Crash on load -> Sound device issue -> Guerrilla Games is L.A.M.E

I think this is not related to 1.05 upgrade but I experienced this most after upgrade to 1.05 (although this happened before).
Problem: total crash upon start. Even "send crash report" dialog not working:
Cause: I have 3 sound devices. I picked my Speakers (built into my Zephyrus) in HZD Sound settings and played OK. I left the game (for 2 weeks), when I came back, update to 1.05 installed and crashes started. Nothing helped. Driver rollback, cleaning shader cache, NOTHING.
Solution: I didn't realize this would have any impact but before playing I changed in Windows (system tray) my sound device to my SteelSeries. I started game - TOTAL CRASH. after 2h of trying to fix this, I changed back Sound device in Windows to match one set in HZD Sound settings. PROBLEM SOLVED !!!!!!
Opinion: How can you release a game that crashes when someone uses different sound device in Windows than one configured in your game?!

Because game was created to work with exactly the same sound device, it's not like you can change it on PS4 :)

Well, this is the whole idea of "porting" game. If you release something to platform that can have multiple sound devices, you better support this :)

You just saved me! It's only my third time playing and the first two times I used my desk speakers. Now my kids are asleep and so I had my Steel Series on to keep the sound down and
the game wouldn't even make it to the Main Menu before crashing and I couldn't even send a Report. Change it back to my speakers after seeing this and runs perfectly fine. WTF.

Guerrilla developers didn't make their basic homework. Ability to deal with changing hardware is first thing you handle when you port games from hardware-fixed platforms (such as consoles).
Ehhh, this is the reality we live in.
