Game crashes or gets stuck when joining multiplayer

Heychadwick,  I was not able to play any single player or multiplayer, I think you may have something else going on.  I would look to see if your security software is blocking BF5, may just have to give it permission or  run it as administrator.  try to disable the in-game voip, and delete the BF5 folder in your documents.  If none of that works, read up about disabling the XMP profile in your bios settings.  I really hope this helps.

@heychadwick 

please try to switch over to DX11, if you have your DX12 enable. 

Best regards!

I tried the DX11 fix that everyone says to try for BF1.  I went into the PROSAVE_profile, but DX12 was already 0.

I don't think it's an issue with anything blocking BF5.  I understand why you think it might, but there are two ways the game fails.   The first is a dump to desktop that happens half the time.  The other is after it hits the server page....and then fails.  I don't think I would even get to the server page if it was a n/w block.  

I have run as admin.  I have disabled VOIP in game.  I have deleted the BF5 folder.  Nothing works.  

Yeah, I can't get this game to work.  It's been since Tuesday of last week.  Still zero progress.  I have no idea what to try at this point.  I am UTTERLY FRUSTRATED.  I've played through the solo games several times now.   

@heychadwick,

When you try to join Multiplayer, are you Quickmatching, or using Server Browser?

There are some known issues listed under PC and Servers:

Thanks for the response as it's the only one I got today.

The issue happens if I Quick Launch or if I pick from Server screen.   Half the time it crashes to desktop and the other it hangs once it gets to the server screen.  This makes me think it's not a connection issue, but I know some games are weird.

I looked at that reddit thread and there are a few things that seem like it could match for hanging on server screen, but not quite a perfect match.   Nothing talks about crashing to desktop.  

I'll have to try those other steps, like clearing cache and turning off the Overlays.  

OK....manually uninstalled Origins.   

Reinstalled Origins.    Turned off Overlay

Turned off GeForce Overlay.   There are new drivers!!!!   I'm installing them.    

My son has Discord on this box, so I am going to turn that off, too.

Gotta run off to Boy Scouts as I'm kind of in charge.   I'll have to try this when done.

Hope it works!!!
