I do have problems with Siege of Shanghai. After joining my game will freeze in a few minutes, no matter if the skyscraper is up or down.I tried updating punkbuster manually, but no succes. It appears to be only on Siege of Shanghai, as I can play other maps much longer.This is my System:i5 3570K, GTX 660 Ti, 16GB RAM331.65Windows 7 SP1, 64-bit

Siege of Shanghai is kind of a "know to be bugged" map... For what I've heard, this happens to a lot of players.I have the same problem with it, only not every time, but I'd say about half of the times it just randomly dies, playing in Ultra or the lowest settings... It's just amazingly random.My specs: i7 920G.Skill Ripjaws 8gb 2300mhz x2 (16gb total)Gigabyte GTX 660ti 3gbGigabyte EX58-UD3R (rev. 1.6)

Happens to me too, after 3-5 minutes.Glad I paid for this buggy piece of **bleep**, especially when it goes on sale immediately after I purchased it. I can see why EA won that worst company award.

i crash when i load the map first time then after some few rounds then crash again

I'm having this problem too. The game audio will start looping and the screen will freeze at seemingly random times only on Shanghai, requiring a task manager force-quit. This happens regardless of the state of the levolution skyscraper and regardless of whether I'm playing as a soldier or commander. Sometimes this will happen several minutes into the match, sometimes as soon as I try to spawn after connecting.

Ditto. Only crashes on shanghai and does it without fail. Cannot have a full round of Shanghai anymore.
Same Audio loop error type as mentioned by calderfield. Requires task manager force quit to get rid of it.

Exactly the same thing with me only on Siege of Shanghai map I'm running,
Intel i5-3550CPU@3.30GHz 8GB ram SLI x2 GTX 550ti and Windows 8.
All maps run fine with G-Force Experience doin the game optimizing for me but Siege just jams up my whole system and i have to restart /reboot PC.
Is there a fix for this problem or what??? I'm missing out on the best map in game.... ☹️
