Give this a try ..

 

Maybe this  is one reason why I never get this error anymore as I run CC cleaner on my game pc every week the cleaner area and the registry area. I also run CC cleaner on registry area anytime I add or remove a program on my PC then reboot PC and check registry again and keep doing this reboot and clean registry drill until it finds nothing in registry.

 

With all the testing I did with this error I am sure all the extra stuff the video card driver installs makes this error. Faulting module name: nvwgf2umx.dll it is not due to BF4 as all over the net you will see this error for other games and programs on peoples PC's. So holding off for BF4 to fix it is pointless as the issue is on the PC not the game.

 

After much testing on my own PC the last few weeks this is my list of steps for you guys and girls to try and kill it once and for all. As I could not understand how I got it gone since May and it was not working for others.

 

1- Download CC cleaner or a program like it and install it, I use CC cleaner and yes this is how I change my video card driver when it needs doing. Semi pain but worth it for me as I had a war with this error for 8 months and I dont want it back.

2- download new video card driver and put it on your desktop.

 

3- Un plug your net to the PC it can't be online, this is done to stop windows from installing the video card driver from windows update.

 

4- Open CC cleaner go to tools and remove all things Nvidia reboot if need be go back to tools and remove every trace of nvidia and reboot pc.

 

5- When back on desktop open CC cleaner and go to registry scan for issues and fix selected issues then reboot. Keep doing this step until it finds no issues in registry 2x in a row to be safe and reboot PC after each scan.

 

6-When back on desktop and you know registry has zero issiues 2x then work on video card driver part.

 

7-start video card install agree and continue on win8.1 it gives me a warrning reg net unpluged continue anyway.

 

8-Pick custom /Advanced install

 

9- Do NOT let the video card driver install HD Audio driver or Geforce experience so uncheck both they CAN NOT go in

 

10- check off perform clean install 

 

11- you are only going to let the video card driver install 4 things and DO NOT let it install HD Audio driver or Geforce experience and check off  perform clean install.

 

12-When done reboot PC and plug the Net back in. Then open Nvidia Control panel and go to adjust image settings with preview.

 

13-Pick use my preference and set it to performance to help run BF4 more smooth most FPS etc. Reboot PC  to be safe after reboot  run repair game or kill the BF4 folder in my documents and repair game but this will make it so you have to redo your ingame settings.and then test BF4

I had the same problem with nvwgf2umx.dll after googling the hole day I switched to an older version of Nvidia driver: 335.23 and it works no crash in 3 hours gaming Battlefield 4!

 

here is what I did:   You should reboot after every step just to be sure nvidia is really gone! Confusedmileyhappy:

- I deinstalled the nvidia driver - also used CC-Cleaner to check for registry & Nvidia drivers (did it twice after every reboot!)

- then I went to the "Device-Manager" in german "Geräte-Manager" and deinstalled the complete videocard (I used my intel grafiks on the second monitor)

- restarted and nvidia was complete gone -

!!! remember to check C:/NVIDIA and also plug out the internetcable to be sure no nvidia driver would be installed !!!

 

After the system was cleaned, I installed the older Version of Nvidia 335.23 (some guy in the nvidia forum told it helped him!!!)

 

I only installed the grafik driver - nothing else... I will reply if it works tomorrow or if I just was lucky in the last 3 hours. 

 

If you have questions for the steps or something else... Please give a reply if this helped you too.  

 

Until then - hope to see you all out there on the Battlefield! Greetings from Germany! falcc0N

Please help.

I run a gaming centre and i am having the same crash on every PC everytime i or a customer runs Battlefield 4.
 
Faulting application name: bf4.exe, version: 1.3.2.15221, time stamp: 0x541a1598
Faulting module name: nvwgf2umx.dll, version: 9.18.13.3523, time stamp: 0x5315b4af

Faulting application start time: 0x01cfddb2528537e3
Faulting application path: D:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Battlefield 4\bf4.exe
Faulting module path: C:\Windows\system32\nvwgf2umx.dll
Report Id: df94f9a0-49b0-11e4-9ac9-74d4351dd29a
 
I have tried every fix i could find on forums and i have now run out of fixes to try.
the crash can happen randomly but is most common to happen when the game is loading into a new map.
 
i have battlefield 4 premium accounts on all my gaming machines - but my customers are not able to enjoy the game due to these crashes.
 
Fixes tested:
- updating to latest graphics driver.
- reinstalling old nvidia drivers
- uninstalling all nvidia drivers, running registry cleaners, reinstalling drivers excluding nvidia audio and geforce experience drivers.
- downloading new nvwgf2umx.dll file and replacing.
- fixing .dll files
- disabling origin in game
- going to: nvidia control panel, configure surround, physx, physx settings, processor  and selected my processor
 
I have tried more fixes but too many to recall.
 
Please help. As i mentioned i run a gaming centre and have invested a lot into being able to play this game. But instead i keep getting this same crash on all of my gaming machines. 

this is my fb page for my gaming centre: https://www.facebook.com/TalkAndSurfCardiff
 
Thank You

I think its fixed now I dont get any errors now

 

try these 2 things:

 

-start Origin and Bf4 as Administrator! thst important! (perhaps its difficult @ a gmaing center but u need to do this!)

 

-and in Origin u need to disable the overlay

 

game runs fine now no crashes for 2-3 weeks
