Are you playing coop or SP? I have been playing SP and have not had any crashes. Last two days I played for avg 4 hours at a time. Today I have been on all day and no issues. I have about 40 hours on the new release and never crashed once.

Mine crash about every 4 "loading" fase. As in going in and out of caves. or if i go too far. Im pretty sure its a memory problem. I do play on steam deck though, my main rig with 32Gb ram i did not experience any problems.

Yes but I think it was due to using FSR3. Try turning it off.

Total of things I tried:
1. Older backup of savefile
2. Validate game files
3. Disable SpecialK (injection software) / you probably don't have this
4. Update graphics driver (I have Nvidia)
I tried all 4 of those but none worked, when i switched back to DLSS everything stopped breaking. However, the driver update could have also been the reason but its hard to tell.

I dont want to go back to FSR3 to try since the game would crash my pc so hard then upon rebooting, my monitors would have loads of dead pixels and artifacts/ broken colors etc. Was kinda super worrying.

TLDR: Turn FSR3 off or switch to DLSS.

Same here, randomly freezing multiple times. Been saving a lot because of this - I got to the space ship and it froze. I am not happy... NEVER crashed before in 600+ hours of playing before this update.

Can confirm. I'm not using FSR and still it crashes randomly and I loose a lot of progress in the game. Never had any issues with that in early access. Since the last update it's there and atm I don't want to play it anymore. I lost too often my progess.

ok I thought I am the only one but for me it crashed also 2 times already in under 2 hours. Lost 2-3hours due to that.

Would you be willing to check to see if crash dumps have been generated for these, as well as provide a dxdiag to help us track down the issue?

To find the crash folder, you can paste this into your windows file explorer and then you can zip up the crash folder and email it to [e-mail] with a description of when you are crashing (On main menu, during load, after loading in and playing for a while, etc)

%temp%\Endnight\SonsOfTheForest

If you do not find a crash folder at the path above, try the following instead
appdata/Local/CrashDumps

Additionally, if you would be willing to provide a dxdiag dump to the email i provided, that would also help.

To get your dxdiag, you can do these steps:

1. press the windows key on your keyboard while on your desktop
2. type dxdiag
3. You should see a 'dxdiag' exe appear in "Best results". The icon is a blue circle with a yellow x. Click this
4. your pc will go through your hardware and drivers, and open a window with all of the data.
5. Click "Save All information" and then take that text file it generates and you can add it to the email with the crash dumps.

what a stupid comment, so because people can afford a good pc instead of a potato you are jealous and "entertained" when something goes wrong for them people with high end rigs? and its not just 40 series i've seen loads of posts with all types of gpu's nvidia and AMD and it crashes.

look at how many hours i have in the game then come back with a intelligent reply. its not my pc at all. psa for others the support team suggested i roll back my driver and it fixed it.
