Still Crashing...
After the recent patches v1.01 and v1.02, I thought that the crashing issue that has been plaguing my experience would be fixed, but no. Sometimes the game will crash right at the start of the day, other times it plays without a hitch, and most often it crashes right when I'm about to do something important and I lose the entire day's progress. This is downright infuriating and unacceptable for a game which relies on long periods of unsaved progress to succumb to crashing this frequently. Please, if anyone has found a miraculous fix, tell me immediately. Here's my PC specs and what I've tried so far, with nothing providing a permanent solution:
- SPECS:
- GPU: NVIDIA RTX4080 SUPER
- CPU: INTEL i9-14900KF
- RAM: 64 GB

- ATTEMPTS:
- Updated graphics driver to latest version
- Downgraded graphics driver to previous versions
- Ran the game as administrator
- Uninstalled and reinstalled the game
- Verified integrity of game files
- Uninstalled other Unity and non-Unity games
- Ran SFC


Nothing has worked. The event viewer on my machine lists the error code 0xc0000005, just the default application error. This is the only game that I repeatedly have problems with, and am starting to reach my limit of what I can tolerate for this game. Support ceased communications after the first reply, and nobody I've asked knows what to do.

Same thing here. Its the only game that not just crashes but restarts my pc lol.
I personally stopped bothering with it until they release a big patch or something.

The only thing that comes to mind is that might be something related to sound because there are slight sound disruptions before a crash happens.
I have the same specs as you except different amount of RAM. I've also had random crashes. I'm on nvidia driver version 566.36.

Same, its something they have to fix. Nothing we can do but wait.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, OP, but the problem may be your CPU.

I have an i9-13900KS and I had frequent crashes until I addressed the mistakes Intel made with this generation of CPUs. They basically run themselves too hard and burn out, causing permanent damage that then causes crashes. Worse yet, the damage builds up over time and degrades the CPU permanently.

I have now fixed it, and my system has gone from frequent crashes to the point that games are unplayable, to basically no crashes. In this game I have 40 hours no crashes.

What I have done is used Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility to downclock from 55x multiplier to 52x, and increased the core voltage to always be +0.25v. I have also turned off the dynamic overclocking that the mobo does, turbo-boost or whatever it's called. That is the feature causing the damage on the CPU's in the first place. Those numbers may not be right for you, but you can turn that stuff off in the bios and try similar downclocking/upvolting (slowly, a little at a time) for your system and I believe you will see improvement.

No, the patch Intel put out was *not* enough to resolve the issue.

If you think I'm full of bull, this guy made several videos covering the issues 9 mo ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afN6SaT21cQ

I'm crashing as well on a 5090. Only game that crashes
I am also having crashes. This is the only game that does so. I am using a RTX 2070 and i7 8700.

Same.

Get sound stutter when adjusting Win volume or tabbing out with win key to take notes, screenshot etc. Nothing like this happen with any other games (Steam or GOG) or apps generally i can think of.

Today tabbing out resulted in frozen screen with that loud “sound-buggy“ clicking sound.
PC was non responsive. No reaction to ctrl-alt-del so had to turn it off manually.
After restarting the game the day i was on restarted from the beginning.

Given the absolute MUST of freely switching between this game and other apps for notes etc this i a pretty big deal..
Roll back your Nvidia driver to Dec 2024.

Sorry to hear that it didn't help. I know how frustrating it can be, I nearly threw my PC from the 10'th floor during my struggles. There's no excuse really.
Sounds like hardware issues or driver issues.

It ain't a game issue, that I can tell.

My gf literally installed to her old ass hp laptop, works fine.

Hi there everyone, I'm sorry to hear some of you are experiencing issues with game crashes. If you haven't done so already could I ask you to send a ticket to our support desk: https://rawfury.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1 so that the team can investigate this? Thank you 🙂
