Summarize your bug Crashed to desktop when entering a world event in freeplay
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play free play
What happens when the bug occurs? The game crashes and no error logs in evenviewer or anything
What should be happening instead? The game should still run
Every time i play a free play regardless if its with friends or random my game crashes when entering a purple enviroment ( world event ).
This dont happen when playing strongholds or Legendary missions or running around in the town/forge etc. ( Point out that everything has worked fine before the 24 april patch )
I have got this since the latest patch of anthem and nvidia drivers ( though installing an older driver for nvidia dosent solve the problem either)
I have tested to play on the lowest graphic and still the same is happening ( also only get like 60-80 FPS on lowest settings, and on ultra settings 60-80, and the fps can be my CPU is only i3 8100 but this is not the problem)
I got a 1000W Golden PSU so that is not the problem either.
I reinstalled the whole computer and still the same problem.
Repaired the anthem files and didnt solve the problem
Have everything on "Default in nvidia drivers"
Analysyed the crashdump file MDMP from documents/bioware/crashdump
Only error i can come up with or see is the ( see dump.txt file)
BUCKET_ID_PREFIX_STR: APPLICATION_FAULT_NULL_POINTER_WRITE_INVALID_POINTER_WRITE_ FAILURE_PROBLEM_CLASS: APPLICATION_FAULT FAILURE_SYMBOL_NAME: Anthem.exe!NvOptimusEnablement
FAILURE_ID_HASH_STRING: um:null_pointer_write_c0000005_anthem.exe!nvoptimusenablement
FAILURE_ID_HASH: {f580e9c6-141b-2ac0-f3fd-762966ac25c0}
UPDATE:
more testing with this shows that the error occurs when i interact with exampel Fragments ( mission objectives ) and the game crashes directly to desktop
Only in Free play at World Events ( can pick up journals / minerals / chests in the world)
Update #2
I joined my friend in Free Play and he interacted with a Fragment and the game freezed for 3 seconds and then crash to desktop. ( when i was near the World Event)
When im not near it dosent happen
Update #3
Upgraded the nvidia drivers to 430.53 , didnt help
Update #4
Made bios to default with no success, also enables Asus AI suit with digi/vrm to boost the CPU towards CPU current avaible 140% and still the same problem.
Disabled the DEP in windows for Windows defender to offline
Think this is more a server related issue ( newest patch) then rather my nvidia drivers or computer specs
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hey, try the 430.53 driver set, there is a hotfix in that newest version.

@EA_Barry Still the same, crashed to desktop as soon as i was in the area and searched for the agent ( holding F ) in a World Event

I've been having random game crashes to desktop since last weeks patch, doesn't matter what activity I'm doing, within 10 minutes I crash without warning to desktop and to add salt to a wound, the game has bad fps issues for me for like 3 days now. EA has really borked a game that could've been great.

On taking a second look here, it may be worthwhile checking with your laptop manufacturer how to disable NVIDIA Optimus.
I do not want to give you specifics as you may need to change settings in your BIOS which your manufacturer can help you with.
p.s. It would be awesome if that resolves your issue and if you could post your results here too (positive or negative) please.
Thanks.

Why are you telling this guy about bios and nvidia optimus ?
It's also happening on xbox and ps4 , has nothing to do with platform / drivers it's a bug in the patch . If you read the other support posts this would be apparent
