Dude, you should get a free lifetime subscription for BF licenses!
I spent 3 weeks and $400 in upgrades to try to fix a sudden flurry of DirectX crash freeze error problems after the January 14 patch release. It even happened when I was the Commander. I couldn't play, and none of the normal troubleshooting techniques helped. Nothing worked until I saw your post.
Now that I've fixed the problem with Option Number 2, I seem to recall turning Origin In Game off because I don't use it. After, a few small Origin windows would pop up under my frozen game screen on occasion, and I never correlated the two because I thought it was the game causing the crash, not Origin.
Unbelieveable man, simply genius post. Thank you.
