I also encounter random blue screen errors; sometimes it's just a black screen. I have already lowered my settings to medium and disabled anything suggested on websites, but it doesn't seem to work. This is a real problem with this game because I play a lot of games and have never encountered this type of bug. Normally, I can accept a CTD (Crash to Desktop). It happens a lot in any game. But crashing Windows is not acceptable.

I'm still playing it even though it crashes on me 3-4 times each day. It's easy for the developers to claim that there's a discredit campaign trying to bring the game down. I enjoy this game so far, but I got stuck with the real DPS checker "Pyromancer" and the Windows crash events make me angrier and angrier. My PC may not be top-end, but an i5-13500 2.50 GHz with 32 GB RAM and a 4070, Windows 10 My Nvidia driver also updated. it should be more than enough to play this game. My power supply is 800W. I never overclock anything, and I have an anti-surge protector to make my PC run for 4-5 years more.

I run most of my games, even Cyberpunk at full settings with the new ray tracing mode, without any problem. So, I want the developers to check what is happening with their game.If people still keep blinded protect the Dev with that Discredits campaign, I'm starting to wonder if the discredit rumors might have been started by the dev team themselves to protect them from any crash reports they can't fix.

And please stop saying, "I run it fine, it never happens to me," etc. It always happens. When a new game is released, it may have critical errors on some systems. Many games that I play without any trouble crash for other people. This can happen because PCs are not like consoles; the specs and conditions of each PC are different. That's why crash reports need to be paid attention to.

What i looking for is Dev to looking for it "Fix it" or Someone who know well more than me to answer "How to fix it?" or "What i must try to fix it?" so i can enjoy my grind and salt without worry it will crash my machine. So I can review it base only game content not critical bug.

Do you have any proof? Because unless you post the Windows Event Viewer log stating this game is the cause, I'm going to assume you and Caos are just part of the running Misinformation Campaign. https://steamcommunity.com/app/2074920/discussions/0/4408543140360569607/
so now blue screen of death is Misinformation get your ass off the internet if your that stupid

If you're legitimately having a consistent bluescreen with the game then it will be recorded here, and you can either share a screenshot of the event viewer or upload the log from the blue screen itself.

This, in addition to the STOPCODE from the bluescreen itself, is literally the first step in diagnosing a bluescreen problem.

Having same issue. Never had a problem with EAC previously. Would like to open a ticket directly with Nexon, but unfortunately looks like I need to create a char/profile in the game to link my steam to. lol. I'm not upset or anything as it's a free game but a little annoyed that I can't fix it as it stands. Here's hoping a new update gets pushed to either fix the EAC or someone figures out what the actual issue is.

Also side note, I don't really get this whole Misinformation campaign, sounds to me like alot of people just picking random sides to complain and be trolls. So I don't really care for that, just wanted to check out an interesting game.

for diagnoses purposes:

Running GTX 3060
AMD Ryzen 7 5700G
32 GB Ram
Windows 11

Blue Screen error message: Unexpected_Kernel_Trap_Stoppage.
From all the research I did it's pointing to EAC, and I know people are going to say EAC or anti cheat software are evil and malicious and all that crap. So I'm not demonizing EAC, just man it's consistent with just this one game, lol. Anyway if you need more info I'm willing to provide, but right now it seems I have to wait until another update happens just want to put more notice on this issue so the devs can see it.
Will provide more if asked.

Found my fix. If anyone else is having similar issues please try referring to this link: https://www.dexerto.com/gaming/the-first-descendant-easy-anti-cheat-not-installed-error-how-to-fix-2804642/

In short, I had to delete and remove my previous Antivirus software as even though I added the game and EAC to the exclusion list, it was still being blocked (i guess) not too happy with having to do that, but after updating Windows Virus Protections Exclusion list, I was able to run it fine. I'm sure I'll have another issue shortly, lol but glad I got through this one

Also, key point: My experience to get this game to work is not hurting my thoughts on the game, I'm merely a guy that like video games and when one doesn't work, now I got to fix it. So all this talk of Misinformation or campaign or whatnot is dumb. Gonna try playing the game and make an informed decision on a free to play shooter!

So I genuinely was getting a BSOD on every start. Not a smear campaign. What worked for me was: (1) going to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The First Descendant\EasyAntiCheat , (2) running EasyAntiCheat_Uninstall.bat , and then (3) running EasyAntiCheat_Install.bat . If you've gotten BSOD regularly for days you're not alone. Try this and it should hopefully work. No one's here with an agenda to smear the game. People want to play it. Thanks.
