Battlefield V crash to Desktop when setting custom resolution

I have a Samsung Q9FN connected via HDMI2.0 to my PC (Win10 + GTX2080TI). I am running a custom resolution - 1440p @ 120Hz and every other game is running fine. BFV also USED to work, but now it cras...

    @SnakeEyesPC ,

    Thanks for the link, many useful tips!

    What I find strange is that all the resolutions work, 4K, 1440p, 1080p, but none work with 120Hz (1080p or 1440p).

    I actually managed to get it to work now. What I did was the following: 

    1) Did a clean windows boot to prevent unnecessary apps or services to start up.

    2) Set windows resolution to 1440p @ 119Hz (custom resolution)

    3) Started BFV and set Resolution to 1440p @ 60Hz + Apply

    4) In BFV video settings, set resolution to 1440p @ 119Hz -----> Crash! to Windows.

    5) In Windows, I did NOT start the nvidia Control Panel, but I right-clicked the desktop and opened display adapter properties.

    6) In display adapter properties I unticked "hide unsupported modes" (?) and selected 120Hz

    7) Fired up BFV and selected 1440p @ 120Hz resolution and happy days!

    I have no idea what did it, but now it works for now..

    For future reference I think it is useful to create 2 custom resolutions, 1440p @ 119Hz and 1440p @ 120Hz. BFV is picky, and sometimes one can work and not the other.
