Re: Game Keeps Crashing don't know what to do HELP!

I'm facing the same problem. From sunday till now i've spent 3~5 hours daily trying to fix this out, but i didn't found a solution at all.

The crash still there... and the solution?

Actually, this is not new and not as uncommon as it should be.
BF1 had it and it seems that BF5 also... a "particulary indisposition" with some windows update patches.
In my case the 10 min crash happened after the last windows update.
The same thing happened with BF1 a couple of months ago.
So you have two options:

1 - Wait till EA fix it.

2 - Windows - Start - Configuration - Updates and Security
2.1 - Windows update - Update History
2.1.1 - Uninstall Updates
2.1.1.1 - Uninstall KB4480116
Reboot.
It should solve the problem

Only settings that seem to work... I increased the power Limit and Temp limit on the GPU, and Downclocked it quite a bit, to roughly base clock. 

Runs smoothish with DXR on (low as recommended by Nvidia) 60FPS max and 1440p (quite annoying to have so low FPS with my machine), and otherwise the recommended video settings (everything in Ultra). I fiddled a bit with everything all night, that is the only settings with which I can last 2 full rounds on maps that usually crash and having seen lots of explosions. 

I'll try next without downclocking but with still the same power/temp limit... 

Very annoying but at least it runs... 

Oh! I also increased my ram to the first xmp profile, a world of difference!  

Setting a massive pagefile (also 24GB aint correct you need to set it according to the formula of 1024 x (RAM) x 1.5) In my case it meant an almost 25GB file. But that doesn't help nor dos removing some updates from Windows as this also happened before I even went to 1809 since it was delayed for me. The only thing that has direct causality for me is the activation of RTX by Nvidia in the drivers. When that driver came, the problems started for me. Problem is, if you go back on the drivers you cannot play BFV at all since it has the latest driver requirement. (you will literally get a pop up in screen to install latest GPU driver and then you can only close the game)

and it did solve the problem. Also micro stutter is gone. Thx 👍

@IGF-Honorguy

As a workaround:

Go to your "C:\Windows\System32" folder and rename the "nvapi64.dll" to "OLD_nvapi64.dll"

That should disable the driver check. (Doing it with a batch file would make this more comfortable, because the NVIDIA control panel will not work as long as the dll is renamed) 

@holger1405 doing that will result in the game saying you need to update the driver and therefore not launch.

That is strange.

I just tested it, got back to driver 390.65, from January 2018, and it worked flawless for me. 

Edit: I know you did a lot, did you also clean installed your driver using DDU?

So I just was able to reproduce the issue outside of BFV

It seems it's the drivers from Nvidia that are faulty for me. 
I ran a Furmark 3D with 4K resolution, and every other try my system will shut down, in GPU-Z as soon as the load on the GPU is 100% (or a little above I suspect) it crashes. 
With older drivers 411.70 the GPU never reaches that point and instead the FPS lower... It seems BFV with its explosions and all suddenly gives load spikes that go beyond that limit... 

I'll bring it up with NVidia and see what they say, the odd thing is it only concerns some cards not all...

It finally crashed with the old driver. 
I installed the Hotfix 417.58, same issue, looks like it'll be RMA for me. Don't know what's wrong but something is...

I believe it when I see it.

Surprise Surprise - the patch did absolutely NOTHING in terms of crashing.

Same old story - Picture Freezes, Sound dies shortly after - then the game closes and i'm on my Desktop again.

Thank you Dice for ignoring us.

Ahahahaha. Just logged in after the patch and crashed in first 2 min. Weeeeeeee.

@EA_Blueberry

We want a DETAILED status update - including analysis information from the DEVELOPERS - RIGHT NOW.

Get on it.

The patch (probably) solved it for me. I've been able to play 4 rounds in a row while I used to crash within minutes. However, I do not dare to be confident the issues are resolved for me. It may be temporarily.

In other news, it appears that a new group is facing the same issues we've already been dealing with. EA points to microsoft and microsoft to EA. Given this issue with the KernelBase is only BFV, I think we all know who we need to look at for a solution 🙂

Can't finish like 75% of matches because of crashes...

@SterlingARCH3R Just posted an extremely helpful article at the top of the page. Would you mind trying the recommendations in there to see if it helps prevent crashing?

Alright guys, I sorta found a fix, though not a particularly good one. If I keep the game in windowed mode and scale that window down to something like 55%-60% I'm able to play at least a round. Any larger than this and I start crashing again. Any thoughts on why this could be the case? 

I don't have much time to play tonight, so I'll try to stress test it this weekend. 

Can you guys enable crash dump for bfv,exe - follow the below instriongs:

Tell Windows to automatically collect a crash dumps and store it in "%LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps" by running the following commands in an administrator command prompt :

reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps\bfv.exe" /v DumpType /d 1 /t REG_DWORD

Use ur application as usually to reproduce the crash, once crash occurs let all Windows crash dialogs finish processing.
Go to "%LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps" and locate the latest dump file. Once you have the dump file you can rar it and attach it to ur next post, or upload it to some file-hosting cloud/server and give us a link.

You can run the following command to revert back dump collection to its original state:

reg delete "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps\bfv.exe" /f

(You can read more about Windows user-mode dump collection here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/wer/collecting-user-mode-dumps )

Then once you have 2-3 mini dumps ccreated afte tthe game crahes, upload them somewhere so I can  download them and look into the kernel debugger. I want to correlate if these are all related to what I think it is.

Was able to get a couple rounds of squad conquest in this morning and halfway through the 4th round it crashed. Haven't played in a couple weeks and I can't say that I'm surprised it's still absolutely
