battlefield 1 causing blue screen of death
it usually gives video_tdr_failure, i tried running the game on two different GPU-s one is gtx 1660 ti and another is gtx 1070, same blue screen on both and its extremely unlikely that both gpus are damaged, this only happens on bf1, it doesnt happen on any other demanding game,
drivers are all up to date and windows is also up to date so i doubt its that.
does anyone have any solution or has anyone else experienced this problem?

if 2 cards BSOD then its something else in your system
I recently had this bsod on my RTX 3050 laptop GPU and after doing a bit of research, it turns out that its' a NVIDIA-specific bsod. Might have been caused by the latest drivers, as it was the first time that specific bsod occured in like 2.5 years.

It has nothing to do with BF1, however. From my limited understanding of the problem, it is that sometimes the GPU goes completely inactive and fails the tdr check (i.e., it doesn't actually work for a few seconds, meaning it doesn't render graphics).

what I did afterwards, was download this: https://www.aida64.com/downloads/MWI1OTk5ODU=
then you install and run it, then do the following:

1. Start the program and go to the ''stress/Stability'' test. It is a fire/explosion icon at the top somewhere IIRC.

2. The message I reported should appear:
"The Winows video driver Timout Detection and Recovery delay value is configured too low..
May cause the driver to be reset during stability test ...
Do you want ... to fix this issue for you?
.. Need to restart after alterning the value ... -> click ''yes/agree'':

Nothing visible happens, ao just give it a min for good measure before closing everything and rebooting the system.

btw, you do NOT have to actually launch any stress testing in AIDA. After the warning and your confirmation and reboot, you won't need it anymore and I guess you can uninstall it.
After following these steps, I've not managed to reproduce the BSOD for over a week now (not that it happened before the first time it actually ever happened for me) and I imagine that whatever caused the issue is now gone.

i tried this but unfortunately it couldnt fix it, i even went in the registry to edit the tdr delay value to 24 instead of 8, but all it does is give bigger delay before BSOD,

i stress tested both gpus and they work without issues as expected

i rerolled nvidia drivers few versions back, but still same issue

have resinstalled drivers many times now but BSOD dump file still says that crash came from nvidia driver

this BSOD only happens on bf1

update i fixed it apparently it was accelerated graphics memory scheduler setting (idk if its called that exactly but you should see it in advance graphics settings) if you have 2 gpus at the same time apparently bf1 doesnt like that, i had other gpu in my pc because it was given to me free and i decided to use it for my second 4k monitor (otherwise i would definetaly not buy 2 similary powered gpus since sli is now nothing but a myth)

So did you end up turning that setting on or off?

i turned it off and it fixed it
I have same problem. blue screen every time i close the game, even if closing it in minimize state.
I check Event viewer, and the error ID and code was:

Event ID: 1001
bugcheck: 0x00000020 [which means: KERNEL_APC_PENDING_DURING_EXIT]

for now, i'm trying to update my graphic card to see what happens...

it doesn't even give me a blue screen - the PC just freezes so hard - the physical restart button doesn't work...... like WHAT?!

I think everyone should give the game the review it deserves for being unplayable. Maybe if Steam gets enough bad reviews something will get fixed.
