I noticed that the DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED or DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG crashes were after a brief slowdown when there was mass respawns or objective changes (primarily in single player). I think its essentially getting out of sync with video driver when its suddenly too bogged down (crazy hypothesis). Dropping the video cards core and memory clocks by 10 in MSI afterburner seeeems (may be luck/placebo/anecdotal) to have stabilised the game. It now makes it through the freezing/microstutter/gelatinous moments without a crash.
In short: Crashing? Try slow your video card down a tiny tiny bit with msi afterburner.
My game is CONSTANTLY CRASHING. I can't stay in a server more than a few minutes. At least I know it is not ONLY ME and a few friends of mine. I spend more time waiting to get back into a server than actually playing. I have sent over 30 crash reports with not so much as a peep out of EA/Dice tech support. Anyone have a working solution because EA GAMES SUPPORT IS AS WORTHLESS AS TITS ON A BORE HOG! I mean WORTHLESS! As much money as they made on this game, you would expect a bang up tech support team. Nothing could be further from the truth. It appears as if they are silent because THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT and they are hoping that someone will come up with a fix for them. I love the game, WHENEVER I can actually play it (approx. 10 mins/hour) or less. Spend so much time getting back into a server only to crash again. I would appreciate any help although it appears that everyone on this post is in the same boat. I have tried so many different things but none of them have been any type of real fix. Last night I actually stayed on for an hour solid. I went to Geoforce Experience and redownloaded the latest vid driver, (which was initially installed the day before) then I allowed it to "optimize" the game and then entered the game from the "play" button in that Nvidia program. It worked great. However, tonight, fresh start, entered the game the same way and CRASH city over and over and over. Fed up with this total lack of support. I am close to demanding a refund and going back to BF-1 dealing with all of the hackers
