Hey autolimax,
another thing you should try: install nvidia drivers again, click on advanced installation, check box "clean installation" and uncheck 3D Vision software/driver stuff (two itens).
Hi guys, sorry I haven't replied in a while I just haven't had a chance to test it. Though I do remember battlefield crashing due to my hdd powering its self off. I'm going to give this a try and see what happens. Though saying that I have also noticed there has been a game update so this could have fixed it too! who knows?
So test time.
Let us know how it goes. I'm running into the same or similar issue, hitting the dx11Renderer::tryMap error every 4 or 5 minutes of play. The thing is, I'm not on NVIDIA 🤔
Running an R9 270x Dual-X that I literally JUST popped into a new build and I can't play Battlefront past 4 or 5 minutes. Sucks because this is a build for my cousin who is majorly into anything Star Wars. He won't buy the game if I can't get it fixed.
Hey Mate,
Any updates? Just out of curiosity... what wireless chip do you have in your machine? I was getting a lot of BSOD's due to the wireless driver... wondering if we have that in common.
I built a brand new PC for my son for him to be able to play the latest PC games without struggling with slow gfx and bottlenecks. Gigabyte Mobo, i3-6100, 2x8GB DDR4 2000Mhz, Gigabyte ATI R7 360 GDDR5 2GB RAM, 1TB Seagate HDD (might buy an SSHD/SSD to reduce the added heat that the current HDD is creating maxes out at 44 °C (111.2 °F) inside the case), 550W CORSAIR PSU.
Fresh install of Win 8.1 from DVD fresh install of Radeon Catalyst 16.2. Disabled all unnecessary software and startup programs.
SWBF installed from the DVD crashed as well as after all the online s/w updates, shortcut tweaks, switching off Origin and all the suggestions on the 8 pages here in this thread. I've underclocked the ATI R7 360 card from its base 1625 MHz to 1000, then 900, then 800 MHz and GPU clock down -4.1% and Power Limit -10%. (Games still runs very really well despite this reduction) and set fan speed at 100% continuous. No screen savers, no HDD power downs, PC is fully on constantly no green modes...
It still froze after 20 odd minutes with that annoying DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED and telling me to install the latest driver - duh.
So I decided it's time to install a hardware monitor that logs what each PC component is doing, RPM, Temp, Clock Speed etc and moved it to a 2nd screen so I could watch it whilst playing the game. After 2 days I can state that this error (similar to screenshot here: http://i.imgur.com/Dc1QdUo.png ) is due an overheating GPU. When it reaches 83,0 °C (181,4 °F) there is a "failsafe" that switches it off (Disconnects, physically removes the hardware?) at that temperature. Oddly going to task manager I can stop SWBF, and watch the GPU temp fall back about 39 °C and stay there...
When my son plays SWBF on the training maps specifically HOTH hero missions you can see the temp slowly climb on the GPU and every time at 83,0 °C it hangs with the popup error message. The ambient room temperature is around 24,0 °C when this happens. When playing other games like COD, Battlefield, GRAW, Crysis the R7 360 never reaches the temperatures that SWBF does, and they run without crashing. SWBF computationally is intense on the GFX card. I will disable graphic features of SWBF and see if it takes a lesser toll on the card... but cooling seems to be the answer. Where I live we are having a very hot summer right now (southern hemisphere).
I am going tomorrow to purchase two more case fans and install them and then I am going to see if I can get a free standing room air-conditioner that drops the room temperature by 5 or so degrees and see if that is enough to cool the GPU. Last resort is to get some water based cooling system or place the PC in a bar fridge! 😃
Hey Magnum,
A very different issue to ours which seemed to be drivers on the Nvidia cards.
Due to rising heat I recommend having the fan pull the heat away from the card rather than through it.
Here is a handy guide to see you along your way.

More fans is not better. Just the right amount and the right orientation can make all the difference.
Also, try and get some software to get those fans running up earlier than required. This will help stop that climb from getting out of control.
Hey, just wanna say you and anyone else in this thread aren't alone in this issue, I've been suffering the exact same symptoms since around late February in BF4 and then I buy battlefront the other night and find out it has the same crashes. Really annoying, and of course there's no real fix.
(Win 10, 980ti, 4790k, no temp problems, latest everything, tried everything here and on many a compilation of fixes). I guess I just can't really play DICE games anymore.
I realize this is an old thread, but for folks like me who are running into the issue, this post comes up fresh in the Google search.
In Battlefield 4 I got around it by using Window mode. Once I added a second monitor, my freeze problems seemed to be fixed. I just ran into the issue in Battlefront while running Window mode, running fullscreen 1080.
