Started my own thread but got directed here. As I said in my own thread, this game worked flawlessly for over 90 hours, but has since started to crash after 10 minutes on average, sometimes as little as just two minutes. the crashes either completely hang the pc or reset it. I don't understand how it worked for so long without any problems. It could be the patch, but these problems didn't arise until days after the patch came out. Is there any way to reinstall the game in it's unpatched state? It stands to reason that this might be the solution.
yes, there are instruction on how to roll back the game, to pre patch condition, in the original post.
towards the bottom.
Oh, thanks! Should really have noticed that. Will my saves be on the cloud still or should I back them up?
Last night I tried the "reverting-to-pre-patch" part, except I didn't clear $MFT free space because it is advised not to do it on SSD drives, so instead I deleted Origin and game folders in C:\Users and C:\ProgramData (every folder I could find), and redownloaded the game.
Now I try the game and it's again the latest version instead of the original. Is it because I didn't clear the $MFT free space?

did you uncheck the boxes in the general tab of origin settings
under auto update?
and the file locations are
c:\users\<your acount's user name>\appdata\local (i.e. c:\users\ fred\appdata\local)
c:\users\<your account's user name\appdata\roaming
c:\programdata
remember only delete the origin folder in these locations
if you can't find the appdata folder, then you need to go into your folder options,
and make sure to put a check mark next to "show hidden files and folders"
