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

Smaddeus: All i can tell you is that appears to work for me. My previous crash experiences happened regardless of whether I was using DX11 or DX12. Have you tried DX11? Instead of DX12. When I open task manager while BFV is running, it shows that the BFV module is using "Very High" resources. And yes, I don't have this issue with Gears 5 or other games I play. I too have a Ryzen CPU with Corsair liquid cooling. I used to get "Kernel Power Failure" several times until I upgraded my PSU to and 800 watt from a 700 watt. This memory cleaner seems to be working for me because I haven't had a "freeze and crash" event since I started using it. I also have "GPU memory restriction"  turned on in graphics settings. I am not claiming this app will solve everyone's issues regarding freeze and then crash to the desktop. But, it seems to be helping in my case. Good Luck and happy hunting for the particular issue you are having. I assume you have tried "repair" or uninstalling the game and then reinstalling it. 

@MoonUtonightLike I wrote...I tested with both DX versions, and like I wrote further, if you would have read (no offense), I asked for you to please name your parameters that you wrote in that software, or you left it on default? Because I didn't got the answer to that.

About Task Manager - "Very High" means nothing, it's not specific, and that's not what I meant by checking Task Manager.
When you open Task Manager, click on Performance and then on Memory...or, if you don't have the advanced view, open it by pressing on the arrow below that says "More details", and click on Performance and then on Memory tab on left side, everything else there is self explanatory afterwards. That's what I meant, since Very High pretty much means nothing and will show to any program that is using a lot of resources.
2nd option to check how much it fills up or eats RAM is by checking under Processes tab Memory section for BF5, how much it eats.

But this should be tested only without using that cleaner software in order to see whether it truly filled your RAM, because like I wrote, my RAM is not even 1/3 full and it crashes.

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.

The thing that got me stable for any length of time was lowering my refresh rate and fps cap from 240hz to 144hz.  Now I'm somewhat stable where before I would crash without error to desktop within minutes of being in a game.  Makes absolutely no sense.  I have zero issues in any other game that isn't BF1, 5, or Apex.

Hi everyone, I have a crash immediately upon launching the game under DirectX 12 mode with a RTX 2070. I've been playing on DirectX 12 in BFV for the last few months until now with no problems with a GTX 1070ti. Three weeks ago my GPU died on me under warranty so I sent it back and installed my old Radeon R9 290 4gb and also had zero issues playing the game in DirectX 12. Today I received a replacement GPU in the form of a MSI RTX 2070 ARMOR 8G and I can't launch the game.

I tried deleting the Origin Cache, disabling MSI Afterburner overlay/Nvidia GeForce Experience overlay, didn't matter. I also tried repairing the game via Origin. Only thing that worked was deleting the Battlefield V folder under My Documents and the game starts up no problem. However, as soon as I enable DirectX 12 and restart the game for it to take effect, same problem happens. The game will run under DirectX 11 but crashes immediately to desktop under DirectX 12. I can see a blank/white Battlefield V window pop up for a few seconds until it closes.

I don't know if it is related to the new 900 mb patch released today or my new RTX 2070. I have the newest Nvidia drivers installed, any old AMD drivers are deleted. I have no problems playing the new Call of Duty Modern Warfare on this new GPU which also uses DirectX 12.

Anyone have any ideas? Yes I can play in DirectX 11 but the performance penatly is quite big. My DxDiag is attached.

System Specs:
-MSI RTX 2070 ARMOR 8G
-i7 6700k
-32 gb DDR4 RAM
-Windows 10 Pro x64

Have any of you guys (those with a rtx card) and playing with dx12 ..down clocking your core clock about 5-10mhz ? This has worked for me and now I don't crash in bfv , all other games work fine with my oc setting besides bf5 , and all benchmarks are stable at both stock clocks and overclock .. bfv is the only game that crashes me so I found that downclocking -5 MHz is a working solution for me ..hope it helps someone else 

Same here after the patch. I didn't even bother to change anything reg. DirectX. It worked before, IT HAS TO WORK AFTER the patch. This is a shame.

@HoWxCoReMaybe I will try it on my 2070 Super, but I don't really see a big difference between DX11 and 12 visually and performance wise a lot, there is just so much stuff that I just don't pay attention when playing multiplayer that the whole ray tracing thing can be simply hidden away under post-processing and subsurface scattering which simulated reflections as well with limits of course.

Imo the best places where ray tracing can be felt are in single player games since you get the time to explore things and observe stuff. Here in campaign mode I used reflections at some point, I did see that my character could be seen on regular window of the doors and etc. But that's it... It requires a specific game where ray tracing car work its magic and DX12, but definitely not in multiplayer game where it is easier to use subsurface scattering that generates reflection of things to an extent. Great example is Resident Evil 2, boom, reflections on the ground and certain walls, with some artifacts, but it does the job enough that I can appreciate the effect...and it doesn't use ray tracing to help out.

So I think I finally found a solution .. In Origin go to "my games " click the bfv icon, hit the gear (settings) turn off origin in game overlay , restart origin and boom I was able to play in dx12 for about a hour with no crashes . 

I was crashing to desktop constantly. Realized it was also crashing my AMD Software application at the same time.

I reverted drivers back from 19.12.3 to 19.12.2, still crashed. Reverted back to 19.12.1 and it seems to work now.

This is with an RX 5700 GPU and Ryzen 5 3600x CPU.

Would be curious if the 19.12.1 drivers "fix" the crash for others on AMD GPUs. Similarly, if it "fixes" things for people with Nvidia GPUs if they roll back to a November 2019 ish Driver version.

Still no concrete solution for dx12 on with dlss and dxr on my 2080ti @3840x2160 60fps  , CTDS terrible !  Let's hope this patch on 2/4 fixes it . I will report back

@xCry0x I have a Radeon VII - Rolling back the software to 19.2.1 has so far done the trick for me! Weird cuz there were no updates since the first 15 hours i put in til it just magically started crashing. I've played 2 hours now no crashes when before i was crashing every match and sometimes in the menu.

Thank you for posting that up!

Same issue here - annoyin AF. I remember I'v played BF V without this problem till some patch was released (dont remember which one, looks like about year ago or so on). Sometimes I can play for 10-20 minutes and get single 5 seconds freeze without crash, but sometimes I get game crashed after this freeze without any error. Restarting game and origin ain't solution, 'cause I get same freezes once again (sometimes without game crash, sometimes with). And yes, it ain't PC problem, issue started right after some patch, i'm sure about it.

Friend... At this point this is a necro thread. BF5 is essentially dead - save but for a sparse handful of 'playable' servers. (In the US anyway... The term "playable" is a misnomer.)

EA/DICE have made it quite clear that they're only interested in inflicting upon us a development and release cycle where they take our money and roll around in it...before they patch the game into oblivion to quickly wean us off of the prior title and onto the next one...where they get to take our money and not give a crap about us all over again.

Don't waste your time. They don't care in the least bit about their customers. They haven't since BF3. I've given up on EA/Origin and nested myself firmly in my games on Steam.

You should consider doing the same.
