idk if it will be asked but just incase, my specs are no issue, I’ll list them as well:
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
GPU:XFX RX 5700XT
RAM:16gb ddr4 3200mhz

Same issue here. Game crashes to desktop and have done so since release. In the mean time I have upgraded the motherboard and reinstalled Windows 10. Issue persists.

Ryzen 3700X
32GB DDR4 @3200 and @3600, both crashes
GTX 1080TI

Tried with and without UHD pack. Lowest and high settings. Crashes to desktop without any error.

Hi All,

Same issue here. Crashes on two completely different PCs.
No error messages on any of them.
No entries in Event Viewer.
Nothing substantial in the Logs folder.

Are there any proper crash logs available?

Hi All,

Further updates on this. Game does not crash at all while on single-player, but it crashes VERY quickly on multiplayer mode.

Getting same bugs here on STEAM. The game would keep crashing both on singleplayer and multiplayer games without error message.

Developers? Anyone?
