BF3 multiplayer crashes [SOLVED]

[Long John]

I just bought BF3 from Origin and yet to finish a full MP map without crashing. Specs:-

Games settings: High

i3 2100 - HIS HD 6770 - 4GB DDR3 - 60GB SSD Boot (31GB free) - 500GB HDD (187GB free) - Onboard Audio - Vista 32bit.

Just did a fresh install of Windows with lastest drivers. No other games have problems and the single player works fine.

I thinking maybe network even though I havent had problems in other games - Any ideas what else might cuase this please?

By 'crashing' do you mean returning to desktop or your system freezing or BSOD? How long does it take for any of the above to happen?

Freeze, ALT+CTRL+DEL then shows BF3 needs close. Event viewer details

Code: Select all

Faulting application bf3.exe, version 1.3.0.0, time stamp 0x4fa421a5, faulting module bf3.exe, version 1.3.0.0, time stamp 0x4fa421a5, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x00017ae0, process id 0x13b0, application start time 0x01cd4adfdea1c82e.

Sometimes happens in less then a minute, sometimes after 10min.

Perhaps have a look at this thread: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2832654624714033242/

The error your getting is relating to a memory exception. You either have dodgy RAM or the OS is simply running out of Memory. By all means you should probably check your ram with Memtest86 as well to make sure your hardware is fine. but i suspect this issue only happens with BF3?

Some people are reporting success with the above method, just make sure you read the Windows 7\Vista 32 bit section, not the XP section (its divided up).

Let us know how that goes if you try this method out.
