    Hey, I have heard a suggestion, but it involves some registry editing. This can be a bit daunting if you're not familiar with it, but hopefully it will help. 


    To start, type "regedit" into your Windows search, then right-click the Registry Editor App, and choose to Run as Administrator. You'll likely be given a prompt from Windows, choose Yes to this. 

    From here if you click File > Export, you can create a backup to fall back on just in case something unexpected happens. It'll probably be fine, but better to be safe than sorry.

    For making the actual edit, you can go to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers, right-click empty space below the listed keys and choose New > DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name this "TdrDelay"(with captial T&D). Double click this, click "decimal" for the base, and then 0 for the value.

    You can now repeat this step with a New > DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name this one TdrLevel (again with matching capitals) double click it and this time click Decimal again and set it as a zero again. 

    Now please try a restart and let us know if anything changes.

    I know I might be late to the party, but this was happening to me just a few minutes ago. I was able to play it just fine when the game first came to Gamepass on PC but now it has constant issues.

    The thing that fixed it for me was to set the game to DX12 >>> then go HERE to download the EA AntiCheat and run that >>> Then open EA launcher and repair the game.

    DX12 works fine for me, now.
