Background: I experienced two main issues with Division 2 that prevented me from playing the game. Was experiencing random crashes / game freezing within 10 minutes or less of playing any activity / raid / open world mission / Countdown. I looked everywhere for fixes and tried Verifying game files, reinstall Division 2, changing EAC to 1 core, allowing permissions on the three game executables but was still experiencing game freezes / crashes.
1. First, was the crash to desktop - the game would exit immediately, Division 2 would exit, UbiConnect will exit (no option to report the bug through UbiConnect) This was fixed by going into bios and disabling all overclocking options ( I did not overclock my PC, but by default some "auto-overclocking" options were on which I disabled). This helped stabilize the game which lead to the next game bug
2. Game freezing with Windows 10 blue circle of death - The game would freeze randomly, the cursor would change to the Windows 10 waiting blue circle, and then crash - UbiConnect will allow you to report the bug. This is related to some audio bug with dialogue in the game that was fixed by reducing both
- Music Volume
- Dialogue Volume
to 0 in settings. SFX Volume can remain at whatever setting.
So far in 4 hours of gameplay (both missions and 2 raids) I have not experienced a game crash or freeze
Edit: Ran more open world missions and another raid (roughly another 3 hours) and no crashes.
