SWBF2 for PC crashing and getting worse!

Alright, SWBF2 on my PC is getting worse. Game worked good for first 120 odd hours then started kicking me out between every online multiplayer match for the follwing 9 odd hours now I cant even play...

    Seems I've found a solution... but lets see if EA will let me post this answer this time...seems they don't like to be criticized for their bad workmanship lol

    It seems to be a DIRECTX12 issue and game updates.

    Here's what i'm doing. Go to \Documents\STAR WARS Battlefront II\settings and open "BootOptions" file with notepad.

    Then go to the line that says ".EnableDx12" and delete the 1 and put a 0 in its place so it reads ".EnableDx02" instead then save it.

    I have to do this every time before I start the game because if I don't it seems after I have been playing it it has been changed back...but if I dont change it it crashes as usual however when I do change it it works and so far I can play endlessly by doing it...

    Let me know how you guys go. hoping by continuously doing this I can keep playing it at least...

Any chance it is related to a windows update? Or your card driver ?
Check your last update timing. Had this recently and when I reverted to older driver, runs perfect. GLHF

I think I figured it out.
I had to revert my graphics card drivers back one, and switch to dx11.

    @Major-Band1t @Draknarr9868 I did both a clean windows install with older update and reverted graphics card driver to one before June. Not sure which one helped but everything works fine now!

    You do know you can find out the version you're using right?

    @inglorious_NZL and this is just one, from the 2nd page, from this topic, there are tons of other topics where everyone says that directx 12 has to be disabled and everyon should use dx11. But whatever, you are the man! :D

    @Nevod81might of been alright if I was searching "crashing on startup" but that wasn't my initial problem, that only just started happening for me. I was searching SWBF2 crashes during multiplayer and got sweet FA
