How often does MP crash for you and any tips for avoiding it? [PC]

On PS4pro.
Unknown crash during MP (game shuts down) - 1 in 10 games
Host disconnect - 1 in every 7 to 8 games.
Massive lag (You need to dash three times to make it work once) - 1 in every 6 to 7 games.

Just approximation.

I don`t think difficulty had any difference with my experience, but if you are playing on PC some comps might get affected by more and bigger enemies spawning.

I need to summon the Spaghetti monster on Thursday so that he touches the game with his noodley appendage, apparently...

Crashes on PS4Pro are completely unacceptable in my opinion! :gentleman:

I think Origin is indeed part of the problem - the game will continue to crash if I don't restart it - restarting Origin does help indeed. Ugh, that malware...

I have to admit, I am surprised, but I haven't crashed a single time so far. Crashed all the time on DAIMP, but the worst I am getting here is the occasional getting stuck out of map geometry bugs.

Well, I also haven't got a single negative trait on my 4 strike teams and every single public gold game I played so far reached extraction, so I think I screwed up by buying this game instead of playing the lottery.

I've only had 4 crashes in the 125 hours I've played and 3 of them were in the 71 hours I put into single player.  Can't even tell the cause of the ctd's as there is no error msg and nothing in the event viewer.  I'm running both the game and origin as an admin, though not sure if that makes a difference.

Mine crashes a lot lately. Getting pretty annoying.

I have disabled the Origin overlay and didn't experience any crashing since. I haven't got any overlay active besides it, no fraps, geforce experience, etc.
Dunno if I'm just lucky or that this actually made the difference.

I do get the 'connection to servers lost' while on the Strike Team screen, and I do experience odd bugs and sometimes lag with some hosts.

Using a Geforce 1080 with all the latest drivers, Windows 10, 16GB Ram, virtual memory set to 'let Windows manage' blah blah.

For me, it crashes to desktop 100% of the time when entering multiplayer; usually before it's even done loading, otherwise within ~1 minute.

It crashes for me in almost any off host game. Even my buddy who lives 30 miles away, has the same isp with over 300mb connection, gets this result. But when I host almost nobody crashes. 2 instances in 2 weeks. But it's laggy as hell for my American friends. Much and much laggier than ME3.

you could try disabling browser help objects and see if that makes any difference, I noticed I crash a lot more since the origin update last night/

Ok, that was the one inherited from ME3 through DAI. It is server side most likely. Same code came with the well known retaliation glitch in ME3 that is known to be cause by some server errors related to challenge points and other types of synchronization. It is typically a permission denied / access violation probably due to some invalid request.

BlueScreenViewer refuses to open these dmp files. And I don't have VisualStudio

Edit: I was able to open it with WinDBG that is a part of SDK. No need to install the whole SDK, just this part. Then, go to File-Open Crash dump.

The contents is actually locked or so it seems. It says "This dump file has an exception of interest stored in it. The stored exception information can be accessed via .ecxr."

Same error:
Access violation - code c0000005 (first/second chance not available)
ntdll!NtWaitForSingleObject+0x14:
00007ffd`e3cc6154 c3

The code is from Frostbite, maybe some processor fault.

In either case, I'm not getting anything DUMP'ed there since March 23rd despite having numerous shutdowns. And even those which are there were not actually BSODs, they were same silent shutdowns.

Hm, that's unusual; all of my crashes are getting dump files (in the Andromeda file). No BSOD's or any of the sort, just a quick and quiet crash to desktop. Regardless, I think we're undoubtedly looking at a server side error. Especially seeing as you're telling me this one was also in DAI and ME3 (played these on console myself). It's unfortunate to see these carried over...

But, here's to Thursday providing some relief via the patch.
