Hey! I've been searching the web trying to find help with this problem but everyone seems to have different solutions for it, and none of them have helped me so far. About 5-20 minutes into to game...

    Hey Everyone,

    I had this issue after coming back from a long hiatus of BF3.  I was able to fix it by doing the following:

    - Shut down MSI Afterburner (or whatever OSD (On Screen Display) software you use like EVGA Precision)

    - Uninstalled MSI Afterburner via Uninstall Progams in Control Panel.  *SELECT NO when uninstall software asks if you want to save profiles/data*

    - Deleted MSI Afterburner in Program Files directory

    - Restarted PC

    - Launch Origin/BF3 and play!

    Kudos to maniacvvv on the evga forums for coming up with the work around.  He said you can reinstall your OSD software after this, but I haven't done it yet.

     

    Edit:  BF3 just crashed again after an hour of playing... bah.  This game is crap.

    Hey, C'mon!   Who is it that you think you are writing to in here?  This isn't EA Help here.  EA isn't in here, the forum members are who we are.  We don't do any business in AHQ, no buying, no selling, no official EA anything.  AHQ is a gamer to gamer self-help forum, only.  

    EA's official support is elswhere:

    (There is a Maxis employee reading some SimCity game threads and making some comments, but the official EA Game Adviser techs are all on EA Help.)
