Not sure if it's AMD only related, but the game is allocating tons of memory and when the allocation is near the pagefile's size just crashes to desktop:

Memory usage: around 10 GB, Allocated memory from the pagefile: 15 GB (16 GB pagefile, would constantly crash with 4, 8 even at startup).

PC:

CPU: i7-4790K

RAM: 16 GB

VGA: R9 Fury

Btw. I managed to launch a match with the 16 GB pagefile, but the game still stutters a lot in DX12:

    Just turn DX12 off.

    If you do a search, you'll see several posts recommending the same, as DX12 doesn't add much, yet definitely detracts.  This coming from someone who's successfully tried DX12...

    You know I finally hit my limit of patience with PC Gaming a year ago and decided to jump ship to console gaming due to the constant crashes, errors and video/sound issues. Went to an Xbox One X and have not looked back since. The only thing I really miss is mouse control of aiming, but as for everything else, gaming is rock-solid on a console. Hope you get your problem sorted out. If not, Un-install BF2, Reboot, Re-install, tap screen twice with a red pen (magical red pen trick) and pray it works this time.

    Used to be a console player and miss it sometimes. It was simple, so I understand your change. I run on a 4 thousand dollar machine and have to loop * all the time to get * to work right.
