Re: FIX THE MP CRASHING!!!

I don't care how many times this has been posted already but tonight I have tried to do a silver apex mission 10 times, I have used all my assault rifle damage boosters a lot of first aids and revives in these 10 attempts to complete the mission only to get blue screened!!!

2 hours I have been trying to play and the only thing that I have to show for is it having used up all my boosters and revives and first aids and what not

Absolute joke FIX IT!!!

Crashes are truly frustrating,  but your lack of detailed information about your system and connection,  or even the error from the blue screen (which would actually be helpful here)  doesn't help anyone help you.  

I have heard of the game crashing or locking up on people.  It crashes to desktop,  and I've seen that on my gaming laptop, which is borderline able to play the game on decent graphics settings.

Sometimes the game does not load into a match,  and 2-3 times I've had it dump to desktop from the middle of a match when I was the host. 

But a BSOD is a sign that your system is having a problem,  (hardware,  or driver,  or both) and likely only marginally related to the game.

    The mp occasionally crahes, that's nothing new. But if this happens to you over and over again and even to blue screen (never happend to me), it's a least uncommon. So maybe there is something wrong with your hardware, internet connection or grafic settings to name a few possible sources of error.

    You make a few valid points and unfortunately I don't have any details on the error.

    However I am using the PS4, I play the division, FIFA and NHL online 24/7 and never have these issues I'm getting on ME. I also ruled out my network because I'm the one that actually has to host to avoid issues in the other above games with my mates.

    I don't lag if I'm hosting and my mates that I play with don't have problems either.

    When I get blue screened my mates still stay in Match but comes up with a migrating host or something and can continue playing

    SO I guess it could be my system but dno what I could do about the PS4 system

    A PS4 is a whole nother ball of wax.

    So I assume that the blue screen you are seeing is not a complete console face-plant, but the error screen you get if the game closes unexpectedly?

    On a closed system, you'd think that the game was planned to run on a known set of hardware constraints. But I've played games on the PS4 that would crash. Some more than others (ESO, I'm talking about you!).

    It also would have helped to make that clear up front. The BSOD, is a Windows issue. Kinda helps identify the problem and how to go about figuring it out.

    Wonder if the crashing is new, post 1.05, or was it always?

    Yes I must admit it's a rookie mistake on my part, I was tired and frustrated when I posted this thread and after the 10th time of getting blue screened for the same mission it was a rage shutdown, vent on forum before going to bed kind of post.

    I didn't play much MP before the 1.05 patch but I certainly didn't have the problems before it, and that being said 1.05 has been out a while and only on the odd occasion have I been blue screened

    It's fare to say next time I get the problem I will persist and get more details and try a more detailed repost 😔 Thanks for your time anywho 👍

    Well, you also have the option to bug report within the PS4, right? I would still use that, and give as much info as you can.

    And do a full, cold reboot of your PS4. I used to leave mine in standby, and I think ESO at least behaved better after making sure the program was completely restarted.
