After upgrading to Windows 10 I was able to play multiple matches of Battlefield 4 and 1 with no crashes at all. It seems my issue is finally resolved.
@mwc12000 If not done do this for settings ans try a clean boot to see if you get this Direct x crash other than this when you redid your video card did you do the steps I posted ?
Run the game as Administrator:
Go to the Origin games folder (C:\Program Files (x64)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4) and find Bf4.exe. Right click it and go to PROPERTIES, then COMPATIBILITY and check the box next to RUN THIS PROGRAM AS ADMINISTRATOR.
Do the same with BF4_x86.exe as well.
Run Origin as Administrator:
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin and right click on Origin.exe and go to properties. Then go to compatibility tab and check the box next to RUN AS ADMIN.
Disable Origin in game:
In Origin - Application settings - Origin in Game - disable Origin in game
Origin Cloud Storage turn it off
Origin, settings, General
Make Sure BF4 is set to 64bit if your windows is 64bit
1- open origin and go to My Games
2-Right click BF4 and go to Game Properties
3-Under when launching this game set it to x64 and check off disable origin in game.
4- Hit apply REBOOT your PC and then test your BF4
Reboot PC test BF4
If you still crash see information below....
Try a clean boot : run a Clean Boot: https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/kb/929135 >This should ensure that no programs are interfering in the background.
Below are programs known to make issues in BF4
Disable Mantle if you have it and try Direct X, Turn OFF Anti-Aliasing Deferred in video card settings in game. If you have page file turned off then turn it back on as this can make errors even with 32gigs ram.
Others have said if they uninstall MSI Afterburner issues / crashing is stopped. So if you have this installed remove program and test BF4. Also look at other programs as Asus Game First Service...ROG Game First , Razer synapse, Razer Cortex, Qualcomm Killer Service , Fraps, EVGA Precision, Geforce experience, be sure to turn off the streaming function that is enabled by default ,Raptr, RivaTuner , ASRock eXtreme Tuner, Steam, Skype, aero ,Overwolf extra program in teamspeak and xfire are known to make issues as well. And I am sure more programs not in my list yet turn one off at a time and test BF4.
Uninstall the HD Audio Driver from the video card driver install add/remove programs. This silly thing makes issues in BF4 for some. Reboot then repair BF4 to be safe.
If all this fails to fix it then try this...
C:\Users\your PC Name\Documents\Battlefield 4
BF4 folder in my documents holds game configs and screen shots even if BF4 is installed on different drive. When you uninstall BF4 it does NOT remove this folder. So when you install the game again you can still have the same issues. Even if its not a new install it is still worth trying as the game cfg could be mucked up.
1- Go to my Documents and remove BF4 folder place it on your Desktop for now.
2- Be warned you do have to set up your in game settings again.
3-Repair BF4
4- When done go test your game. If it fails reboot your PC and run repair game again and test BF4.
Thanks for the reply. I still am unable to stop the DirectX Error.
-What I have tried now:
Running BF4 and Origin as Administrator (There was no change)
Running in a Clean Boot (The game lasted a lot longer then usual but still in the end crashed)
Uninstalling Razor Synapse (There was no change) (Also I don't think its an application problem because the game used to run fine with all those listed applications I have and the clean boot still crashed)
-Things that I had already done
Disabled Origin in game (Its been disabled since before I owned BF4)
Set BF4 to 64bit (It was running like that as default)
One thing I do remember is when I used to launch BF4 (before it started crashing) the background of the loading screen to get to menu that would say "Welcome to your Battlefield..." and "Preparing an experience for you" would always be black but when the crashes started happening the proper background appeared again (I think from a menu update). Another thing is when I get in a game the details of the textures seem to take longer to render then they used too (I'm not completely sure of this. It just seems to take longer then I remember). All this leads me to believe an update to the game may have caused this since the game never crashed before I tried playing in April. My GPU (Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition) I believe shipped with a boost which could be the cause since many people say its caused by overclocking but I don't know how low I would need to underclock it to test that. Also no other game I have ever played including other DICE games like Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2 get DirectX crashes. The only games that do are BF4 and BF1 (BF1 never seemed to work without crashing but it was a different DirectX crash up until BF4 started crashing which now it also crashes with the same DirectX error listed in my first post.). This further makes me think this came from an update to the game. I have also tired launching the game from the website it used to run on (Battlelog) but it still crashes there. If anyone knows any solutions to this problem please provide the solution. Thank you.
Yeah I'm pretty sure this is just a problem with an update to the game since my drivers are installed fine my cards clock matches the specs on the manufacturers website and it still crashed in a clean boot and no other game has the problem but Battlefield 1 and Battlefield 4.
