Re: Battlefront randomly crashes in game every 20 mins or so

Did windows update fix the issue for you? I've tried to update but apparently windows is already fully up to date. ☹️

Also, if you go to Windows Update it should tell you the update ID of which updates it installed so that we can check if our machines have it. Would be really appreciated.

I read somewhere else that Windows Update fixed the issue so lets hope for the best.

Thought I had it going then. But then nvwgf2umx.dll.

Is this likely to be a game issue or a driver issue? I've tried so many different driver. They can't all be faulty. 

Do you overclock your graphics card? If yes, try running game in stock clock/memory configuration.

Another thing you can try is to reinstall Nvidia drives doing a clean install (all previous drivers are deleted and new ones are installed).

On express installation you will not find "clean install" box.

You can try that too: search google for a small program called ADWCleaner; download it from original site (something like toolslib.net). Read the description and if suits you, run it, click clean and reboot. This app solved many problems on my PC.

Hmmmm, This is my gfx card. I think it's factory over clocked. I've never over clocked any of my hardware.

Ill try the clean install option as I haven't done than. I've been uninstalling and using DDU then express reinstalling.

Will see how this goes.

Thanks!

As you said, your gfx is factory over clocked. I think this kind of over clock is not an issue. And DDU is very similar to "clean install" procedure, in fact, DDU unistall and delete every single piece/trace of gfx. Sorry dude, but i think my suggestions will not help you anyway!

Ahhh lame. 😛 I've just gone through what you've suggested anyway. I'm going to give it ago. 

I've been having same issue and been following the forum. I just recently set my cpu performance to standard instead of performance via ASUS suite II and toggled the gpu boost on my mobo off. So far so good without any crashing.

A few people in Battlefield 4+3 had problems with their pre overclocked graphics cards and this game uses the same type of graphics engine, you might just want to try and underclock your graphics card with like 15% and see if the error occours.

Since Battlefield 3 / 4, the new Frostbite-Engine reacts very, very sensitive to overclocking. Regardless of whether CPU or GPU! So if anybody have trouble with Battlefront, first try do downclock your graphic card to factory standards.

Ok cool. I'll give that a try. Am I correct in thinking I will be able to do this with EVGA PrecisionX 16? My gfx card is Nvidia chip set but EVGA manufactured.

Attached is EVGA PrecisionX 16 screen shot.

Thanks

OK, So my gfx cards gpu clock is currently at 135mhz. take 15% away from that and its 114.75mhz. I just want to clarify before doing this as I don't have a clue when it comes to clock speeds, Things and stuff.

Thanks!

Actually the previous is obviously wrong. 135 is my current GPU clock speed when on idle. 😛 I think I'm going to need some assistance with this.

At "GPU CLOCK OFFSET" slide to all left

At "MEM CLOCK OFFSET" slide to left too (not all left).

Then click APPLY.

Then give game a try!

I think we are barking up the wrong tree here. My machine is a totally different set of hardware to his and we are both having the same issues. My GPU is factory settings.

I think there is a problem with these NVIDIA Drivers and maybe a certain range of cards or a certain build within Windows.

I'm sitting at 60FPS the whole time I get to play and the card is humming nicely at 64 degrees, it can't be the card to blame. Sometimes the game crashes and sometimes I get BSOD.

I've even had it watching movies through Plex. 

SFC is clean. Windows Re-Installed (Keeping Older FIles). Ive installed the NVIDIA drivers and removed them more times than I can imagine... 

I'm out of ideas 🙂

I'm kind of with you on this. Though I'm willing to give this a try because..... well... why not? 

I've made the following changes as shown in the image. 

I've gone down by about 20. Will return with results.

Is nvwgf2umx.dll still crashing? Maybe dll is corrupted. Before doing next step, DON'T FORGET TO BACKUP NVWGF2UMX.DLL IN CASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG (make a copy to your desktop, for example). Try deleting dll from windows/system32 and reinstall vga driver again. If reinstalling vga driver does not put dll back to where is was, use backup you did before to restore that.

I haven't had the Nvidia NVWGF2UMX.DLL crash since yesterday. But that could change.

The last crash I had which was 5 mins ago was due to MSVCR120.dll.

I mostly see these crop up when it crashes.

- NVWGF2UMX.dll

- MSVCR120.dll

- starwarsbattlefront.exe

These all crop up on the "P4" section of the problem signature in the event viewer.

Under clocking it does not fix the issue either. I went down in increments of 10 with no resolve. ☹️

Just crashed again with:

This time starwarsbattlefront.exe is the cause. So the event viewer says. And this is the case for the past 3 crashes.

I haven't received the nvidia NVWGF2UMX.dll crash today. Which maybe due to under clocking my gpu, Though I haven't tested extensively so I do not know for sure.

I am not shure, but MSVCR120.dll belongs to VCREDIST (Microsoft Visual C++). There is a subdirectory with those libraries inside Star Wars Battlefront. Install them again.

ok, I've unistalled the reinstalled VCREDIST in the bf redist folder. I'm going to try again play again after work. See what goes down.

Thanks

Just seen this;

https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/900924/geforce-drivers/geforce-hotfix-driver-359-12-for-geforce-860m-notebook-gpus-released-12-2-15-/1/

Nvidia published a fix to our problem but not for my card or yours but at least they are aware and we can probably say that the driver is definitely to blame!!

So turns out the driver supports all notebook cards;

I installed using DDU in Safemode to remove then install excluding the 3D Vision driver as so many recommended.

Ran SW: Battlefront and got 2 crashes in first 20 mins of play, no blue screen though which is slight progress.
