This Problem is still ongoing.
I've been tinkering for weeks now to narrow down the cause, and can rule out any hardware issue. This led to the conclusion, that DX12 won't run any longer then two hours (at best), often just a few Minutes. No errormessage, just a plain CTD following a stutter, no windows eventlog entry, just a bunch of crashdumps have accumulated in the crashdumps directory.
Btw, ultrafrustrating job to "debug" it. Change something, play, hope, crash, rage. I don't want to do that anymore, and hand this issue over to EA Software QA.
Rig tested with:
X470 Board Asus Crosshair VII Hero
Ryzen 2700x
32GB TridentZ B-Die Ram
NV 1080ti
Current WIn10 1903.
Tried various NV Driver versions, it feels like older drivers take a bit longer to crash, but this could be coincident as well.
Even tried clean Win10, only chipset driver + nv driver installed.
Tested with all stock settings as well as well dialed OC settings.
Sure we have DX11 as fallback, but it comes with a significant FPS penalty and doesn't feel as ultracrisp as DX12. (DX11 runs at 80-90FPS on low, DX12 at 140FPS (all at uwqhd). Pretty sure, this happens to everyone, and most people simple put on DX11 without complaining. Anyhow, I feel unsafe buying a 2080ti now for having RTX, since DX12 has proven not to work reliable for BFV.
Since this game is in the market for 9 Month now, is there any chance that this will be fixed? This is the maximum annoyance. Really.
thx
Lephist0, you did all right man. I also tried a lot before I came to the same conclusions. It seems you and I have come very close to solving the problem, but I do not know exactly where to look further. What it looks like now:
- I can play Battlefield 5 in DX11 for more than 4+ hours without a single crash.
- If I play Battlefield 5 in DX12 after another game, such as Battlefield 1, Anthem or Assassin Creed, I get a crash after 10-30 minutes.
- If I restart Windows, immediately turn on Origin and then Battlefield 5 - I can play in DX12 mode for almost 3 hours without crashing. After which the game will definitely get a crash.
As a result, the conclusion is that the crash problem is caused by working with DRAM or VRAM, caused by video drivers or the game engine itself.
I can play Battlefield 5 in DX12 mode as follows - at the moment when I want to play BF5, I restart Windows, then I start BF5 and play for almost 3 hours, after which the game crashes around that time. After which I restart Windows again and continue to play.
It seems to me that the problem is caused by the DRAM or VRAM memory, therefore, we need a program that can flush the DRAM and VRAM memory after 2 hours in the background of the game. And this will help to play for more than 2-3 hours in BF5 in DX12 mode.
... Or finally ask the developers for a patch!
Just got a 2080ti, same sh$&. No matter if with or without RTX, BFV with DX12 enabled simply doesn't run stable. No matter what Hardware. It simply does not work
NV Driver: 431.60
Dice, can you, please? Every other publisher is able to bring a decent stability into their AAA Titles.
Lephist0, Have you tried playing with DX12 in the way I described above? I can play BF5 for 2 hours in DX12 mode with 99.9% stability. But as a rule, if you play 3 or more hours,you'll get a crash.
So whats about 2080 Ti? How much later crash happens on this card? 2080 Ti has 11GB of VRAM, and 1080 - only 8GB. So theoretically, if the error is related to VRAM, then the crash at 2080 should occur later.
If the crash time is equal for both cards, then this may be a problem with the CPU. In this case, we need to check the game in DX12 mode on the newest processor possibly and with best DDR4 memory.
@lNTERACTiVEI had a 1080ti, it has 11GB as well...
Only good thing about the 2080ti is that it compensates for the fps penalty on DX11. Expensive Workaround.
