Crashing is a common issue with this port after the last update broke something. It can happen on any map and seems to be related to saving. As far as I know, there's no surefire way to fix or prevent this (outside of never saving), but some people have reported that seemingly random actions have helped them clear maps that kept crashing on them, such as changing various video/sound settings or maybe even collecting items around the map before triggering a level end/exit.

Unfortunately, there's a good chance you'll run into this issue in many other maps too. I think the best "solution" right now has been to try playing on a different source port until they patch this release.

first of all sorry if my english is too butchered since it's not my native language, but anyways, atleast for me, personally what has worked for me in order for the game to not crash that much has been by deleting my own saves after I finish a WAD and spam quicksave, it may be a pain to delete each save manually, but for me, after I started deleting my saves each time I finish something, crashing has become rarer and rarer that it's now nearly unnoticeable.

TLDR: if you have too many saves delete some of those to atleast reduce the chances of the game crashing and don't forget to quicksave from time to time

How do you delete saves (as in what key do you press on the keyboard)? I don't understand the indicated key.

Yeah, the game crashes like crazy. I don't know how they messed that up.

[ninjacarl (dk)]

Deleting some saves does seem to work.

sorry for the late reply, I was sleeping, anyways, you simply go to the load or save feature, and, atleast in keyboard, you press tab, not alt-tab, just tab, then the game will prompt you if you want to delete the save, followed with the question "yes or no", you press yes and the game will delete that specific save file.

I am getting crashes upon beating legacy of rust e2m1 to e2m2.
