Does Anyone Know How To Reduce Crashes?
been playing this game for a week about 67 hours with 68 crash_dumps. I'm literally going crazy since I want to play the game but game doesn't want me to play.

Stuff that I want to mention;
• My BIOS and GPU Driver are up-to-date.
• Using Windows 10, also up-to-date.
• No anti-virus programs installed, barely using Windows Defender.

I've read and tried following methods, but didn't work;
• Turning off Epic Games Launcher, as someone claims it makes crashes more frequent.
• I'm using a 6 core CPU so I've set the option to 3, nothing changes.
• Disabling background apps, which my PC can easily handle but still.
• Turning off/setting low graphic options.

Methods that reduced crashes;
• Setting working threads to 1, but affects performance.
• Disabling fullscreen optimisations and running as administrator.

Try setting your threads to 1 in the launcher settings. For me it fixed crashes and reduced the number of times I get kicked from games (I can now sometimes finish an entire match without ever losing connection).

Depending on your machine this will hurt performance and you'll need to turn down your resolution.

Will try it, performance is not an issue I can easily run the game on ultra with raytracing without upscaling in 1080p. I don't think just utilizing one core tanks down performance that much.

It's normal. Performance and stability is poor for this game.

It's just surprising that game have a mostly positive tag on it while it's barely playable. I get it, it's really fun but it's a nightmare on technical levels.

Turn off ray tracing

Nothing changes, as unstable as it was with raytracing. Setting threads to 1 is somewhat more stable for now. At least game didn't crashed on it's first launch.

Running as administrator completely fixed the game for me, make sure to give privileges to the .exe and launcher.

Make sure to update Windows to the latest version available, that solved the problems in my case.

Surprisingly helped to reduce crashes. I hope it'll stay that way.

4001 error continues...

Nope, crashes returned after sometime later. Still running in 1 thread and administrator rights. Like come on, it's being 79th crash now. It's WAY too much.
