Game keeps crashing
I was playing this game fine no problem, then all of a sudden after the first of October I can’t play 30 mins without it giving me a screen saying this game has stop working, sometimes it even causes bsod. I have tried re installing the game, checking and updating windows , GeForce , armory crate literally anything else I can think of but no luck. Any suggestions. I have tried reverting to the previous driver update but then it crashes and tells me my drivers aren’t up to date.

The Nvidea update is glitched, for this game and probably several others. They'll fix it within a week, probably quicker. It happens quite frequently with Nvidia driver updates.
Roll back your GPU driver to the last known good driver. Once the next update comes out, install both, you should be good to go.

Even on my non development machine I stick with Studio drivers. Unless you're playing day 1 releases it's a lot more stable and by the time it's updated, generally any bugs have been squashed.

I reverted back to the old update on geo force and even tried using the studio driver but now I can’t even play an hour before it crashes and always the same screen, just give me an option to report it or not. Very irritating when I just want to play the game on my days off

It is the studio drivers I'm talking about.
Their updates are released roughly weekly. It is not at all unusual for the latest update to cause problems in this game and several others. There is usually another update to that update, which fixes whatever got broken in the first update.

Studio drivers are never released weekly.

Ah, OK, my misunderstanding :steamfacepalm:
I thought Studio meant Nvidia. It was Game Ready drivers I was thinking of.
My bad :(

So how do you prevent the weekly/2 weekly Game Ready Drivers from updating your system? I'm now using an AMD GPU. But I did have a 2070 Super in this rig initially, and a GTX 750ti in my previous rig. I had it set to notify me of a game ready driver update, which I'd then naturally download and install. But I don't remember there being a setting for Studio driver updates only, or however it's phrased.

In the old GeForce Experience app, next to check for updates, there was a little dot menu which you could you to choose between them.

In the NVIDIA beta app it's similar, just a small triangle next to the update option.

Or you can manually download the Studio driver.

This is what worked for me in your game library right click and go property and in launch options add " -windowed -noborder " Without the quotation marks and launch the game once you are at the menu you can change it back to full screen hope this helps

I tried everything myself, after last windows update, game was cooked and done working. I tried everything, it crashes on launch.
It will not work, just give up man

for whatever reason win 8 compatibility mode worked for me. Been playing fine all week then autocrash,

I've had issue with the game crashing thanks to intel CPU issues. If you're running 13th or 14th gen intel CPU, update BIOS. Solved all of my crashing issues.
