Crash on alt tab when using DX11 native resolution /w Full Screen enabled

I'm playing on a 1440p 144hz GSync monitor and noticed that GSync wasn't working after the latest patch. I alt tabbed to see if there was anything on the forum, and when alt tabbing back to the game the display driver crashed and then recovered. This is when using DX11 mode with my native refresh rate (2560x1440). DX12 mode works fine with GSync and no crashes on alt tab.

If i delete my settings in the My Documents folder, the default 1920x1600 resolution works fine with GSync and no crash on alt tab. As soon as i change up to native 1440p, the GSync and crashing issue is back. This issue was not present before the latest patch and there has been no changes to my hardware or drivers since i started playing, using the latest NVidia driver on a GTX 1070.

    Using FreeSync with 144hz, no problems here. Iknow its not the same thing, but could be a Nvidia problem then.

    Are you able to use native 1440p with DX11 and fullscreen without crashing when you alt tab out and back into the game? I disabled GSync, but the driver still crashes when using native resolution at 144hz. Which GPU are you running?

    I'm using 144 Hz monitor without GSYNC. After the patch game crashes on almost every alt tab.

    EVGA 1080 GTX + latest drivers.

    Thank god, good to see some others with the same problems.

    If you want to continue playing, change to DX12 or use Borderless (which i think will work fine, but GSync won't be enabled).

    To be clear:

    - It's not a GSync issue, but an issue with using DX11 at highest native resolution in FULL SCREEN.

    To reproduce:

    - Use highest available native resolution with DX11

    - Make sure Full Screen is enabled

    - Alt tab out and back in to the game

    Game will crash the display driver, which will recover after a black screen.

    Latest patch broke NVIDIA drivers. I can confirm driver is crashing (nvlddmkm) with this information:

    \Device\Video3
    CMDre 00000001 00000080 00000000 00000005 00000012

    This should be a priority to get fixed, any game that can break graphics drivers this easily is a serious oversight.

    Same here guys. I have been trying everything from installing new drivers to reinstalling the game. I test it out and it works fine on other resolution , but when native resolution, it will glitch with black screen when alt tab. Then when you try to launch again, it won't launch at all. Probably either nvidia need update driver or it's ea sloppy patch on November 21

    If you're on a 1440p monitor, the 1920x1600 resolution (default resolution you get when deleting settings in your My Documents/SWBattlefront 2 folder) works fine, but obviously it won't look nearly as good.

    You just have to use DX12 until they become aware of the problem and fix it.
