I don’t have issues with the single player aspect of this game whatsoever, however, on trying to load multi-player mode, I usually get the following.

“Game Manager” will get to “Loading Level” or “Initializing” , the BF3 icon will show on the taskbar, but when clicking it, the game has crashed with the APPCRASH message listed below.

After today’s  “update” the game now crashes even more than it did, not getting more than about 2 minutes into ANY server before it crashes. Always with the same APPCRASH data. I have been told the c0000005 is memory related, but I am running 4 gigs of memory that passes all memtest algorithms without fail. I am running the newer nVidia drivers released just for this game, and the game actually ran better Before the patch today, sometimes getting hours of playtime in before a crash.

System is Dell XPS 720, E6750 processor, nVidia 460 GTX, 4 GB Crucial RAM, nVidia 680i-SLI chipset, and other standard hardware. NO it is not overheating, NO it is not overclocked, NO the PSU is giving out plenty of current (It’s a 1KW PSU), if it was ANYTHING hardware related, why would the single-player aspect of the game work flawlessly without ANY crashes. There is another issue here, probably pertaining to either the network packet handling of the multi-player itself, or something in the way origin is handling memory overflows.

I am going to try reducing down the system after a reboot and disabling EVERYTHING not needed to keep the system alive and see if the crashes subside. The fact that they are now 400 times WORSE than before today’s patch tells me they tried to fix it, and know there is a problem but failed miserably at it.

This system runs ALL other games flawlessly, including MW3, single AND multi-player without issue.

If someone finds a fix to this issue, me as well as 1,000′s of others around the internet would love to hear it as I am about to give up completely on playing BF3 multi-player, which is disheartening being that I have waited so long for it’s release.

Also note that Battlefield – Bad Company 2 played without fail.\

Here is the APPCRASH data, that never changes.
