Constantly crashing on directX as soon as I start a franchise game Latest driver is installed.

Also getting this issue on my RTX 5090 and 9950x3D build. I suspect it's due to this being early access and Nvidia not dropping a working driver until the actual release on Aug 14th unfortunately

Fixed by limiting FPS to 120, keeping it full screen, and ensuring Ambient Occlusion isn't higher than medium and is set to screen space. That is what "fixed" it for me but that's really more of workaround. All menu settings should be stable and shouldn't crash.

Update the above limits the frequency of the issue but it still occurs. This is on the newest Nvidia driver 580.97 as well as the prior release, there is no workaround within the game settings itself. Please fix it. An RTX 5090 should not be crashing.

It does not fix it. I have a contact at EA that I have attempted to keep informed as well. There is no known working Nvidia driver that alleviates this issue at all. This is an excellent opportunity for Nvidia and EA to collaborate and implemented needed Nvidia DLSS and Reflex.

Find_the_Door Appreciate the feedback. I will pass it along to the team so they can have a look and see what they can dig up on their end. Cheers!

No idea what Nvidia's update is truly suppose to target (I have it installed)...but the game is still randomly deciding to crash with no error message, just like how Skate currently is on PC. Did it my first game on. Hasnt been an issue all year until recent weeks.

Can confirm issue is resolved for me. No more crashes. I would say job well done but EA did nothing
