Crashing to Desktop
I experience random crashing in both single-player and multi-player. There is no error message, the game simply closes. However, it appears that crash dump files are generated; I can provide them o...

Right so I just bought this game 2 days ago, having now spent the best part of those 2 days troubleshooting to even get the bloody thing past the initial splash screen I now have a new issue, constant and random crashes to desktop, no errors, the game just visually freezes with the sound still playing and about 5-10s later its at the desktop.
I've tried everything that's been suggested before, deleted msi afterburner, rolled back my nvidia drivers one by one for about 6 driver versions, switched to Dx11, switched to windowed, borderless and fullscreen (no difference), turned on Vsync, turned TXAA to low, turned all the settings down, turned off geforce ingame overlay, turned off origin in game, turned off windows game bar, reinstalled the game twice, repaired the game, updated windows 10 (no updates), checked for motherboard update (none that i can see)...
Finally i am now here, because i've seriously given up, i can barely get long enough in-game to change the settings before it crashes... never had any issues with SWBF1 so not sure why this is being a pain in the backside.
System specs are miles above required as well... i5 3570k, 16GB RAM, GTX780TI, no other games have any issues at all.
attached is my dxdiag, i have crashdumps but these are basically meaningless as i cant open them to see what's going wrong and without error messages have nothing to point me in the right direction.
so i take it nobody from EA gives a damn that i've now wasted my money on the elite trooper edition when i cant even play...
ah well if no response by tomorrow i'll be filing for a refund, cant be arsed with bullcrap anymore.
Found a possible solution, while messign about with EVGA Precision, due to the fact that event viewer was showing a * of nvidia driver crashes whenever the game crashed (no visible error messages however)
1) I found that SWBF2 was running with GPU clocks that were WAAAAAY above what my card can run stable at... not sure why it does this but it does, seems like its overboosting the card as I noticed peak core clocks of over 1300Mhz before it crashed... which my card simply can't handle on air cooling and stock voltage
2) Normally my 780Ti GHz Edition can boost to a stable 1250Mhz on the core and 7Ghz on the VRAM, which is basically the card as it came out the box.
3) To seemingly SOLVE this issue with SWBF2, had to run my card as follows: -50MHz Core and -300MHz Memory. with power set to 100% and Temp set to 86 Centigrade.
4) This then showed the in-game core clock as: 1228Mhz, with 6.4Ghz VRAM. Runs happily on ultra no FPS drops and so far no crashes.
Hope this works for any Nvidia users, because rolling back drivers doesnt work - trust me i tried.
