BFV and Windows 1909

So mine started crashing around November 2019 update (Windows 1909). I decided to rebuild the PC, formatted the drives, installed fresh new Windows 1909, newest Nvidia 441.20. Game crashed when you join multiplayer (start game, not just menu). No error thrown, other than nvwgf2umx.dll. Best part, I did this on TWO Separate PCs! (my backup gaming PC was overdue)...

Same behavior, two freshly installed Windows 10 PCs and BFV. Totally different hardware, Nvidia card, etc. ...

So has anyone figured (or at least reported the issue to BF Devs), because crap like CC Cleaner is sure not relevant...?!

    @Euro968 I had this happen as well. Only a reboot of the system let me in. Also a display driver error would pop up in the notification bar of windows on the right.

    @KanaWolf @Euro968 

    This is potentially due to your GPU being factory or manually overclocked. Try running the GPU at stock clock speed and let us know if that improves stability.

    Thanks.

    My BFV, which has worked on this PC since launch last year fine, has been crashing since Windows 1909. I reinstalled PC with new OS (still Windows 1909) from scratch, only Nvidia and BFV loaded, cant get into the game. Crashes right away. Tonight got the preview build Windows 19013. Played for an hour before crash. Crashed with memory leak error... Small steps 🙂

    @Euro968 odd problem but nothing that cant be fixed with some digging? I would have a closer look at what Barry suggested. There is multiple reports of factory overclocked 10&20-series NV cards working better if they are down-clocked.

    Use an app like GPU-z or If possible could you roll back to a previous version of Windows just to be sure. Also on a new installation make sure sub-systems like MS .netframe works and is updated and active and no Windows features are removed? And if possible test other cable(s) and other ports on and with the PSU or test another PCI-e slot.

    Sounds very much like Republican defense of Trump: Doesn't matter that the PC works fine with everything else but this game, let's check the cables and OC?!

    @Euro968 yes, The only thing that you can be sure off is to remove client side / user error.

    1] BFV is the most demanding game out there and draws a lot of power / resources, if lacking it can and will cause problems

    2]1909 might not be tested / compatible as of yet? To be sure just roll back or find out what change in 1909 created this mess

    I appreciate you trying... Since I rebuild my PC, I don't have that option, I am not going to be rebuilding it with Windows 8... I will though fix it and share the knowledge, because more and more players will be upgrading, sooner or later. In the meantime, is there any way to bump up the logging? Windows logs no errors on crash, Origin does not either and BFV does not... Any way to change that?

    Thanks!
