Still crashing every time I try to fight Vader. I still have random crashes and have tried all the instructions provided by EA Support. Attached DxDiag.
SPECS:
AMD Ryzen 9 7950x 16-Core(32CPU)
64GB DDR5 mem
NVidia GeForce RTX 4070 TI
Some things to try based on your DXDIAG:
- use 1 monitor (for troubleshooting)
- disable on-board graphics
- update your driver
- shut down all other apps (e.g. qbittorrent), while you are running the game
- look into the other crashes and memory leaks at the bottom of the DXDIAG report
- make sure your memory speed in BIOS matches what you CPU and motherboard can handle
- turn off XMP, if enabled (for troubleshooting)
Please report back what happens once you've done all of the above.

In case you're wondering, or @Psycho_Stimpy is, the LiveKernelEvent 141 errors are video driver timeouts: the driver failed to respond within what Windows considers an appropriate interval, so Windows killed the driver. The first order of business when seeing this error is to DDU the driver and install a fresh copy, as described here:
A properly-written application should never produce this kind of error on supported hardware and software. Even if the game is the immediate trigger, the error indicates a problem, or an additional problem, with the graphics driver or the GPU itself.
- @puzzlezaddict Used DDU and same 141 LiveKernelEvent errors. There was a new NVidia driver dated 5/24. Got through the Vader fight at least but then crashed at the of the 3rd cut scene after the fight. If only we were paid beta testers! :P Never had so many problems with any game before.
@Psycho_Stimpy There's a separate thread about crashes post-fight:

I doubt it'll help, but at least it's a known issue. I have no idea why this is happening for a few people, and to be honest I got tired of troubleshooting my own freezes during the fight itself and switched to story mode to get through it. But perhaps some combination of disabling Raytracing and manually capping fps could help you get past these crashes and back to playing.
