UE sandfall game crash

[BestNewBee]

fatal error.. how should I solve it ? I already downloaded newest update
could you guys share your graphic card, memory ? and game graphic setting ?
mine: 7800xt(newest driver version25.3.1), 32G memory,5600x. quick preset:medium, scaling mode:performance . screen resolution: 3840*2160. I tried 2560*1440 too, still crashed

guys , it seemed to work, since I deleted it, I haven't met any crashes about 10 hours
quote AtomicRage：
deleting D3D12 from Steam\steamapps\common\Expedition 33\Sandfall\Binaries\Win64 seems to fix all my problems i only have played for 2 hours since doing this but i was crashing and freezing with and without fatal error every 5-10 minutes before doing this

-------
crash again....

-------
update 28th April.

I've tried many ways to fix this issue ,but still crash , however I haven't met crashes for the past 10 hours, I don't know which part is helpful, so I will post them here, I hope I can help you guys :)

1,run as Administrator & disable fullscreen optimization
2,run game with DX11 commands (with low poly and low fps, maybe red cutscenes)
3,deleting D3D12 from Steam\steamapps\common\Expedition 33\Sandfall\Binaries\Win64 (thank @AtomicRage)
4,update or rollback your graphic driver,and make sure you uninstall clearly , try to find one stable driver version for yourself
5,reset your PBO, clock or anything you adjusted in your bios/CPU/driver
6,update chipest driver ( this is the latest I have done, and since this , I haven't met crash yet)
7,update your BIOS (it seems it's helpful for Intel users)
8,update to WIN11

I guess because of UE..

Definitely UE problem, I'm using i9-13900K and RTX4090 but I've met the same error on other UE game.

I have almost same spec but with 14900k

Played for 6 hours straight, zero crashes.

I solved most of my performance issues and stutters after installing win11 fresh, I know this sucks. But it was worth it.

Yeah, on mine PC Specs : Intel Core i5-12600KF (10/16), 16GB RAM + RX 7800 XT 16GB GDDR6, Crashes are too.

Game runs smoothly on "Graphics Settings : Epic" , but Crashes : "Fatal Error" are exists.

Sadly.

I also in addition to fresh OS install recommend updating MB bios. This is often neglected and it is very important for intel cpu because bugs that causes fatal error in unreal engine 5 games.

got the same issue, closed the game for a quick shower, came back to open the game, now the save crashes every time I try to load it

I already had 8 crashes for the past an hour

I just experienced this crash after the title logo dropped once the cutscene with the Expedition leaving on the ship ended, and the game was loading the next scene. I reloaded the save (just before speaking with Gustave's sister), and same crash. I'm going to verify file integrity and try again. I've been so hyped for this game, I really want to play through it.
