BF4 crash to Desktop

If any of you guys still have BF4 crash to desktop issues, try this:

1. Go to the BF4 folder, there is a DXsetup hiding in there that does not run during the game install. Run it as administrator.

2. Create a "user.cfg" (then edit with notepad) config file in the Battlefield 4 folder and then paste this within the file:
RenderDevice.Dx11Enable 1
RenderDevice.Dx11Dot1Enable 1
RenderDevice.Dx11Dot1RuntimeEnable 1
RenderDevice.TripleBufferingEnable 0
WorldRender.TransparencyShadowmapsEnable 0
WorldRender.MotionBlurEnable 0
WorldRender.MotionBlurForceOn 0
WorldRender.MotionBlurFixedShutterTime 0
WorldRender.MotionBlurMax 0
WorldRender.MotionBlurQuality 0
WorldRender.MotionBlurMaxSampleCount 0
WorldRender.SpotLightShadowmapEnable 0
WorldRender.SpotLightShadowmapResolution 256
WorldRender.LightTileCsPathEnable 0
RenderDevice.ForceRenderAheadLimit 0
PostProcess.DynamicAOEnable 0
PerfOverlay.DrawFps 1

I have a gtx 680, and after applying these fixes I have not had anymore crashes.


*Touch wood...


PS. I take NO CREDIT for the above, I found it while trawling through the interwebs

I'm not sure how valuable this is. It could be computer / situation specific.

There have been a few times where BF4 died on me. There have also been a few times where I can't join a game (click join, get as far as saying it's loading [in battlelog], then it dies and errors.

Persistence has helped me. Eventually things started working again.
