I've tried upgrading my AMD drivers, I've tried downgrading them, I completely reinstalled Windows, I've tried deleting the AMD drivers when I uninstall them, it still happens. All I can say is it happens with both Unity based games i play, this one and 7 Days to Die since their version 18 and this game when I started playing again after the DLC. I've had this setup for about 2 years and never had an issue like this.

Have you looked at CPU and GPU temperatures?

Are you OCing anything?

 

[Warspectre]

No to all of the above. I can tell when my system is being challenged because the fans on my GPU can get pretty loud, and they don't get very loud on this game. Atlas is pretty much the only game I've heard them get really loud on and that game has been pretty stable since before their 2nd to last wipe several months ago.

So if my PC can handle an EA game under more stress and stay stable I'm inclined to believe that heat isn't the issue. But I will keep an eye on the temp and see if it's getting too hot.

Just a quick update, it seems lowering the settings to Medium quality reduced the instances of BSOD crashes by about 99%. It's happened once since I tried that and it's literally the only thing I've changed. I played for several hours over the holiday weekend.

Anyway, I thought I'd post this in case anyone else was experiencing this, but I seem to be the only one so I'm afraid it might be a hardware issue exclusive to me. And the main culprit would be my graphics card and those are damned expensive to replace.
