Since Latest Update the Game keeps crashing

[Dragneel]

I tried changing the graphics, resolution, window mode but nothing seems to work. Before everything was fine, now I can get in the game very rarely without it crashing
Specs: GPU: MSI 3070ti
CPU Ryzen 7 5800x
Ram 32gb

Try some launch options.

I think -dx11 or -dx12 might do you a lot of good.
If your rig always used to run the game in dx11 fine and is now forced into dx12 with the latest update or vice versa. reverting that might make all the difference.
Steam library --> Enshrouded --> Cog on the right side --> properties --> launch options

You could try to run it as admin. but i don't think your issue will be solved.
i do expect you tested other games to make sure it's a enshrouded exclusive issue and not a PC related issue in general

Another thing you could check for your GPU is that you got it hardset to use GPU for all vissuals for all programs instead of leaving it on automatic.
This can be done via ryzen control panel or perhaps somehwere in windows (i got Nvidia and it got a config panel with 3d settings for it). in some cases with games (after an update) the config by default is not correct. Meaning it tries to run the entire program on CPU without bothering the GPU @ all.
This is also knows as ''úse onboard video'' which is the superbasic video built in the CPU.

Get HWmonitor and run it when you boot up the game.
it's trustworthy software that simply reads and shows hardware performance info in 1 app. how fast your fans are spinning, how much % is that of the max speed. CPU and GPU load in %, temperatures measured from the sensors,
Check if anything in HWmonitor pops out like a GPU yanking itself to 90+ °C or which results in a game crash as a failsafe to overheating or bluescreening when trying to run the game.
If it tries to boot up the game using the onboard video you will see your CPU spike to 100% while your GPU stays idle.

It's classic for a game to have an update and the same overlay that never caused any issues for months is now causing serious FPS drops. Discord overlay, GPU related overlay? See if turning those off have any impact.

Last but not least
Try a fresh new game, new world, new character.
The FPS reduction might be tied to how ''old'' your world is and thus how much you've changed it with mining and whatnot. I've read a lot of posts from server owners that have increased the server restart time or started adding them for stabillity.

How do I enter modifications to the launch options through steam? I'm having the same problem, frequent crashes while playing

[printf("you C?");]

Same for me. Before the last update the game ran just fine.
Since the update i have worse performance and the game keeps crashing constantly. Its nearly unplayable :(

I don't know if this will help but for me the fix was to disable my second gpu. I have my old 1050 I use to hook up my old dvi monitors for productivity stuff still plugged into a pcie slot. I unplug the monitors it attaches to before I game and it hasn't caused problems with other games or this one prior to the last update but when I checked the crash dump it seems that even though the game detects there are no displays associated with the 1050 it still tries to allocate space on it for shaders and seems to be crashing on a vram overflow tied to the unused gpu. I disabled the card in device manger and all the crashing issues stopped immediately.

I've heard of problems like that with laptops, but not desktops. Still, OS is OS, drivers are drivers. I suppose if the crap for the laptops and desktops overlaps in places there could always arise a conflict if some bit of code is too open ended or not specific enough?
