New Patch!

[Schultzy]

I am seeing the same. I wont get to play till tomorrow eve as well.

I played a match and the game ran great for me. No crashes.

Played a few more matches....still no crashes.

Does anybody here know anything about .dmp files and how to interpret them?

Me and Yes.
They are generally useless to people with out access to the debuging symbols etc
They only contain mainly pointers, loaded modules and snippets of memory that surround the area where the crash occoured and the call stack
If anything I'd bombard DICE with them, they have the right stuff to use them, there more use to them than yourself

PS dont post them publicly, sometimes the memory extracted can contain infomation that is sensitive.

Will send it to you then. Do you have a preferential host?

I've taken a quick look at it myself and apparently it's a BSOD usually caused by something seriously going wrong at a hardware level. People say CPU vcore, others PSU, then there's a bunch of people that say it's also caused by drivers and another group that say it's also a BSOD that windows spits out when it's simply not sure of what just happened. I've tested my CPU on multiple passes of x264 encoding and that was stable, memtest stable, afterburner kombuster stable. Not sure what could have caused it but I've removed my GPU overclock for the time being.

Two files that get spotlighted are hal.dll and ntsokrnl.exe.

Installing Unigine Heaven to batter my graphics card for an hour or 2.

Gotta love that they made active radar missiles essentially go across the entire fucking map.

I swear I'm about done with this game already. I still cannot play since this patch. I launch the game get into a room and within 30 seconds the my game crashes. The game ran the smoothest for me at the start when the servers dropped constantly. DICE updated the servers and after that I had terrible stuttering. Now this... I know you can not expect the world right away but DICE seems to be doing a very poor job thus far. Right now as it stands I payed $60 for a game that will not play.

What have you tried to do to fix your issues Henry? You seem to be one of the worst affected by bugs.

Tried opening it in IE instead of Firefox witch it just does the same thing. I didn't try in Chrome because I don't have it. I tried using the repair game feature on Origin and its still doing the same. I uninstalled it and currently am reinstalling the game right now.

Also I noticed in my optimized settings for the game on my GeForce experience seems to be running lower settings. Maybe I just didn't see everything before, but I thought it was running mostly on High and some Ultra settings at first. After the patch I also re-optimized it because of the issues and a lot of my settings are now on low.

The stuttering mostly seemed to be map related to how bad it was. A few of them would run smooth and others would be almost unplayable for me. For some reason Operation Locker witch I figured would be bad because of how much going on was fine. The map with the bridge that C flag and the map with C and D flag side by side run good (not sure all the names yet). Then maps Flood zone and the map where the storm blows in stuttered bad every time. Like unplayable bad. The others stuttered some, but not to the point that I couldn't play although it still was very irritating.

[Dead...Again]

The game crashes for me a lot since the latest patch. Prior to the patch it almost never crashed...

What drivers have you tried? Latest and a few older one's? Tried updating Punkbuster and DirectX? Are you using the 32bit or 64bit version of the game? If 64bit, try 32bit.

I think it might be directX now. I uninstalled the game and re-downloaded it. Now when I try to install it it says that DirectX setup failed. So now I cant even Install it.

Even on my new PC and the patch the audio is still broken for me.

Summary of patch:

We at EA recognize players concerns with glitchy gameplay, laggy servers, server and client crashes and poor game performance, however most of our personel are taking elongated vacations since we sold such a high quantity of our game, and to make you feel better we are doing as much busy work as possible with what few employees we have at work, and are working our asses off to patch nothing and discuise it as important fixes. Thank You for making us all able to take 3 week vacations and for buying our, as planned, broken game. We hope you enjoy the useless patch until we are actually able to regather our vacationing employees to fix the game in 2 months after 90% of people have either already given up on it or are tired of it and moved on. Have a nice day!



I hate to be the pessimist because I actually am a BF fan, ever since 1942, but I just laugh and smile as they fix stuff that doesn't seem to fix anything. Sure they fixed a weapon or two that was OP, but I really could care less about OP stuff if the game crashes every 15-20 minutes. I can't even play commander moce because it crashes so frequently.

I'm currently getting game crashes while a map is loading.
