Recent crashes due to atidxx64.dll

[Blackleson]

I was last able to play BF4 okay on 4/30. Logging in today (5/3), I barely get a minute in before BF4 crashes with faulting module atidxx64.dll. Sometimes, the game crashes before it has finished loading. The game seems to run fine on the Test Range and empty servers.

I have tried using the latest 14.4 driver and the beta 14.4, but was using an earlier driver just fine a few days ago, and tried rolling back to it in between. I have also updated my Realtek driver to R273, to no effect.

The only Windows update installed since then was the IE patch (KB2964358). Firefox also updated to version 29, but it also crashes when launched from IE. Punkbuster is also up-to-date.

I have even tried switching between my two monitors, Acer AL1716s connected by VGA/D-sub and DVI, and the game has failed on both.

It's the antialiasing. Was running 2x MSAA ever since launch, but now that's not good enough.

I have the same problem as you, it started a few days ago. I connect to a server, it loads up, and not even a minute passes and it crashes. I haven't installed any updates in the past few days ( except some firefox updates ).

Hi, 

-make sure that you've updated your drivers to latest version.
If AMD then go to its website and do the same. http://support.amd.com/en-us/download
Choose a 'clean install' (usually in the advanced install options)

If the problem only began after updating your graphics driver then try reverting to a previous driver (again choosing 'clean install)
If using Mantle drivers on AMD and crashing in X64 version then: Go to C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Battlefield 4\settings and delete the file "PROFSAVE_profile" (or you could just move it somewhere else on your PC for safekeeping).This will also reset keybindings and graphics settings so you will need to do them again when you launch the game.

Not sure what went right, but between more installs of 13.12 and 14.4 between cleanings with AMDCleanupUtility, turning off antialiasing, and even mistakenly clearing out an old PROFSAVE_profile from an older folder, I'm not crashing at the moment.

thanks mate, I tried like 500 "fixes" the whole weekend...

I am using an ati card too and it was the antialiasing for me also.... after I turned it off I could play again :O)

thx!

I have the exact same problem and narrowed it down to antialiasing. Game works with it switched off, but does this mean I can never have it switched on again? I think graphics at a distance look really crumby with it turned off. It's much harder to make out enemies at range. Surely antialiasing isn't now permanently borked for a lot of users?

Still happening 5 months later, and I have ot agree the lack of AA is kind of ruining the experience, can anyone comment is it only on certain types of AMD/ATI cards? or even further that Nvidia doesn't have the issue since it doesn't appear it's important enough for people to fix in updates either driver or game side..

It was fine for me till the latest patch and then atidxx64.dll errors in my Event Viewer > Application logs. I surfed the web for literally DAYS trying to fix the game crashing the moment i start a match.  I updated to latest ATI graphics drivers, updated Punkbuster, did origin repair, deleted Ati raptr profile, tried 32 bit version of bf4, unchecked cloud sync in Origin, unchecked origin in game in Origin settings.  Turning off Antialaising worked.  OMFG  (Thanks for taking the time to post suggestion)

I've got a HD 6670 and it's also happening to me!

onlt sulution is to turn of AA. but like anyone else says, its ruining the expirience cause you cant see enemy's when there over 70-80meter's (I'am from denmark)
