Game inevitably locks up at black screen when Frame Gen is enabled

Hi all,

I am running the PC version from the EA app via Game Pass. I seem to have an issue that I've seen reported elsewhere: with Frame Generation enabled, I will inevitably have my game lock up at a black screen when going to a loading screen. I have tried many fixes including repairing the game and running in admin mode, and I was at my wits end until I saw it suggested the culprit was Frame Generation. When I turned off FG, the issue completely vanished.

Specs for what its worth:

CPU: AMD 5800X38

GPU: AMD 7800 XT

Windows and the game are on the latest versions.

    Hey @sacharisma 

    Thanks for letting us know what you're running into!

    When you have a moment can we see if the following steps make any difference?

    Spoiler

    If this continues would it be possible to get a DxDiag file and an EA app Error ID Number?

    Thanks!

    Hey @sacharisma 

    Thanks for the additional information, Can we try the following steps and check if this continues? 

    Thanks!

  • I legitimately meant no respect by this, but I do not feel I need to do all of that for a reproducible issue (it just happened again after I turned on Frame Generation again for the first time since last week). This has happened under the last and most current AMD drivers, Windows is up to date, my UEFI is on the latest firmware, the game is on the latest update (happened on the last update too), and other people have reported the issue. That is actually how I discovered it was the culprit in the first place.
