Fatal error
Anyone found a way around the constant fatal error bug? Can't even really play the game like this.

RT Epic is causing the error. I had ~80fps with RT on Epic but found someone stating that its causing the Error. Took it down to High and no more "Fatal error", had 2 hours long session.

I use high settings/RT off but it happened two times on my 6 hours playthrough.

Edit: Never happened since.

I haven't had it happen yet (over about 4 hours) with all RT set to epic.
I also probably haven't played more than a couple of hours straight yet though.

It's not Ray Tracing. I play with RT off and the game crashes anyway.

Fatal error seems to only happen when you're having a good run. Mine keeps crashing whenever I have the pylon weapon equipped on the second area (after first boss)

Fatal Error while trying to connect to online services.
When I passed the first 2 biomes, I never had another crash. I started a new run after beating the game and crashes on the first biome again. Not sure if it was luck or something in these areas causing the problem.

I dont use RT and still get these crashes.

I also don't use RT and get the crash. I have a 1080Ti

I did all from this video: https://youtu.be/Shk5DXLj3FY
And made video setting to middle, vertical sync off, max fps 60.
And now it is ok, but developers should fix it, it is crap )

I changed to Mid quality, and turned off Bloom. Since I turned off bloom, I have had no crashes.

What I did and seems to work for me:

- FPS cap at 75
- Installed vp9 codex from the Microsoft Store (win10)
- Did a little tweak to force EOSoverlay to run with the game (Epic Store Overlay) which is described on a reddit post (search for "How to prevent the eos overlay from running on")
(it really did make the EOS not running when playing the game). More stability tbh. I don't know if it breaks the online mode or multiplayer stuff.

So far so good. Also, the dev's are working for a new patch so maybe I won't have to do all that to play.
