New Nvidia GeForce Drivers out. May solve some issues. 331.82

I've had the DirectX error "GetDeviceRemovedReason" crash since the release of Retail(Not in Beta). So far I haven't received the patch in messing around for about an hour. Might give it a try and see if it works for you.

What I did☹️Might not be neccessary to do everything for you other than installing the new drivers)

1) Download the new drivers(331.82) then restart

while in Safe Mode(F8)

2) uninstall drivers using DDU

3) restart

4) back into Safe Mode and installed 331.82

5) Restart into normal mode

6) Delete all files inside the "Origin Games/Battlefield 4/_Installer/directx/redist" folder

7) Repair the game by right clicking on game while in origin(Let it finish repairing.

8) going into the "Origin Games/Battlefield 4/_Installer/directx/redist" folder and installing the "DXSETUP".

9) Restart then playing the game.

Like I said you... you may not have to do all these steps, but this is what worked for me after downloading the new drivers(331.82). I also have a file in the battlefield 4 game folder that caps my in-game FPS at 60(gives me 60 all the time).  So far no issues when I would crash every 5-10 minutes before with the "GetDeviceRemovedReason" DirectX error.


Good luck. I will update if I have the crash again.
