Thank you for one of the buggiest, most pathetic releases I've ever experienced, DICE. You idiots patched a fix for this in a few times and with this last patch you completely reverted those fixes (somehow) and actually made it WORSE than when I encountered this crap initially.
Bravo. That takes real skill to somehow make the game even more unstable after numerous patches and almost FOUR MONTHS since release.
A few have posted turning on VSync in-game also stopped the crashing.
Dont know how you are setup, but if you want to try that you can see.
This is something DICE needs to fix. And ACTUALLY fix, not just patch it once and then undo the next time. I'm tired of trying different workarounds for something that was working "fine" before and suddenly shits the bed almost once every round now since their last update.
