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 on request.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I have read some reports on reddit of the same thing...

Hey @ZwillingX Try rolling-back to an older AMD drivers. Try one of these drivers: 17.11.4, 17.11.2 or 17.12.1

any idea what to do with NVIDIA cards as my PC which has an i5 3570k, 16GB Ram and a 780Ti Ghz Edition is doing exactly the same thing... tried going through every possible way of finding errors and absolutely nothing i have tried has fixed it, even went as far as registry edits to try and solve errors i was seeing in event viewer.
Seemingly nothing has worked, I'e tried every NVIDIA driver back to the last driver that SWBF2 will actually launch with (any older and it tells you to update drivers)
Unbelievably, after having this issue for a good month or two, I have solved it I think after a chat on EA help centre with an EA Rep. My specific issue was crashing to desktop trying to load specific Starfighter Assault maps - all other game modes and maps worked fine.
My steps below (I was having the exact same issue as the OP):
I've just played a good hour or so on Starfighter Assault on all the maps that had previously crashed straight to desktop (Unknown Regions/D'Qar/Endor) as well as the others without hitch.
I'm not sure which of the steps solved it, but strongly suspect that it was an AMD driver issue, or possible registry fragment clashes.
My specs below for completeness:
Core I5 6600K
Asus Z170-P
16Gb DDR4
AMD RX460 2Gb
Samsung 500Gb SSD boot
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
Hope this helps!
DICE TeamHey @DokkenFrosst sorry to hear about the issue you are having with Battlefront 2!
So first off I removed of your post as they where in all caps you are more then welcome to post again with following are rules on the forum.
For the issue it self, can you upload a Dxdiag for us to see what kind of PC you have a drivers.

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.

My card isnt an EVGA card. its a Gigabyte card.
The factory overclock is completely stable, except SWBF2 seems to try and run the card ABOVE its maximum stable clock speed.
Not a single other game has this issue, and I've tested about 30 other games, from old to new all on various different game engines.
The fact that when i load up something like say: Fractured Space or World of Warships and they run at the correct clock speeds and DO NOT randomly crash to the desktop with no warnings... tells me that the card with its FACTORY clock speeds is in fact STABLE...
I ran it for 12 hours in furmark. Max tempt was 81*C, clock completely stable, no graphical errors, no crashes, nothing. OCCT even checks out as being totally stable... christ the cards ASIC quality is rated at 72% which is more than 54% higher than the other 780Ti's in GPU-Zs sample base, which since its quite a well used program, is well A LOT of 780Ti's...
You should also note than many others with even brand new best of the best ASIC quality 1080Tis with no overclocks are having to downclock the card by anywhere from 50-200mhz on the core and sometimes the memory as well, for this game and this game only.
Don't even try to tell me that manufacturers are selling cards that push over £1000 retail with unstable overclocks when the chips ASIC quality is higher than any other card sold on the market.
Read about someone who tried 3 different GTX 1080 GPUs, had to downclock all 3, RMA'd them and the replacements were exactly the same. But had no issues with any other games.
