Hi foneshome,
Like you I had constant CTDs anywhere from 5 to 30mins of game time. Since doing the following, I have'nt had a CTD in over 20 hours of gameplay.
1. Uninstalled virus scanner (Was using MSE)
2. Disable Origin Overlay
3. Go offline in game as well as the Origin client.
4. Disable all unnecessary background processes and services. For me this included some webcam software, teamviewer, and a few other bits and pieces.
5. Reinstalled nVidia drivers only with the graphics and physx options.
6. Don't have any browser windows open (I notice once the game locked up when CTRL-ALT-DEL the browser had stopped responding [Firefox]).. Also make sure no media players are currently active such as VLC.
7. Run the game in fullscreen window mode
I couldn't honestly tell you which of the above fixed the CTDs for me, as it could be any combination. Of course, this may not work for you but I hope it helps.
A big huge thanks for the suggestions, mr_zen, but I've tried all of that and then some ☹️
This is a first for a PC game experience with me, so it's really frustrating. I just have to assume that something is really wrong with the game and my PC configuration, and either wait for the next patch or try again when I change my PC build.
The game is awesome, too, which makes this all the more aggravating! Why couldn't this have happened with a game I didn't like? 🙂
