Hi there
I tried 3 of your suggestions and it partially solved my problems (crash-rate is much lower now):
1) Updated punkbuster - my path was pointing towards the bf4 beta as you descriped. In the games directory (...battlefield 4\pb) all files was from 30 oct 13. I guess that was from the original installation of bf4. After update most of the files have got todays date. This must have changed something to the better.
2) Reduced sound quality for all my playback sound devices as descriped. I'm not sure about the impact of this, but it is a fact that DICE is going to release a new PC client around 2. dec in which some sound issues has been adressed. So maybe this reducing is part of the solution to?
3) Bf4 repair from Origin menu. It took about 10-15 minutes to complete and it said all files was ok. After that I updated punkbuster again just to be sure, but it said everything was updated already. I'm not convinced this did change anything but now its done.
By the way before all this I did uninstall bf4 beta here the other day - something I remember was recommended when bf3 was launched.
Still got some crashes mainly in the atidxx64.dll (8.17.10.525 from 13.11 beta 9.2) - but this is still a beta driver and going from not being able to play a full round to be able to play several full rounds on an evening is progress...
See you all out there on the crashfield.
Great! Hopefully you can get some xp without crashing and loosing it all! 🙂
