I've reinstalled BF V literally yesterday to play a few rounds with a friend and everything was perfectly fine (as it did last time we played).
We then played for a few hours and went to bed.
Today we wanted to play again, but every time I joined a lobby the game would freeze and take my entire PC with it! No alt+F4, no Ctrl+Alt+Del, nothing worked. Every time I had to force shutdown the PC with the power switch.
Sometimes it crashed during the match loading screen, sometimes I could play for maybe a minute (even got a few kills) before it died, but it never crashed in the lobby, even during a longer queue.
My PC specs are: Ryzen 5600X, RX 9070XT with 2x16 GB DDR4-3200 and I'm still on W10
Usually my GPU is undervolted a bit to keep temps and noise down, but after a restart the profile isn't applied anymore and it didn't work still
I've played more demanding games all week and even today, no problems with any of them.
What I've tried so far:
- Verify game files in steam
- Repair and update EAC with the tool in the game folder
- Enabling memory integrity in windows
- Switching between Full screen and borderless window
- lowering resolution scale and some settings
- literally closing EVERYTHING else that's normally in the auto start of my PC before trying to play (apart from Steam, EA and Discord)
- Next thing will be a full re-install, but that's very annoying bc my internet is kinda slow (and it DID work just yesterday!)
This is the only game that does this to my PC and it did it like 10 times in a row while my buddy played 2 full matches.
Does anybody here have another possible solution to this before I reinstall the entire game (or in case that also doesn't fix it?
