Black Screen at Start + Crashes after Playing

I suspect many users are using older builds of windows 10. There are no reason not to upgrade to at least 1903 these day. 1809 should also be stable but its still almost a year old. 1909 is rolling at these days (probably wise to wait before upgrading knowing MS has a track record of needing 2-3 month to patch the new release :P)

Anyways, I have played this game on 1809 and 1903 builds of windows 10 and for me both are stable. 1903 gave me a whopping 2 fps increase. lol

While normal windows update should be forced on most users, the big updates are optional until your current built are reaching end of life and thus many are probably still on 1803 build.

I saw someone mention in another thread he stopped crashing after upgrading to 1903 and it makes sense.

@itsTylerkun From the description it seems that the igpu for some reason took over the load from your nvidia card. It may be as simple as nvidia gpu crashed and the igpu tried to salvage the situation but it may also be that windows for some reason started to use your igpu causing the game to crash. however strange that also your network activity spiked.

You could try set your nvidia gpu as the only card available for the game. Normally this happens automatically but I have seen in several game forums people playing on laptops experiencing that the igpu suddenly tries to render the game instead of the third party gpu.

I believe this guide should be working for nvidia cards: https://www.techadvisor.co.uk/how-to/pc-components/how-set-default-graphics-card-3612668/

Also if you crash again dxdiag and any other log would be helpful for everyone to try help. 🙂

And please try origin offline mode. Its just to rule out that online features doesnt interfere.
