Smaddeus, Sorry, just offering suggestions. I have found that the game will freeze and crash with either DX11 or DX12. I will include a screen shot (once again, no offense) for you to peruse. However, I did experience a freeze and crash event today. But, only one. With this memory "cleaner" you can choose when the "standby purge list" gets cleared by entering a "at least " size and when "Free memory is lower than". I have chosen the list size is at least 4096 and free memory drops below 3800. You can also open it and do a manual standby list purge. I offer this information not as definite fix for the problem. Different circumstances exist for different users. Windows also takes up a significant amount of RAM. I have checked those items you list such as memory usage, etc. But that is a "slice in time" view. Very high resource usage by BFV.exe does not mean "nothing'" in my opinion. It means that BFV is creating a heavy load on the system. But, I am not an expert as you apparently are. Again, I have attached a screen shot (as best i could manage with EAs size restriction) so you can see for yourself what this memory cleaner does. It is also dynamic in that it keeps an eye on memory consumption and will simply clear the standby list.
I did open up resource monitor and did see that there usually is more than enough memory available. And as it turns out, the memory cleaner is not the solution. So, that leaves me and a lot of other folks still waiting for EA to offer up some other possible fixes other than graphics settings. I have changed my graphics settings so many times (following advice in this forum) without solving the problem permanently. Repairing the game doesn't seem to work for very long. Uninstalling both Origin and BFV doesn't seem to fix the problem either. But, I agree with you now that it doesn't seem to be a memory resource issue either. So, I'm still searching for that elusive answer as to why this happens on my system. I have two PC's. The one I usually play BFV on which is a newer and more powerful gaming system than my older "Piledriver" CPU w/RX390 AMD system. The older system is SHD specs. It can do 1440p at 144hz. But, I have become very fond of UHD at 2160p and 60hz on a 28" AOC monitor. But to my point about these systems: I have never experienced a freeze and crash event on the older system. Just the newer one. I am using DX12 on the older system as well. But, I don't play very often on the older system so not crashing may just due to my not playing on that PC unless my main one is down for some reason. So, the search of an answer to this goes on....and on...and on....
I have a msi 2080ti gaming trio X which is factory overclocked, i play @ 3840X2160 as well @@ 60hz on a benQ monitor.DLSS and DXR on.. .. and i have the same exact issue as i read here.. its been a couple months now, since the pacific storm update to be exact... what i have done though, is use afterburner to downclock the card about -5mhz, and ive been able to play for about a hour or two without crashing.... it crashes about 5-10 minutes into the game with the gpu clocks left @ stock... good luck, and i hope they resolve this issue too at the soonest as its rather frustrating!
Well, I can tell you that the fix I had hoped would work...didn't. There seems to be some sort of memory issue going on. As, event viewer almost always shows that BFV.exe caused an exception. Also, I have noticed that the frequency of this event seems to have gone up since the last update. We can all hope that EA/Dice and/or Microsoft figure this one out. I'm going to get RDR for sure now...lol.
The issue still persist on my end, but it's much less frequent and I can play hours without issues. Today I had only once this issue, but I was playing with DX11 not 12. With DX12 I still have to test and try out, but I was too tired of EA's and DICE's issues in their prematurely released games that I didn't wanted to bother anymore and finally enjoy the game, which I did. Today only twice the game crashed in 5-6h gameplay time. A lot of people find problem solved with XMP turned off, that wasn't case for me. For me I have no idea what helped.
Smadeus: I have the memory cleaner set to: Free Memory is at 20959 and list size is at least: 7096. But, I can't say this working for me. Today I got RDR installed and played and it too crashed. Also, BFV has gotten worse. I am now experiencing a complete crash of the system so that I have to reboot. I also installed the latest AMD driver 19.12.2. It could be the AMD driver. But, I don't think so. As I have posted in the past; I have tried just about every settings configuration there is. Without success. And it does seem that the game is crashing more frequently since the last update. I guess we'll all have to keep working on this issue since EA/Dice don't seem to be very concerned about it.
