The game will freeze and crash
After some time of playing, the game will freeze and crash. This never happend in beta any help?
Forum Discussion
@Jellowcanoo no solutions that worked yet, i am thinking about trying a fix that was listed for the beta via a redit thread i found, but it's windows 7 specific - weird, seems my previous posted reply - was removed..
anyway - will try support again later -
A little later, I disabled Ambient Occlusion in game Video settings (at bottom), I don't think my 840m even handles that :P - I also lowered anti aliasing too, might shut it off - and swapped quality to performance in NVIDIA control panel.. Game became a lot more playable - I am finally at the point of having watched the campaign intro so many times - it's the game - bad audio synching, it's like watching a classic kung fu movie with the time delayed voices :P
Load times are still sparatic, the highest click start campaign to intro scene was 78 seconds, lowest 28 seconds ..
Next steps.. sleep now, and contact support again tomorrow, on a different device, so i don't have to worry about system reboots on the device i am playing game on.
@Jellowcanoo I am most likely going to just wait for the regular game release - the pure fact is, only this game is having problems. I play at least 4 other games all via different game companies, no problems... only problems is with this game.. hopefully they figure it out before launch, otherwise it would be like visiting a used car dealership lol
other than disabling Ambient Occlusion in game Video settings (at bottom), and reducing anti-aliasing and a couple other things mentioned in the link to post in this thread below.. - that didn't fix anything, just helped a little bit - https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/The-game-will-freeze-and-crash/td-p/6411563
I solved my problem of freezing and crashing by modifying my virtual memory assigned to Windows. It was set to a specified size, changing to have this file managed by windows my freezes and crashes disappeared
make sure to post your OS/ Vid Card - with a solution that way other's can find it specific to them too :D wish it worked for me as i had already done that too, you are supposed to increase pf 1.5 x - check out for the max and set max and min the same, usually it's 1.5x your actual ram/memory so 8k would be 12k (example)... (*EDIT - Update after reading more about pagefile 🙂 the 1.5x is more for older systems, check out pagefile educational links at bottom of this post)
Grats and wish mine worked too :P nvidia 840m - win 7 x64, although the trial is running at x32. After everything i have gone through so far, I am not crashing now, but still choppy play like a bad buffering video --
67 seconds from clicking start game in origin to game starting first vid intro
88 seconds from clicking start campaign to first vid scene starting
after playing 15 minutes - 165 seconds after clicking quit (to main screen) to reaching main screen - all load time..
side note - i think the lvl 3 difficulty should be level 2, and the level 3 difficulty should be 2x harder 😉
been about 6 months since i did a format and fresh OS install.. maybe i will do that to pass some time, while waiting to see if the early release is better than the trial release :S
down to 2 hours of play time left spent about 5 hours just troubleshooting and support stuff :S
may the force be with you 😉
