Problems since the 0.2 Patch

After trawling through quite a few threads now it isn't just me.
Since the 0.2 Patch we're getting crashes booting the game, crashes in the game, dodgy texture rendering. And even weirdly in some cases (Once happened to me) it messes with audio settings after a crash, setting my monitor as the default audio output... Strange.

If I alt + tab out the game, it crashes, all the time. Returning to the game displays artefacts, a laggy screen and then crashes to Origin. I've had someone contact me to say they have experienced the same since the patch. Texture and lighting rendering has been questionable at times during the game too.. This is after I managed to keep the game running and join a few matches. Lighting can be seen in the menu background as a "striped" effect against the space background. And texture rendering has just been generally delayed or out of character. None of these issues AT ALL were present since my early access play days on the release date 13th. All issues appearing since this 0.2 patch. GPU is a 1080ti with the BF2 specific driver update and for it to affect others it's not user specific. At the very least it would be nice to see some sort of "We're looking at it" from EA. As this isn't just me, and it's affected the entire game quite drastically.

I've ran a repair on the game. Removed the trial and main game .exe and ran a repair and all behaviour is the same.

Any community feedback to support this would be good - I know people had progression issues but I believe those are fixed now.

  • The alt tab issue is being discussed in here:

    Looks like the DX11 option /w full screen is bugged after the patch and you will have to use DX12 to get full screen and alt tabbing without issues. The crash you're seeing is the video drivers crashing (confirm this in EventViewer under Warnings/Display or the Reliability Monitor). This will most likely be the cause of the artifacts you're seeing.

  • Well I'm glad I'm not going crazy. We can safely say that these issues are all a result of the patch then?
    I've looked at your link.

    I can see new topics popping up all over the place of crashes, alt + tab problems still!

  • Everything worked fine before the patch, and i've played Assassins Creed Origins, Battlefield 1, Titanfall 2 and Destiny 2 with no problems, so it's not an overall driver issue.

  • The issues I’m getting include the save file for the campaign being erased, I will load into matches and games but I can not move, shoot, open the game menu, and I had to equip all of my star cards again. I am on an Xbox One using an Ethernet cable plugged into my router for internet on my Xbox, and I have tried resetting the game, restarting the consol and a hard reset. I have the achievements from my campaign but I have to start over! And I was trying on the hardest difficulty! I wish I knew this stuff would happen before I preordered it.

    Now I can play multiplayer fine but I had to restart my campaign on the hardest difficulty.
