@SystemsOperator I see you have some Razer gear. If you have any Razer software running (or installed), you might want to stop that, as the game has been known to have issues with Razer stuff in the past (and several issues seem to be rearing their heads again recently, so why not that one?). Actually, you might want to try doing a clean boot in case there's something else running in the background causing these issues.
Sorry for the abrupt reply, but I really need sleep 😛 Hopefully someone with a more functional brain will come along and can be of more help. 😉
That is fascinating — you may be entirely right! I just got a new Razer keyboard the other day, but I didn't think a keyboard could cause such a problem. To my knowledge it looked like it only installed default drivers and I don't see any Razer stuff running in the driver bar.
But now that you say it, the timing is coincidental; worth checking.

Unfortunately this wasn't it. I uninstalled the Razer software (turns out it was old anyway, from an old mouse). Also started up in a clean boot. No luck. After ~2 hours, it crashed. With a new development, at that! BLUE screen instead of black, this time.

Hi, @SystemsOperator
The reason I didn't come back to this thread is I gave up on trying to make this game work on my pc.
Last thing I did was I formatted my pc, clean installing Windows 10, but it didn't work either.
I'm currently saving money to try and buy another video card and PSU. If it works then, I'll post it here (I still don't know when I'll be able to buy them, but I expect to do that early next year)
If you find a fix somewhere, please post it here, and I'll do the same. 🙂
- 10 years agoHey, thanks for the reply!
Just wanna echo what you said for anyone else out there looking: unfortunately nothing has worked. Not the suggestions in this thread nor any other.
I don't feel like taking more chances with my computer having to be forced to shutdown every few hours, so that makes the game essentially unplayable. No answers from EA anywhere. I haven't returned it only because I got it on sale really cheap. It's not worth the hassle and I got a few hours of fun out of it at least.
But yeah, until further notice, I give up.
