Battlefront 2 Crashes on Dx12

Lately I cannot start the game after enabling Dx12. It used to work a while ago (maybe a couple months) but after coming back to the game it now just crashes after the initial splash screen. System specs:

Processor	13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700K, 3400 Mhz
Motherboard	Z790 AORUS ELITE AX
GPU	Intel(R) Arc(TM) A770 Graphics

GPU driver on latest version (32.0.101.8626). Any ideas to make this work on Dx12? I can provide a dump file securely if needed.

I've never gotten this game to be stable on DX12 for a while, in fact most DICE games pre BF2042 don't have good DX12 implementation on any GPU and DX11 is also kinda bad on ARC, but if you use DXVK Async

https://github.com/Digger1955/dxvk-gplasync-lowlatency/releases or regular DXVK is fine too, wait 10 mins in a match to compile shaders, you will get a pretty good stable consistent FPS if you have a good CPU. DXVK basically functions like DX12.

Sadly that did not work.

That sucks. Dx12 was working well for a while up to a couple months ago when I was playing more frequently, but whatever happened in recent updates has really screwed it up. The crash dump shows this:

ERROR_CODE: (NTSTATUS) 0x887a0006 - The GPU will not respond to more commands, most likely because of an invalid command passed by the calling application.

Really unfortunate, seems like Intel may have changed something and broke compatibility. Thanks for your response.
