Consistent Crash after November 29th Patch

[MAGUS]

Seeing alot of people with this issue including myself. No mods, just vanilla game.
It appears, at least for myself. I can load the game but I get kicked to the crash reporter seemingly consistently with various error codes in the same spots unable to play for more than 5 to 10 minutes at a time.

I started a new game and I seem to have isolated what is causing it with no known fix atm. The adjustment to the mutants seem to be bugged when taking damage.
Every time a mutant takes damage in game whether it be from me or an NPC, my game crashes.

For everyone else experiencing similar crashing, if we could test this by shooting the flesh mutant that attacks you in the beginning of the new game to see if the game crashes, it would be beneficial to report to the devs.

if you are using mods is that

Literally in their first 2 sentences they clarify "no mods, just vanilla game."

This is why we can't have constructive discussions anywhere.

I am crashing all the time after the patch and I have never used any MOD in this game.

Update: after a few attempts I was able to make it past the flesh mutant.

My next crash was caused when I fell into the bunker, I didn’t use the ladder and fell in like a true gooner.

Remove config and ini files (user settings essentially) - its an UE5 problem and then verify files. Check other posts like this which one.

No mods here on a fresh install, it will randomly crash every five or so minutes on all of my saves. No shot I start another playthrough after 70+ hours. What a joke man, they made us wait a week for a patch that made things worse.

I already removed those files.
I understand there were 3 of them, verified integrity, started new game.

Now I’m testing. Everything I’m posting is after I did those things and started a new game.

I have heard having frame gen on can crash the game after the patch, so maybe try turn that off if you have it on.

I’ll try that, just crashed again while picking up the scanner from the 2nd time you put it down, where it creates fire anomalies. Seems like the patch made the game fairly unplayable for me and many others if a fix can’t be found.

nah doesn't fix the problem

For the love of Strelok I’m getting crashes everywhere. I’ve crashed 3 times in a row after picking up the scanner immediately after loading my save.
Now I’ve made it past picking up the scanner, but I’ve crashed three times in an row exiting the little cave where you put it down.

Gona have to put this game down for now, I’ve had over 10 crashes repeatedly in less than an hour of gameplay. Hope the devs put out emergency patch for this.

I think I found a fix because I no longer crash.
What I did is reload a very old save that was before the soflock in Visions Of truth and now I no longer crash. I lost around four hours of progress compared to my last save in Pripyat but hey that's what you get when developers decide to release their games in a broken buggy state.

Getting sucked into an anomaly instant crashes my game now for some reason.
