Weird Crashes :(

[Lucent Moon]

I haven't played the game in like a week or so and now suddenly it's crashing constantly usually before I make it to the quest target monster. It's odd because most of the time I don't get a crash report and both steam and mhwilds blink closed. Issue was on nvidia drivers version 576.28. When I rolled back drivers to 572.83 which I previously had no issues with, it crashes there as well. I tried running steam and mhwilds as admin and making sure windows uses my graphics card for wilds. I verified the integrity of the game files and reinstalled, same issue.

Here is a crash report. System specs: 3070ti mobile, i7-12650H, 32GB RAM.

does it crash in multiplayer and single player? The issue could be multiplayer related...
I personally cannot use crossplay, because the game always crashes when I get to a monster...

I've been doing online single player recently. I'm assuming it'd crash in multiplayer as well. I know crossplay was working fine for me at least in the past.

[Criss Angel ◥▶ ◀◤]

I actually haven't been able to play at all either. I coinicdentally bought a new PC and thought that might be the issue, but I can't leave the hub without it crashing.

[its ya boi kenny]

Yeah I randomly can't even open my game rn without it crashing lmaoooo

[Chojol]

Same issue for me, game just crashed right when starting the new Rey Dau event, and the crash report started.

[DoubleQuarterPounder]

Exact same crash for me as well. I had no crashing problem when the game first released. But it's been crashing since last week. And I even increased my virtual memory to 90GB, still the same random crashes. Sometimes, it's around 30 mins sometimes it's around 10mins, totally random.
Not sure if it's caused by most recent KERNELBASE.dll of Windows 11. Because I saw this error in system info:

Can you check your systeminfo file as well?

[打打小怪兽]

same here, kept crashing since yesterday after my win11 upgrade. with win 10 the new rey dau event runs well. not sure if this is an win11 OS issue.
