@holger1405 how do you know its all of our systems? Thats a pretty HUGE assumption when you have 40 pages of multiple people. How about the people who have done weeks of testing and guaranteed stability of their system through multiple tests. Are you blaming them?
Sure no software company guarantees that their software will work on every device. But they have a responsibility to investigate to the best of their ability until they are able to eliminate themselves out of the equation. You would have a case if this was some one off issue. This is not... this has 40 pages of ppl trying to investigate.
There is no way you can blame hardware/software on all 40 pages of ppl experiencing this without looking into a few cases and analyzing dumps and having developers look into it. Does it really feel like this is the best of their ability?
As for the forum... this is the designated place to report problems which people have. If EA can't coordinate support for their own game... well damn... thats pretty bad.

No, it is a logical conclusion.
This games runs on my system (And many others) = there is a specific configuration on other systems that leads to problems.
This can be a specific hard or software configuration, or a hardware or software (driver) malfunction/incompatibility, there are many possible reasons, some may not even be influenceable, but they are on the system the game crashes.
@holger1405 So EA bares no responsibility to investigate compatibility issues and work out problems with other vendors? Just because it runs fine on your system that leads you to the conclusion that others don't matter and is not worth investigating?
If there is a specific config where it leads to problems, shouldn't EA find out and investigate some of those configurations and warn people that it may be buggy? Shouldn't this be added to a known issues list that they are experiencing problems with certain setups? If it was a hardware or driver level issue, shouldn't EA help find that out, be responsible, and inform the hardware company there may be a problem with how the game is working with that driver? They just want to sit back and let other companies investigate crashes or should it be a joint effort?
Anyways arguing with you can go on forever so not worth to continue this. But the point is clear... just because it works for some people doesn't mean they don't have to look into all the cases where it's failing and investigate. If they don't investigate, they won't even know if its them or something else causing it. There's a reason EA has the reputation it has... and this is simply another case of it.
Back to a EA free life for me. Good luck everyone who has been sticking it out and trying all kinds of techniques to get this thing to work properly.
