crash on startup after End Game patch
Looks like a true End Game for me.
I can't launch the game since last patch. I haven't seen a thread with this exact issue (but have seen it in some unreplied posts), so I'm starting a new one.
Before patch:
- Everything worked fine
During patch:
- Downloading 6.1 GB patch even though I don't have a single piece of DLC on my account
After patch:
Symptoms:
- When the game is launched it crashes immediately ("the program stopped working"), this happens most of the time for MP and everytime for campaign
- Sometimes (but very rarely) in MP it gets to loading and freezes (the game window renders the loading screen but it gets frozen after few seconds)
- After the first crash bf3.exe starts immediately frozen whithout creating a window, with 0% CPU usage and ~100MB of allocated memory. This happens until restart of Origin, after which the first problem appears again.
Unrelated issues: <= these are NOT the problems I'm having
- The one where the browser asks for update infinitely
- The one where bf3.exe doesn't even start
- The one with blank screen in russian versions of the game
Related information:
- GPU: NVIDIA GT650M
- Newest GPU drivers
- No changes in computer since last working launch of the game before patch
- Stack trace: Unhandled exception at 0x77D33675 (ntdll.dll) in bf3.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xFFFFFFF8.

in msvcr90.dll thread
- After noticing Avast's dlls in bf3's stack trace I disabled Avast, the crashes remain and it seems to crash at different points in the program because the stack trace is always different (but Avast is gone from the stack now)
- I made it to the campaing once after about 25 attempts to launch the game, after exitting it it crashes on next launch again
Unrelated information:
- Updated DirectX (even though DX updates are only for DX9 which isn't used in bf3)
Solutions tried so far: (none of these solved anything)
- Updating to beta GPU drivers
- Rerolling to older GPU drivers
- Repairing the game through Origin (the game was reported fine)
- Disabling cloud sync and deleting saves and settings
- Forcing DX10 with RenderDevice.Dx11Enable 0 in user.cfg
