Crash to desktop even worse now.
Anyone else find this is the case after the recent update? It was bad before on my machine, but now even worse. Played the entire new DLC map with no issues - as soon as I enter Invasion mode, where that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ damned anti-cheat thing kicks in, KABOOM every 5 minutes.

This is getting beyond lame. PLEASE remove the EAC requirement and you'll clean up at least 50% of people's crashes and bug reports! It's not bloody rocket science!

I cannot make it crash on demand, but I can seem to jog it along a bit. If anyone could try the following (Windows 10 here) to see if you can make it crash, it *might* help the devs.

In invasion mode, I hit the button to search for a match. When a match is found, cancel it straight away (before the timer runs out - hit the Escape key and confirm quit). Click 'find match' again, and again when it connects, bail before the match starts. If I do this 3 or 4 times (which before everybody starts whining about, I do because I vet who I play against), if I let the next match connect, boom, crash to desktop pretty much every time. This was WAY more stable before this latest update, and I could cancel as many matches as I wanted in a row.

Can confirm this. Game keep crashing when I wanna cancel a match (happens very often, cause every second player is a lvl 40 map scrubber just wanna farm invaders and luring them into traps, and I dont wanna waste time with this sweaty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ players so there's no other options than cancel it). Very annoying, dont make any fun anymore when you permanently need to restart the game after every second session.

Your replication steps work. I am experiencing the same and it's getting worse with every update.

Hey there. The team are dilligently working to resolve these crash issues. In the meantime it will be hugely beneficial for us for any instances to be reported to our support agents as it will assist in diagnosing the issue effectively. https://support.rebellion.com/hc/en-gb/articles/6987790521501-I-want-to-report-a-crash

Yesterday every time I would end a survival map either by manually exiting to the lobby or finishing a game, the game would crash. Hasn't happened today but I've only played once today.

Yep, had the same issue. I didn't play for a few days and then realized there was a new map when I saw the update. I let it update and was able to play for a while without any issues... Like a day.. Then suddenly it crashes constantly. I at first thought it could have been the graphics driver since NVIDIA just updated it again. I rolled back the driver and it didn't fix anything. I also had some weird things happen. When the game crashed it killed my Bluetooth all together. I would reboot then get an error saying device descriptor failed. If i turned the computer off completely, Bluetooth would come back on fine. I used Bluetooth for everything for a few hours no issue. Then launched SE5, 10 mins into game crash and Bluetooth gone. Don't get what the game does to my BT, but it kills it. shutdown and it comes back. Played Ark for a bit, then played State of Decay 2 for a bit, no problems. Launch SE5 and boom 20 seconds later crash, takes out Bluetooth.

I had a TON of problems at the EAC junk. As soon as the rebellion text showed up my computer screen would flicker (right after EAC then red rebellion text) would then show the text at the bottom just as it crashed. Cant we used a different cheat system? I quit playing team play because I constantly saw cheaters. How do they hit me BEHIND a concrete bunker. Literally where you first spawn behind a building and below the ground level and I got head shot every time. When i got on the ship and was behind a tank, head shot through the tank. As the scene showed where the enemy player was it went through the tank. The dude never moved either he just kept hitting everyone. 100% head-shot and had a massive score of like 80+. It is kind of fun but tired of cheating. People are using aim bots that are undetectable. You can google it and find out they are renting a service so they don't get the ban and it acts like a "service" giving you aim bot BS. That needs to be blocked and stopped.

I never played Axis Invasion until about 2 weeks ago, so I had to add the anti cheat.
So I don't know where all my crashing problems came from. The anti cheat or Axis Invasion?

The Update brought away the Epic register spam. Good but now Game Crashes to Desktop with lost video card. Bf 5 is running hours of hours with my rog strix 4090. But alot have problems with nvidia drivers i get crashes by jedi survivior too with last nvidia update but the game said i should use the newest nvidia because problems have been reported by the installed one.
Best thing you could do is dont restric any memory or try with Nvidia DLSS 3 to mess around as developer. AMD also has card beyond memory restrictens so it is okay that you try do make Games playable on weaker PC look nearly as Good a on highend PCs like console games. But this never worked and will as long Users can build there own system which is never the same even with ident Hardware. So if i can run Bf5 with my Clock Settings all maxed out and Raytracing which is still unbeatable in ponit of realistic looking and nearly all destroyable. It is for sure the memory restriction to make Games work with same settings that are rendered per ki over connection and sent to your gfx card. Easy Solution is make a turn of DLSS in Settings with cards with more then 12GB of vram to not force the vram to be cleared on cards with much more vram. Nearly any newer AMD has 16GB and Nvidia newer cards have alot more the 12GB. just for example i dont know your settings for vram.

Thx for game update what i changed from my side installed nvidia studiodriver and lowered in gpu tweak the max Framerate it should render to 180 from above 1023FPS.
I played about half an hour not stealth to test out fights that force engine to work more.
No crash with normal Gpu Tweak Settings. The Game look so much better now.
Good and fast work.
