The game is working grand when im doing quests and all. But when i friend joins my game and when we join an online game, my whole game crashes and i have tried everything to fix it but still having the issue. I'm only playing the trial but that shouldn't be the issue. I like the game and want to buy it but i dont want to if it keeps crashing!
Community Admin@xblackinfern0x Hi, do you get an error message when you have the crash? When your friend plays does he get a crash too? Can you try creating a 2-player Ops match and see if the crash re-occurs?
Thanks.
Community AdminThanks for the info. The game should run fine on Windows 10. You can try playing in Windowed mode as a test, there have been scattered reports of issues when playing fullscreen with the latest update. It shouldn't be happening but it's worth checking.
You may also want to check the Reliability Monitor. Start typing "view reliability history" into the search bar to get this option.
I just started having a similar issue with a brand new Win 10 gaming laptop I purchased w/Nividia 1080p 8GB graphics card. I've been playing the game successfully for 3-4 days until this morning when it suddenly crashes almost immediately joining a multiplayer session. Absolutely no idea why. The screen just locks up with freckles appearing all over the screen and then reboot. Sometimes it happens INSTANTLY when I step into the multiplayer portal. You don't even get a chance to see it looking for a session or see the stuff floating around.
If I join a game through a buddy on Origin, it will crash at the character selection screen or within thirty seconds of game play. I can run around the backyard no problems. A lot of the errors in event viewer are related to nvlddmkm which appears to be some component of NVidia.
Just an update.
I gave up and eventually restored the factory image since I've only had it for about four days. I must have spent five hours troubleshooting this issue between all the events that occurred in the log. I'll create another image before updating the video drivers to see if it happens again.
Yeah still have the same problem it just crashes without warning with no error or nothing. I think it the update that happened that is causing this problem?
Community AdminThank you for the updates. Can you check for a reliability monitor report, it should be very helpful.

This is the problem here!!
Community AdminThank you for the post. Out of interest, does your friend live nearby? If it's possible you might want him to log into your account and try running his full version of the game, and see if you encounter the same issue. I suspect your issue is related to to the trial version of the game and this could be a good way to test.
Another thing that might be worth testing is to get the game and bear in mind the great game guarantee refund policy: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/origin/origin/what-s-the-great-games-guarantee/
That said I understand if you don't want to take such a step.
