:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

:question: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). Limit to ONE issue per thread.

Game crashes as soon as there’s any combat, literally the first sword swing causes a crash. Has happened on multiple PCs. (2 users had the same issue in the same game) Happens every time we play multiplayer versus each other. We’ve tried new drivers, reinstalling, verifying game files, turning off blood and turning down all settings. Occurs in multiple maps and game modes. Game always starts off fine and then as soon as there’s even the smallest bit of combat versus an enemy the game crashes.

Very frustrating and not fixed in latest patch. Has occurred since anniversary update.

Game crashes to desktop with no error log or error message.

Feel free to message me for more information.
