Re: Battlefield 3 multiplayer crash after 5 minutes

when game crash you see bf3 in a task manager running? do you get into desktop when crash "stopped working" ?

Well on my previous windows 7 yes. As i installed a fresh copy, it just freezes, the normal windows mouse pionter shows, i clack twice and it just shows the desktop again. But i got that message, bf3 has stopped working. Check online for a solution or close program

hey your audio is not realtek?

Hi, so i just checked to confirm. When it crashes, it gives me the message that it stopped working but it appears as "Running", not as " Not responding".

Yes, my audio driver is Realtek now, on my previous windows i used line 6. That-s a USB guitar adapter and also acts as an external sound card

3: Game Crash / Install / Stability Issues.

Realtek Audio Bug:


1) Rigth Click on the Speaker icon.
2) Right click "Speakers" and select properties.
3) Advanced tab (far right)
4) Uncheck "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device".

BF3 PC Lockup / Freeze - with looping audio:


Cause: BF3 bug with onboard (motherboard) audio.

Fix: Install a separate soundcard & use that. Disable onboard audio in BIOS.
*Note users on EA UK forums have had success with Creative X-FI cards. (No game freezes)

Nvidia 560/570 Freezing / Graphics Issues Fix:


1) Update to LATEST Nvidia Drivers
2) Turn OFF - AA - DEFERED
3) Turn OFF - VSYNC
4) Turn OFF - Motion Blur

Nvidia 560 Ti Lockup / Freeze:


1.Go to your card manufacturers website. (E.g. Gigabyte, MSI, Asus etc)
2.Select your card type (E.g. GTX 560Ti)
3.Download the latest BIOS for the card
4.Flash it (Install, it's usually an .exe file)
5.Reboot (Most will prompt you to do it automatically)
6.Frag away.

AMD/ATI 6770m Game Crash with BF3 still running in background (possibly other AMD gfx cards too)



-Load up single player.
-Under options disable Anti Aliasing ( AA deferred )
*Best to disable AA post as well.

-Download the LATEST drivers from your laptops manufacturers site.

-Save & exit.
-Multiplayer should now work. The game shouldnt crash to desktop.

*Can confirm this works as It was discovered while trying to solve the issue with a laptop running BF3.

I found the solution for the problem with G73 from ASUS with ATI RADEON HD5series.
In fact you need to get a proper drivers from ASUS web site and not from AMD ....

Flash you graphics with "93vBIOSa.rar" .... find it on google.
Then deinstall ATI CATALYST preview install. CCLEANER DRIVER SWEEPER.

Install this release of CATALYST.

Graphics Cards Crashing:


-This is common with graphics cards that are factory overclocked or have been overclocked by the user.

-Simple fix is to turn down the MHz (underclock).
*Estimate 40-100 MHz.

-Try turning the frequency down, until you hit a setting where the game runs nicely without lockups/crashes.

ASUS Cards - End of round crash issue:

PROBLEM: Crashing at the end of every round (BF3.exe has stopped working) just before the scores come up and not being able to play single player.

SOLUTION: If you own an ASUS card (ATi or NV) and you installed the 'Smart Doctor' and/or 'ASUS Gamer' software then this is what's VERY likely causing you end of round crashes. All you need to do is uninstall Smart Doctor and ASUS Gamer, restart your computer and reinstall your video card drivers - that's it!!!

New Graphics Settings Not Displaying After Change ?


Press the Windows Key to force the game to Window Mode, click on the game window to go back into the game. New settings should now be applied.
If this doesnt work. Try exiting the game and starting it again

I tried to undeclock my video card, it came OC from factory. Still nothing. Jesus Christ, who the **bleep** made this game so hard to play? I read there are alot of guys with the same issue. EA really dosent give a crap about us? I also unticked that one in Realtek advanced option. What should i do now?
